I think you need to consider more than just a love for the breed, and the other things you mentioned. You also need to strongly consider your current dog, and how the addition of a bully breed, or any breed or individual dog, might impact that dog. I'm not a fan of great size differences...

I've had clients report to me that they were injured when someone else's leash malfunctioned, or the handler couldn't reel the dog in fast enough, and the cord cut them in the leg. At another facility where I worked, a client there got 15 stitches in her leg from a "burn" accident. When I see...

If I were you, I would get a copy of Jean Donaldson's book "Mine! A Guide to Resource Guarding in Dogs" and follow the training protocol she outlines.

Ozzy is a 10 month old Australian Cattle Dog, currently in private rescue care, who desperately needs a foster or home situation. He is currently being boarded and his family's instructor has taken over doing some preliminary training. He is good with people, though reserved, and likes other...

:yikes: My sentiments precisely. I like it when they go over the edge and start to blather - they are so much less credible that way.

Tropi-clean. If it can keep my ancient Yorkie smelling good for weeks, it gets my vote!

Don't get an Australian Shepherd if you have no job for it, hate being stared at, and don't like a dog that follows you everywhere.

Can I join the Blue fan club, too??? I haz chikn, Love, Sequoyah

Sure - while you're at it, add some nice crispy bacon to that sandwich. Yum, heaven!!!!

If you want, you can add me to the list for Massachusetts - I only have Saturdays and about a three hour radius from seacoast NH and northeastern MA, but I have crates, leashes, bowls, etc., and a big old Yukon, plus GPS. I don't do shelter pulls, just legs.

Of the two, I'd say get the Lab, but from a good breeder and consider the "English" type (the ones with the heavy otter tail and blocky head). The only thing is, all Labs can be very mouthy as puppies, but that goes away with correct training, and not letting them practice it. The field Labs...

I'm thinking another Aussie, but maybe an English Shepherd. I guess I'm hooked on the herders. But, you never know. Sometimes, when one needs rescuing, I've been known to succumb.

I still feel so badly for those two boys. That despicable, cowardly act will stay with them their whole lives. Not fair. Just not fair.

Well at least you didn't vote for the rose - that's the one that was ahead. :rolleyes:
