Jindos are rad...and if you are nihon ken proofed and knowledgeable they are not a huge jump. For others the whole...if let off leash might range rather far and can jump 6-foot fences and have high prey drive and are way too smart for their own good lol...can be an issue.
Basenji (after all they were the breed that lead me to Shibas) Husky Rhodesian Ridgeback JRT! (ahha I see they are catching alot of heat over in the other thread! I love my little squirt! He's not your typical JRT.) Norwegian Elkhound
He's super cute and I've been watching him for a few months. Save my marriage and bring home a fun terrier for yourself! He's even right nearby in Ohio!
I'm really interested in a ton of breeds and I admit ... i'd like to get a CO someday. If I ever have enough land. lol.
- Chow chow - Keeshond - Leonberger - Greenland Dog ( I have a friend in Poland who has a ton of these dogs and trains for races -- AMAZING! ) - CO
I also have slight interests in the Tosa Inu, Anatolian Shepherd, and Malinois. But seriously, I love my dogs being difficult/pain in the ass -- just so much more fun and a challenge to train. Though, think i'll mostly be sticking to the Spitz-type breeds. I love them too much.
I know this is an old discussion, but I couldn't help myself but to start arranging them in my head to put my two cents in... if only because it was a challenge for me to arrange them by number.
1) Ibizan Hound a childhood doggie crush
2) Akbaş Dog another childhood doggie crush
3) Dutch Shepherd ...mostly because of... the wire hairs. They just look so much fun. ,:D
4) Qimmiq I figure they're my speed - they seem very close to the malamute without being the same dog
5) Rhodesian Ridgeback I'm a sucker for "red" dogs, what can I say? Ridgebacks just look so sleek and handsome. Love their personalities, too.
1. Karelian Bear Dog 2. Dogo Argentino 3. Cane Corso 4. Samoyed 5. Alaskan Malamute
My girlfriend's list lol 1. New Guinea Singing Dog 2. GSD 3. Samoyed 4. Bloodhound and the last one is on here because she's not really into the NK breeds, but she is starting to like em. lol
I saw an Anatolian Shepherd the other day at Costco. Yes...at Costco. He was a service dog. I'd never seen one in person and I was super impressed. Plus...really wanted to hug him.
Dave, you're making some good choices there. I know a hunter who owns a vizsla, and he's a REAL hunter and a very nice dog :o) Actually he's so good that sometimes the owner can't keep up with shooting the animals he brings around. The owner once was adjusting/attending to his gun after shooting a bird (which kind I do not remember) and the dog came running with a deer, and when his owner wasn't ready with the gun he turned the deer and came back like "Shoot the bastard all right!" LOL Too hilarious...
