I think it's time for a new dog

[NOTAGS]

I’ve had dogs my whole life, other when I was in college. Usually had two, I guess so they can keep each other company… sometimes it’s two too many. Had labs for almost 35 years, but threw in a Heeler due to their longevity, he’s  6-7, and bat crap crazy still after  6 years. Super loyal, way too smart. Came from the pound, had been beaten badly , took a long time to restore trust with the dog. Now he’s a little too protective of his people ,  but it keeps the relatives from wanting to stay over.

A friends daughter has a French Bulldog that is a few years old. Loves to play fetch and is super friendly.

I love frenchies but breeders charge a fortune for them.

Yes. Mine sheds terribly. But the loyalty and good behavior. Makes it worth the trouble

What ever breed you end up with, suspect it'll be sleeping on your bed in no time.

 

Never had a cow dog but know they are super smart.   Bred to be aggressive, biting (cows) is what they do.  Socializing is likely a necessity.

They shed like crazy! They have two coats, and they both grow like weeds.  I’ve had labs,  both long and short hair, and they shed. Normal amounts. I’m surprised the Navajos didn’t start raising  Heelers for their fur instead of sheep..  ACDs start shedding, they look like they’ve got  the mange… patches and tufts.  Great dogs, but, if hairs a dealbreaker, get something ending in Oodle,, or an Airedale  or a Welsh terrier. I’m told they don’t shed . But never owned one so don’t quote me.

The Australian Cattle Dog (ACD) is a hardy, intelligent, and energetic herding breed developed in Australia for droving cattle, known for its loyalty, stamina, and problem-solving skills, often called Blue or Red Heelers due to their coat colors. They are compact, muscular dogs with a short, dense double coat that comes in blue or red speckled patterns, and they require significant exercise and mental stimulation to prevent destructive

FYI….busy little shites is what it boils down to

I vote for  Boston Terrier. I take Bucky with me glassing and hunting pretty often he is a really good dog. 

Yours must have good genetics. I have a friend hes in the Boston terrier rescue group or something and he’s always housing them. Those dogs are so bad. They don’t stop barking either, 8 of them shits at the moment. Over the years many that he gets are sick. 
 

but it maybes just cuz he gets resuces from like puppy mills with retarded genetics

We've had one dud but overall pretty good luck.

I have a buddy that's has a Boston  he rescued. Most bada$$ dog I've ever seen. He rides in his RZR with goggles and will play fetch with logs.

Don't discount a standard poodle.  Very athletic and loyal, and a royal pain in the butt for the first 2 years.  Much too smart for their own good.  BUT - this breed wants to be WITH you.  Not something you can turn out in the backyard all day and expect a good experience.

Do it…when mine was a pup he got his teeth kicked out by my horse and broke his jaw that wasn’t cheap but after awhile he got to where he could eat dry food. Hasn’t been on the wet food since. 11 years old now still runs circles around me shed hunting. Best dog I could ask for with my 2 year old also. My kid can jump on him pull his ears “tickle” him and the dog just playfully nips at him. Dog sleeps next to my kids bed now every night. We’ll be sitting on the front porch watching my boy play if a car drives by and he’ll start growling and walk to the sidewalk til he can’t see it. (Not that he has teeth to really make it hurt if he bit someone) But like others said they are somewhat high energy, mines pretty dang lazy now we don’t hike near the miles we used to in the woods but pretty dang good dog around the house.

Wife and I made a deal the next dog was my pick after she picked 2 dogs i wanted a English springer because I had one as a kid and had her for 18 years. People want a lot for this breed. But my daughters friend had 2 cavalier king Charles with a bit of cocker well she couldn't leave one behind so we got both should be med size
