04-28-2009 04:00 PMBuck I have girls about the same age and my wife is dying to get another dog. We have a lot of the same parameters: 1. minimal hair, 2. good with kids etc. For us it will be another Doberman (last one lived to be 14). Don't have the 5 acres so ours will have to live indoors.
Boxers would be a close 2nd choice but the slobber would make me insane......

04-28-2009 04:00 PMDixie is my only papered dog of the three, and she has always cougher. The vet said it was going from cool to heat. Other than that, I'm glad I didn't get a chocolate, yellow, or whatever is the color of the month. Big breeders will breed the dogs, looking for the same color.
Dixie didn't have a single spot of white on her. She has a gray beard now (10 years), but so do I!

04-28-2009 04:35 PMTaken just a couple minutes ago. No, that's not a seven legged dog in the backround. Bandit has only had three since he was run over at three months. Doesn't bother him at all. He can fun fast outside, but plays that old "I'm missing a leg routine" when I call him in.

You sure about that?
There's a reason I ask, since I've had them for a while myself.
One - walking a mastiff is like driving a Cig (like I'd know about driving a Cig ). EVERY person you come across wants to talk to you about the dog.
Two - EVERY one of those people knows someone who has a 250, 300, or 350 pound Mastiff.
I'm not sure why, but lots of people tend to exaggerate these dog's weights. 250 lbs. is not out of the question for a male, but it's still very much above average. My female is about 180 lbs. at a year old.

04-28-2009 07:54 PMMutt. I call mine a Basset in Shepard's clothing. He's a rescue dog my son found on Petfiner.com. Best dog I've ever had. 48 lbs of good buddy.

Labs are great dogs. This is my 12yr old. In his prime he was an amazing quail/pheasant and duck dog. Now he just pulls kids around the pool. The feared and respected jack russell is by far the meanest dog I own.

I have an 8 month old Austrailian Sheppard. Very smart. Loves kids and other dogs. I've spent lots of time with him since work has been slow. They are high energy and love the outdoors. Here's a couple of pictures of the little terrorist.
