What kind of dog for an active guy? |
Hey everyone. I want to eventually get a dog but I don't know what breed. I'm very active as far as outdoor sports. I like backpacking and camping and mtn biking and all that kind of stuff. And I would like a dog that could tag along. Any suggestions? There are SO many dogs that would benefit from being your pet. Labs and other sporting dogs usually have plenty of energy, but you'll have to take into account the weather you will be in since some of them have lots of fur. A really good idea would be to go to your shelter. I've always had danes and wanted another, but when I got to the pound, I found a Lab mix that fit my personality and lifestyle perfectly! Before deciding, just go take a look at some of the animals and ask to take the animals out to get to know them better. I can almost guarantee you will find a dog that will be a perfect companion for you. You should get an Australian shepherd. They are very smart dogs, and they also can be working dogs. I have a few pictures of my miniature Australian shepherds on my 360 page if you don't know what they look like. =) I'd recommend one of these 5 breeds: 1. German Shepherd 2. Golden Retriever 3. Labrador Retriever 4. Collie (Rough Coat) 5. Doberman Pinscher Good luck in choosing your ideal canine companion. I've been around dogs all my life, so I know that these 5 breeds are ideal for someone who's active as much as you say you are. A field type lab or Golden would be a great start. The field type (bred for hunting) is a very active athletic dog that lives for outdoor activity. Maybe a mixed breed. The best dog I had for camping, hiking, canoeing, running, etc was my Huskador: half Siberian Husky and half fence climbing black lab. Huskies aren't usually known to hang around off leash. Any big dog.........Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Boxers, and Rotweilers are all big dogs that thrive on outdoor activities........running, walking, jogging, playing and working outdoors, especially the retrievers that will fetch all day and play in the water. Also, any type of Spaniel, Pointer, or Herding dog, such as collies and Australian Shepherds are good outdoor dogs as well. I have a golden retriever. |
