Seriously considering getting the family a dog. My dad owned three types of dogs growing up. A German Shepherd, a mean ass Chow Chow with a purple tongue, and big ass but chill Rotty. I’ve only owned German Shepherds myself. Gave my last one to my father-in-law about five years ago and I don’t think he wants to give him back. He’s a “Shop Dog” now.
Criteria for the new dog…
-Good with children (my kids’ requirement)
-Protector and guardian instincts (my requirement)
-Doesn’t shed a lot and looks nice (my wife’s requirement, as a neat freak)
Another German Shepherd would be cool, but they shed a lot and the wife isn’t having it (and I truly don’t blame her because I get tired of cleaning all of the hair around the house too).
I’ve convinced her that a male
Giant Schnauzer would be the perfect dog. She fell in love after I showed her some videos and worked my magic.
Giant Schnauzer is number one on our list. Any of you brehs have experience with these beautiful creatures? You recommend any other breeds within my criteria? She was feeling the Belgian Mal too, but I don’t know. My boy has one, but the fur and they’re hyper as fukk. I love Corsos too. Cane Corso is too menacing looking and some kennels refuse to watch them though.
