    We have had several different breeds over the years. We have all rescues right now. We love all our little furry friends, but my favorite is or Welsh Corgi. He is just so loving and such a great pal. I can't say enough about what a great breed the Corgi is. :)

    I love labs. But my chocolate lab was as FBR as I am. Lemme go play with that skunk. Fast forward to next week… lemme go play with that skunk…

    And of course, German shepherds 🤙🏼

    What about a mixed breed dog? They have less health problems in general. I had a chow and yellow lab mix and also a shepherd and Akita mix that I loved. They both lived to be 15-16 years old, were beautiful and had great personalities.

    Can you remind me what FBR means again, I know I read it recently when you explained it before but my senior brain is swiss-cheesy lately. :(

    I wanted to comment on your chocolate lab comment. One of my 2 dogs is a choc.-lab mix and sweet as all get out. BUT she's a needy sort, kinda nervous, and wants to bark/chase everything within a 20 mile radius. After I had adopted her, I read online somewhere how choc. labs can be high-strung clowns. :) I wouldn't give her, or my other lab-pitbull mix, up for anything but some days.......

    I think, if I were to ever get another dog, it might be a boxer mix. Our neighbor has THE sweetest dog, part boxer and that thing is a total love.

    My chocolate lab was my bird dog. But dang, she was retar… er, not so smart.

    Literally got sprayed, like imma stick my nose to that spray hole close, by a skunk twice in about a week and a half.

    I rescued a pitty 7 years ago. By far the smartest, loving, and gentle dog I've had. Mine is extremely good with all people/kids. Generally Pittys are very family orientated and loyal dogs and will snuggle or attempt to be a lapdog if you allow it.

    I suggest you go with whatever fits your lifestyle. If you're active find a dog that can join you. Visit the sites of rescues as they will give out the info on each individual dog (E.G., good with kids, other dogs, cats, etc..).

    I wonder if the O/P is still pondering the decision 8 years later 🤔

    I love the look on his dog's face:D So cute!!! I had a doberman/chocolate lab mix all throughout my 20s (til my ex-husband got custody) Everyone was so scared of him, but he was the smartest, sweetest dog ever

    Rescue!! For every puppy bought from a breeder, another dog dies in a shelter. And most shelters give you a foster trial to see if the dog works well with your family and your lifestyle. #adoptdontshop
