Dog question...

My pup came from here. They rescue both pups and adult labs from all over the country. My doggie came from TN. They show you pics and tell stories about all the dogs that are available for adoption. They are a great organization.

You can see my pup's story here under the name "Fifi"...we renamed her Kimber...yes, after the gun. She is now 2 years old.

Id personally go with e Malinois. They are not inbred to the point that german sheps are and are the best damn dogs out there especially
where you live Ryan, they can be outside longer then most dogs due to their coat and also are very good watch dogs.

i dunno anything about these hybrid dogs your talkin about but i'd recommend 'puppies voice'

all puppies, all rescue animals from kill shelters and its super cheap ~ $150 and they pay for half of their snip job

cheapy rescue puppies are the best thing you can ask for IMO

I'd like to read that as well Chad.

So the general consensus is to get a rescued dog? I'd rather not go with the oldest dog possible as this is technically my *First* (on my own not-family) dog, and I'm just gonna go ahead and be honest here the puppy>chicks factor is possibly the best unintended consequence of having my favorite companion. I am pretty active and have already vowed that regardless of breed this dog is going everywhere possible with me, he/she is gonna be a for sure car dog. Thanks for the advice.

Try a pup in the 4-8 month range. Old enough to be potty/crate trained. Young enough to still be a puppy.

But you want chicks, get a border collie and train him to be a frisbee dog!

shelter dogs are great, my bro has one and hes the quirkiest mutt ive ever known, i love that guy. but if you for sure want a young one and want to know the age, try some of the local rescues. many are at petcos on the weekends and are basically mom and pop organizations that take pups about to be put down and foster them locally until adopted. they do an interview and stuff but its just to make sure you aren't a d-bag. thats where i got mine and i love her to death.

shelter might be better for a seasoned dog owner. some of them have hard habits to break. pups you can make them what you want. i agree though a mutt is the way to go, i love all dogs and had a golden retriever as a kid but ive always seen pure breds have health problems earlier

When you go to the pound, walk straight keep your head down, focus on what you have in your mind, do not look at all of them or you will be going home with a truck load of them.
