The last few weeks I have been dreaming about spending time with my non existent dog. I never really figured out what the "teeth falling out dreams" or the "no pants at school dreams" mean BUT I am pretty sure these mean I want a dog. Like women start to yearn for a baby, I am really starting to want man's best friend. Of course, with medical school schedules dominating my life for the next few years, it's not really possible. But if it were, these are the five breeds I'd be considering:
3. Bullmastiff- My parents have this dog. Her name is Erma, and she is the best dog I have ever personally spent time with. They love being around people. They are protectors. They are quiet. And they are quite lazy, so they don't need quite as much exercise. Only problems include heavy shedders, tendency to slobber, and their chewing prowess. More.
4. St. Bernard- I actually don't know much about these dogs, but I LOVE big burly dogs, and this is THE big burly dog. The first time I had ever seen one was this summer in Switzerland, and it was probably the coolest pet I have ever seen. I'd have to be somewhere cold to actually get this dog, but remember, these dogs were used to rescue people trapped in snow and give them a hot drink which they wore around their necks. More
1. Curly Coated Retriever- I have read that this English Hunting dog that has been around for hundreds of years is THE best family dog. It's the smartest of the retriever breeds (one of the smartest dogs there is actually), very loving, and is said to truly become a part of the family. It does require a lot of exercise and attention, but most dogs do. This is the dog I'd get if I were picking one up today. More.
2. Labradoodle- Nullus. These dogs, a cross between Labrador Retrievers and Poodles, combine the paramount intelligence of a poodle and all american canine personality of the lab. If you can get past the name, and the semi goofy look, these dogs are awesome. Plus they don't shed...so keeping them in the house is no problem at all. More
