What are some breeds that make good guard dogs? We going to need breeds that are fast, powerful, and intelligent. I will be taking my dad's Plott Hound with me, very loud dog, but she's too friendly.

Are there any breeds of large dogs that do well in apartments? What are dog breeds that are large, but also very laid back? By laid back, I mean they don't require large living quarters for a lot of exercise. A big dog that can relax in an apartment and live a healthy life? I understand that all dogs should be walked and exercised, but some require more activity than others.
What Dog-Breeds Are The Best Frisbee and Long-Jump Dogs? If I wanted a breed that is notoriously good at athletic frisbee catching, and also those long-jump or "water jumps" you see on ESPN, what breed should I go with? The two breeds my friends that know dogs well say are terrific are... Border Collies (supposedly the best frisbee dogs on earth) German Shorthaired Pointers (supposedly top-5 frisbee breed, and perhaps the best long-jump breed of them all) Are those two breeds tremendous choices? Are there others I'm forgetting?
Why are cat breeds not known to us as well as dogs breeds? I love all animals however I feel that dogs get more respect then cats. If you see a specific kind of dog walking down the road you will most likely know what kind of breed it is but when it comes to a cat - well it's just a cat. There are tons of different cats breeds and none but the siamese is well known. Poor kitty's.
What small to medium sized dog breeds are good with strangers and other dogs? I am looking to get a dog. I live in a residence hall, so there would be college students frequently stopping by. I would like a dog that is good with strangers (doesn't bark at knocking, won't snap if someone pets it) and also is good with other dogs (so people with dogs can dog-sit). There is a 50 pound maximum where I live on how heavy the dog can be. It would also be nice if the breed is easy to train and groom. Any suggestions would be great :)
What dog breeds get along best with cats? Are puppies better than adult dogs? We are two sixtyish, fit and active adults with two cats -- one small, female and feisty, and one large, male and needy. We really want to get a dog but need advice on what breeds (or mixed breeds) might be best and whether a trained adult dog or puppy -- though we're not eager to train one -- would be best. Any and all help would be very gratefully appreciated!
Why are people so adamantly opposed to creating new breeds of dogs? People fail to remember that most of our dog breeds were bred for purposes other than being a family pet, most were bred to perform tasks, and most were bred by mixing various other breeds to get a desired result, why do people call those that breed so called "non standard" breeds of dogs "unethical"
Strong dog breeds that are good with other dogs? Does anyone know any strong dog breeds like a pitbull for example, but that are better with other dogs? Because my boyfriend has a husky I have always thought the pitbull was a beautiful dog and I love it's look, how it seems almost intimidatting yet it is very loveable I would prefer medium size and I have been learning through research pitbulls can get dog aggressive later in life, so I would like a dog like the pitbull but more dog friendly towards our husky
What breeds do you consider good outside dogs then? I just saw a question about someone getting a doberman puppy and wanting it to be an outdoor dog.....Many people said that, that breed is not a good outdoor dog, that it shoud lt should be indoors. Just wondering but what breeds then, are considered 'good outdoor dogs?' I know a lot of people think dogs should be kept indoors 24/7 or supervised while outside, but some breeds/dogs enjoy being outdoors more than others.
Why is cross breeding dogs wrong if many popular breeds are a result of it? Aren't Chow Chows the result of mix breeding Somoyeds and Tibetan Mastiffs? If the breeder breeds dogs with good genes why is unethical/irresponsible? There are thousands of homeless animals in shelters, sure, but if that is why mix breeding is wrong then isn't all breeding wrong? I know people in this section can get angry over small things so this is just a question, okay? I don't actually plan on doing this. I prefer mutts from shelters than purebreds or "designer breeds".
Dog breeds that are friendly with other dogs? Im interested in getting a puppy, i was wondering what specific breeds are friendly with other dogs? Is it more dependant on breed, training, or just specific dog relationships? I want to take my dog out to see other dogs and not have to worry about the possibility of fighting
Why are there more mixed breed dogs in shelters than there are pure breeds? At my local shelter and at petfinder most dogs are mixed breeds and we adopted a mixed breed and she is great but why are they the majority in the shelter.Some pure breeds get abused and go to shelters.Why shelter workers don't want people buying pure breeds from breeders because mixed-breeds get put down.Then why don't they put more purebreds in the shelter?
Why are beagles listed on dog breeds website as suitable 1st time dogs? According to the RSPCA in australia, the Beagle require 4km daily walks and therefore requires experienced owners.

Do dogs take on another breeds characteristics if it grows up with them? I want another dog, it is far off in the horizon yet but I have been looking into different dog breeds and (if my boyfriend would ever let me) I'd love a Chihuahua. Anyway, it got me thinking - we already have a SBT and he has a very big personality so say we did get a Chihuahua from a puppy would it grow up having (some of) the same characteristics and full personality of my Staffy?
What are some stupid breeds of dogs? When I read the description of dog breeds, all of them so far say they are intelligent? Are they all intelligent? or are their some stupid ones?
What are some good breeds of dogs? We live in a trailer park and we don't want a really big dog. We all usually leave around 8-9 am and my brother stays home sometimes because he's 18. My mom comes home around 1-2 pm so it wont be alone really long. But, we want a dog that would be OK with living in a 72-foot long trailer. I am 12 and my brother is 18 so there are no small kids living here. So what are some good small-medium dog breeds?
What dogs breeds tend to be the nicest? I'm going to be living on my own soon, and I think I'd like to get a dog to have for company. Problem is I have no real experience with different dog breeds and how they act and whatnot. I'd like a dog that I will never have any problems with aggression wise. What breeds should I look into? I think I might be more interested in a larger dog... maybe something like a sled dog... are they very nice?
Do you think dogs discriminate against other breeds like humans? Like a dog wouldn't have a puppy with another dog because that dog was of a different breed and it's dog parents wouldn't be accepting of the two different breeds having puppies together because they would corrupt their pure dog blood and not only that but the dog community would look down on them because of this and think they are both self haters of their dog breed.
Can most breeds of dogs be taught non-breed characteristics? My husband and I are looking for a large breed dog. What we've mostly been looking at is a Golden Retriever based soley on temperment; but are exploring our options more towards dogs that we like the appearance more of before we decide. I heard that dogs like Siberian Huskies, Mamalutes, Shibas, Akitas ect naturally dis-like other household pets, like small dogs and cats. If you raise them from a young age around these animals- will they still grow up to not get along with them? We have a Pomeranian and 2 cats.

Can mixed breed dogs be smarter than pure breeds? I've heard today that mixed dogs can be smarter than pure breed dogs (at least in some limits). I thought that this could be some benefit of their genetics but I am not sure. Do you have any answer to this?
Why are breeds of dogs not considered as different species of dogs amidst their wide array of differences? Why are breeds of dogs not considered as different species when all dog breeds have a wide array of differences from each other and from other species of dogs such as wolves, foxes, hyenas, etc. If it is genetic makeup, then what sort of genetic make up separates breeds of dogs from all other specie? How about dog breeds bred with other species like Dingos, surely they'll have different genetic makeup from those that descended from wolves. As a wolf has a different genetic makeup from a Dingo. It follows that a dog bred with a Dingo will have a different genetic makeup from a dog bred with a wolf. If genetic makeup is the basis, wouldn't that lead to specie differentiation.
Any breeds of dogs that are known to be good with other dogs? I know there are a few breeds of dogs that are known to be other dog aggressive so I am wondering if there are any known breeds that are good with other dogs? I know that most of it has to do with socializing & training, but some breeds are just known for certain things. Thanks.
What types/breeds of dogs or cats would be the best option for someone with allergies and asthma? I am currently looking to see if there are any options out there for an allergy and asthma sufferer to own a pet relatively symptom-free. What breeds/types of cats or dogs are the best choice/least problematic? Now that my boyfriend (the one with allergies/asthma) and I are finished with college, we are hoping to find a breed of cat or dog that we can have that won't cause problems for him. Any ideas? Thank you all!

Breeds of dog that are good with kids as in they will stand over the kids and like protect them and stay next to them even when the doorbell rings.

Which breeds of dogs are most compatible with cats? Would a standard poodle or a lab be ok? Because those are my favorite breeds.
Why do different breeds of dogs look so much different? I once heard that many dogs can be physically different due simply to nutritional differences. However, this doesn't really explain dogs of different breeds. So, why do different breeds of dog look so much different from each other? To compare, humans do not have that much diversity.

I like all dogs, and I'm sure most everyone here can agree with that statement, but people have personal preferences and will find some breeds of dogs to be gorgeous and others to be unattractive. What are some breeds of dogs that you can't imagine yourself ever calling beautiful or even cute? Mine are the Bedlington terrier, Pugs, and the Pekingese.
Are the different breeds of dogs an example of divergent evolution or adaptive radiation? I have a few more questions related to the topic question... 1. The different breeds of dogs are different species, right? 2. Is adaptive radiation a type of divergent evolution, or are they different, separate concepts? 3. Are the different breeds of dogs an example of divergent evolution or adaptive radiation? They diverged from one common ancestor (wolf, or wolf-like creature), right? 4. Is there another example of divergent evolution other than the pentadactyl limb or apple maggot example that every textbook seems to use? Thx!
What are all of the breeds of dogs that could be a service dog for anybody with a disability? ? Members of the Armed Forces came home, injured, and they had a program for them. They gave them service dogs to help them. They were interviewing the soldiers and showing them with their new best friends. I was in tears and am again, as I type this! It's such a nice story...I love how smart and lovable dogs could be! I respect and care about our soldiers, I'm really happy they have these dogs for them! I was wondering what breeds of dogs do they use for this particular job?

Do you think dogs know about other breeds? Its weird, my pom just doesn't like labs, especially chocolate ones. He tugs at the lead and bark at all labs. I thought it may be just the size, but we have passed alot of other dogs roughly the same size and he doesnt react. Its like an Italian Greyground that went to puppy classes, it just tried to attack any dog with black fur. I thought dogs were color blind, and of course don't know breeds of dogs, but why do some dogs dislike some certain dogs?
What is the quietest dog of the toy breeds (small dogs)? I am getting a new puppy soon and I'm torn between a few different breeds. I want a dog under 10 lbs that is relatively quiet (not a big yapper). I know it's hard to find in a toy breeds. Give me some ideas on some great dogs that would do ideally in an apartment, by themself while I'm at work for a few hours and will not bother the neighbors with loud barking constantly while I'm away.
What breeds of dogs look like a red fox? My friend and I were driving late at night in a rural but populated area, and we saw an animal that we weren't sure if it was a dog or a fox.So we were wondering, if it was a dog, what breed could it possibly be?Btw, both grey and red foxes are native to our area. It just seem a bit tall for a fox, and we got a very good look at it,that's why we were wondering.It definately wasn't a coyote,though.Even though I know coyotes can be found in New England, I'd know a coyote if I saw one.I'm a native southwesterner and have seen many a coyote in my time! lol.
Anyone know someone in Florida that breeds dogs? Anything other than sporting breeds or the kind that are likely to kill a relatively small girl when in play. I am willing to travel to the bordering states, and fluffy dogs are preffered. Thank you. I would love to go get a puppy from a shelter, but it seems that the only dogs having babies in the area are pits and bull dogs and the other notoriously violent breeds, and chances are if they're at the shelter they're from not so great bloodlines even if they're pure. As for getting a dog, we actually do have a male mutt we got from the humane society in Hawaii, but I want a PUPPY, because I've never gotten to watch a dog grow up, and I want that. It's not the purebred status or papers I want, it's the promise of personality and experience I'm after. And I've been to the local shelters, and the selection around here sucks because everybody's a redneck or badass and wants a dog that's either useful *hunting dogs* or deadly. Also I did go visit the AKC site and have e-mailed a few breeders with high hopes that it will bear fruit. Wish the mandy luck ^_^
What breeds of dogs get along best with cats? We had a collie, he was great with the cat but he died out of old age(13), so now we are thinking about getting another dog, maybe of a smaller, different breed.

How many different breeds of dogs have you owned? Me? Just 2. But I want to experience different breed in the future! It's hard to settle on which breed I want, so why stick with just one? How many of the same breed of dogs have you have? Like 3 chihuahuas? Also, have you had all boys or all girls? I've only had girls, but they were all adopted. I have nothing wrong with males, but I've just never had one! Wow, Angel, you sound like my family!

My Rottweiler currently is nine years old and altered, she is in good health so far, thank the heavens!
Do people on here understand that if dogs stop being bred breeds will become extinct? Many of you attack people for asking questions about breeding or asking questions about buying a puppy and you say that they should adopt instead. But do you ever stop to think that if dogs stop getting bred and everyone spays and neuters their pets, breeds would actually become extinct? Can you answer my question please? Angel, that is so true and I am wholeheartedly against bad breeding and puppymills, but many people here lash out without thinking.
Can anybody tell me any breeds of dogs, and what should I name my puppy? I need to do a research for a report on 20 different breeds of dogs. So can anybody tell me any types of dogs that they know of. If at least 15 people tell me 2 breeds of dogs, then it would be good. Also I am looking for a good name for my puppy. I will be getting one soon, and I know I should wait to see his/her personality but I still should think of any good names. Any names will do me good, but I dont know what breed or gender it will be. Thank you for you time.
What other breeds of dogs did Michael Vick have? I watched the show on Animal Planet last night about the investigation and the dogs, but it said that there were (I think) about 53 APBT's and about 10 other dogs. Does anyone know what breed they were?
Is there a list of all breeds of dogs WITH pictures? I just went to the AKC website, but there was just a list, and I really would rather just have a list with pictures, and not have to click each individual breed to see it. I'm getting a dog soon, however I don't really know which one I want. I'm considering a puggle, which I know is not a nationally recognized dog. I'm also considering a pomeranian, or a miniature pinscher. But I'm looking for a list with pictures of dogs, so I can first broaden my search, and then narrow it down as I research each dog, and find which is best for me. Thanks! Also, please don't answer if you're just going to tell me to go to a shelter and rescue a dog. Thanks!
Which breeds of dogs would be recommended for a first-time dog owner? I would like to own a dog one day. However, I don't know which breeds would be suitable for a person who has never owned a dog, not to mention a person who lived with a mild phobia of said animal when they were young (I've been slowly getting over my fear of dogs for the past two years now).
I have a question about three different breeds of dogs? I have a question about three different breeds of dogs; Shiloh Shepherd, King Shepherd, German Shepherd.

Status/Image breeds, dogs in the wrong hands, how to prevent this? Should dog owners be legally compelled to carry a dog license stating that the dog had been trained or is in training and registered at a club, to a standard like the Good Citizen Gold? Subject to random checks/fines for not complying. Should first time dog owners be restricted in the breeds they are allowed to own? ~ I don't live in the USA! ~
Why do people have such a negative attitude toward hybrid dogs and mixed breeds? All breeds were created by people via selective breeding of different dogs. What is the difference? Unstopp...(cant read the last of your name and dont care to). What are you basing this on? The poodle varities (goldendoodle, pugle, etc) are usually very carefully mated to produce a dog close the non-poodle variety, but with poodle style hair for allergies. How does that differ from the creation of the Mini Pinscher and the French Bulldog? Unstop again: It sounds like youre speaking of the American Labradoodle which has about a 50/50 chance of having poodle type hair. From there you would breed the ones with that characteristic to produce more (eventually getting something like the Australian Labradoodle which rarely sheds at all, and when it does only small amounts). Just like how your breeds were created! You cant expect it to happen overnight just like it didnt with purebreeds.
What dogs shed the least and are good, calm house dogs? Which breeds live the longest? I am interested in getting a dog. I live in the country so there is little traffic.
