Oh, hi, mouse.

+1 for the Dresden Files reference.

Has anyone suggested a Blue Heeler (Australian Cattle Dog) or Australian Shepherd? My pup Jethro is (we're pretty sure) a Texas Heeler, which is a cross between the two. I hear that both Heelers and Cattle Dogs are intelligent and if Jethro is typical of Texas Heelers then I cant recommend them enough.

We have it narrowed down to a St. Bernard, Newfoundland, and Bernese mountain dog. Unless we can fall bass akwards into a mutt before spring. Thanks everyone!

Knowing rookie, that would've popped up in the Cutie Thread or a new topic...unless the pup is such a big handful he's too frazzled to do it?

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

No, don't have the money right now. It'll be one of the 3 I listed earlier come April. But we're still keeping our eyes own for a mutt on Craigslist.

Newfoundland.  Because unless your would-be assailant knows the breed and realises they're soft-as-shit, the size alone is terrifying.

And they make an excellent alternative to central heating in winter.

I don't remember if someone has said this before, but I'd recommend Petfinder if you're unable to find a dog you want in a shelter. There are many breed-specific rescues on there, so it's a good place to check before heading straight to a breeder.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Newfs rock. They will squash the kids though... but I guess it was our fault for trying to ride on him.

I know it's not in the running but B&T Coonhounds would probably be a decent, albeit high energy choice.  Friendly and fearless with the added bonus of being able to to tell the officers to just follow the sound of baying to locate the would-be mugger.

With this promotion I really don't have the time to give a dog. I wouldn't be able to keep him exercised. So for the sake of everyone involved, maybe another time.
