Dog?

Get a dog if you're willing to spend LOTS of time with it. Don't get a dog because you like the idea of having a tough looking animal around. The guys next door in the rental house have a pit-looking type of dog that barks all the time. They're never home - always out doing something that doesn't involve the dog. I doubt the dog ever leaves the property. Pretty sad really. Good luck. BTW I'm a big fan of Mals - Malamutes that is. But Malamutes don't seem to fit you're criteria, too friendly, too social, lots of hair.
 
Don't get a husky! The don't fit any of your criteria. They will watch someone break into your house and steal your stuff, they will run away, and they are very hairy....I love my husky, but it would definitely not be the dog for you.

Belgian Malinois are really pretty dogs. And smart as hell! They take a lot of time and need a lot of stimulation and entertainment or they can be REALLY naughty, but they are great dogs if they get what they need. And they are very protective, good watchdogs.

I love dogs! Congratulations on deciding to get a pup! :cheers:
 
Chesapeake Bay Retriever....


Big enough to intimidate (if that's your thing), good "outdoorsy" dog, and they can be pretty protective (males anyway).

So you've posted up questions here about:

- getting a glock
- getting steel-toed boots
- getting a chick
- getting a killer dog

(prolly a few others I missed)

I hope you're taking your medications.

I'd recommend not getting a dog.

If you insist on a dog - skip the "rip the face off" part. That is for cops and loser drug dealers and wannabes. You don't need that crap. Seriously. WTF do you need a dog that will hurt people for?

Good point. I got a Rott when I was your age and single. He was an awesome dog - like what you are saying you want. BUT - it gets old having to constantly be worried about your dog killing someone else's dog or biting them. Fast forward a few years when you have a wife and kids. She'll hate the dog, and be worried about the kids, etc.

Do not go out and get an aggressive dog on a whim.

I loved that dog, but it is really nice not having to worry about losing everything I own because my dog bit somebody.
 
My friend got a Boerboel a few years back. That thing is a beast, and here is the wiki linky. If you got one in the brindle color, people would think it was a giant pit bull. Alexander the great used this type of dog as a soldier in his army.

My parents rescued a brindle plott hound, and everyone swears it is a pit.

I have a Chessie and can vouch for this. Labrador demeanor with the family and familiar dogs. Loves to get out and run and be with the family. Smart dogs. Aggressive as hell about strangers and strange dogs. I have to be careful because with my labs, they will bark, but not bite. I forgot about the Chessie and told the UPS driver one day it would be OK for him to get off the truck with them around. He nearly got bit when he handed me my package.:whoops:

I'm thinking about getting a dog for myself, now that I live on my own (starting as a puppy) and am having trouble deciding on what breed...

Literally all my life my family has had a German Shepherd, and I am pretty good with handling/training dogs etc, and know what their needs are and how to fulfill them.

The problem is, I can't decide on what breed to get [if I get one]

The requirements are such:

Needs to be a good guard dog, I want one that will rip the face off of an intruder, not just bark and make noise.

Needs to be a good bush dog. She will be my companion out in the Idaho wilderness (desert and mountainous).

Preferably short hair, but we'll see.

So what do you guys think? I was thinking maybe a Rottie but are they good enough bush dogs?

I'd 2nd the recommendation on not getting a dog. I'm worried about you wanting a dog that would "rip someone's face off." That statement alone makes me think that you are not ready for a large aggressive dog. A dog should not attack anyone unless commanded by it's owner. A guard dog is supposed to warn you of an intruder by barking, no by ripping the intruder's face off unprovoked. What if your gf, aunt, uncle, mom or dad came over one day when you weren't home and your dog decided to rip their face off. You'd feel like a piece of s*** wouldn't you? And the dog would be put down. If it was someone you didn't know, like the cable guy, you'd probably be sued for everything you own.

Also it seems that some states are now trying to make one criminally liable if their dog attacks someone.

Standard Poodle.
They were used as patrol dogs by the US Army in WWII and Viet Nam, they are still used by many police agencies around the world, they are as fierce as any dog you will ever meet. By some weird twist they are now considered pussy dogs.
They are great outdoors I've seen them sleep with a 2" coat of hoar frost and run all day over all kinds of terrain.
They are hypo allergenic, they don't shed. They do require grooming on a regular basis.
They are great in small places. We leave ours alone for 10 to 14 hours inside on a regular basis. No messes, nothing destroyed.

Not as Mocho as a Rottie, but Chicks love them. If you want you guy friends to admire you get the Rottie, if you want chicks, get the Standard. I'm just saying.....

x2. Awesome dogs--they come in darker colors too, no need to get a white one. Very Very smart.
 
Boxer.

Intimidating
75-80 lbs
Mine loves the woods
Short hair

Mine farts and shiz's a bunch though--if he is around when you have a lady over and you let slip with the gas face you can blame it on the dog.
 
And adopt the dog--forgot that part. It is the most important.
