Maybe a transition from a juvenile coat to an adult coat?

Maybe a transition from a juvenile coat to an adult coat?
Jeb, do you own land? That's a big factor here.
Though they do not live long (similar to a Great Dane), these are AWESOME dogs.
Irish Wolfhound (the guy is 6'1"):
Getting a helathy one might a be a challenge, they're prone to several serious defects, probably originally stemming from their enormous size, exacerbated (as most pure-breds are) from poor breeding.

I have a Mountain View Cur. Great dog with kids. Very protective. Very smart. His bark sounds mean but he will curl up on the couch with my girlfriend and will deal with kids hanging on him. They are used to hunt mountain lions, racoons, etc... They do shed a lot for a short haired dog and he will climb trees.
Interesting. We rescued a golden and had him for 5 years. He was the sweetest dog ever, right up until he bit my three year old. Barely nicked him, and the kid did fall onto him while he was sleeping, so we let it go, but watched the interaction between them closely. We figured it was a warning snap, as he was sleeping and it was a natural response.
Then 6 months later he bit him again in the face, barely nicked him- unprovoked. That was enough. Neither time did he turn on him, or really hurt him, but the dog was just not tolerant of a child.
I just wished we had done it the first time. Odd, as I grew up with one and that dog was amazing.
Interesting. I assume you know the lineage and it isn't just a best guess...(and if it is a guess, I don't disagree, though Occam's Razor would steer us towards other breeds in the mix...).
The short coat sure did turn out dominant... Is there any trace of an undercoat? The darkness of the coat does suggest other genetics are in there...

jesus, it is always something with you...
"occam's razor"... ??? wtf.
a malamute fxxxed a ridgeback, or vice versa... case closed.
Occam's razor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rescue groups are notorious for incorrectly guessing what is in a mutt and saying that they are a mix of uncommon breeds. Based on sheer statistics, they are usually wrong. That's all...
A Rhodesian/malamute mix would not be likely if a random mutt, as neither breed is common.
Mine did that for about 4 months but only when the kids were running around the yard. Once you told him to stop, he would.
If you decide on a German Shepherd make sure you upgrade your homeowners insurance.
How are you going to take care of this dog if you are always running off to different countries cutting your hand and sampling the natives?
Eat a full sack of dicks, Scott.
Really? Ask the guy whose dog is now healthy after I diagnosed it as hypothyroid, from one short PM.
