A mixed border collie-wolf is a great combo. The one I had is tied with Tippy for the best dog which owned me. Tippy was a dingo.
my friend Johns dog is a dingo(also named TIPPY as you know Jemian) & very loyal, kind & bonded. He says it is his best dog ever also. He now also has a golden which is a wonderful pet
My 3 dogs in my life have been good pets but I am not an expert enough to know what people would like. My german shepherd now is wonderful & Oliver was half shep & half retriever.
In earlier times I was afraid of german sheps but my two have been gentle & kind. Josy is very powerful & could go thru my arm I am sure. I wont make her mad! she has me well trained.
I think the biggest thing to keep in mind is the time you are willing to devote to a dog. A large herding dog, retriever etc NEED to have lots of outdoor activity & running. The will not be as good indoors with you otherwise. I am sure my three dogs were dumped because they were “bad” - no , not really, but just being the norm for thier breeds - lots of energy & need to GO, go, go. When they have their workouts they are wonderful, settled down pets.
but this type of dog will use us it’s nervous enegry tearing around the home or chewing up things if not exercised.
Just my two cents Rav.
BTW, what was the tag line that Jem referred to: (Freep mail me?) I am SO nosy.
Molly good of you to continue the ping list. Keeping it on your page is good.
Maybe chair could have a one line in his opening ping or on thread each day asking folks to contact you to be added or deleted from list.
