Irish Wolfhound...yes they are that big, no these pics are not photoshopped.

I also like Irish Setters...gee, wonder why

Criminy, I saw my first 'in person' one of these in petsmart Sunday...that was a BIG dog

Neopolitan Mastiff?

I thought Neo's were specifically meant for the AKC shows.....

Is he a show dog? Or just a nice looking pet?

He's a pet, but show quality (which means he cost alot). The Neapolitan breed just got accepted into the AKC this year. They've been in the US since the early 80s and in Italy since the Roman Empire. My boy is very friendly, though a great guard dog as well. Hell, just his looks scare most people away. Kids love him.

I guess I would have to say Labrador Retrievers as I just got a new Black Lab puppy. Here are some pics. He is ten weeks old here, but he just turned 11 weeks old today. His name is Buddy. He is awesome. I also love Staffordshire Bull Terriers.

Wow! Those are incredible dogs. I have never seen one in person, but I have read alot about them. How much does your dog weigh? I have read that they are very powerful animals. They originated in South Africa did'nt they?

Basset Hounds. They are great dogs with a great disposition who sound like a dog 3x their size when they bark.

ditto. Have 3 and if our regular mailman is off, we don't get mail. UPS and FedEx won't venture into the yard either.

I prefer mutts but if I had to pick specific breeds I would go with Border Collies & Black Labs.

A little known breed from South Africa..... BOER BOEL

They are very similiar to a Mastiff. They are bred to protect livestock and children. Supposedly, three adults can take down an adult Lion

I'm kind of a mutt guy... I prefer to call them "American Dogs"

For breeds, though, I like a beagle or a german short hair pointer.

When our Jack was younger he would play fetch with a rope just like that. I would tie it to a rope
out of a tree and he would jump, grab and swing all afternoon if you could put up with it

I'll see
if I can dig up a pic or two and come back and edit this post and post them.

Here is the only good one I have here at work.

Here is another one from last Xmas when we had 12" of snow. I will probably never live to see
another white Xmas here in south Texas. The dark spot on his front shoulder is from and accident he had with a tiller he hit doing 60mph. Pretty well skinned his shoulder out, took a bunch of stitches, but he healed up O.K. It took me quite a while to figure out what he had ran into or how it
happened as it happened while we were at work. At first I thought that maybe he had got hung up and cut trying to get out of the fence. He has chewed two complete boards off the bottom of the gate before. I now have it reenforced with 2 X 6's to make it Jack proof

I later found hair on one of the tiller blades is how I found out what he had hit

I had put the tiller in the back yard a
couple of days before to work on it and it was out of the way. I'll never leave anything that a
60mph Jack can run into again.

The fur all grew back and there is no apparant scar even

Shorthair Miniature Dachsunds.

My family has had three of them, and all of them have been terrific dogs.

My favorite is a Shiba Inu. It is a minature Akita, also from Japan. They only get about 18 pounds and I think are a good choice for indoors.

That Boxer sure looks like it has a LOT of Bulldog in it! Nice looking dog. I'll try to add a pic of my hound when I get to my other computer. She looks surprisingly similar to your daughters Boxer.
