[QUOTE="CCRanch, post: 392835, member: 1913"] "Your topic title suggests to me that you haven't done your research properly. What are you looking for in a dog? Is the dog going to be a working dog, are you capable of training him/her, or is he/she intended to be a companion and friend? What is their environment going to be - part of the family and allowed indoors or kept in a kennel/pen with sporadic human interaction?

I asked for an opinion, not a lecture, but from the looks of most of your posts, that's all you give. [/QUOTE]
