How about Clumber Spaniels or Bassett Hounds?

Drool and heavy vet expenses because of allergies and skin problems but both
sweet breeds...

Both are fairly sedentary
breeds, no?

true....lumbering oafy dogs...but cute

Some people in our subdivision have a PBGV (Petit Bassett Griffon
Vendean--spelling may be wrong) and it has to be the calmest dog I've ever
seen. Sits, comes when called, heels beautifully, and doesn't get his
hackles up when our poodle challenges it to play. Know anything about 'em?

Yep...the leading breeder in Michigan lives right behind us...they have
PBGV's and afghan hounds....the PBGV's are really cute but REALLY
expensive...REALLY as in a pet quality puppy is over 1K.....

apologies for not getting back to your post
swamped with work

I understand the point about labs/retrievers
also understand the need to match the breed with a "lifestyle" so to speak.
akitas seem too demanding a breed and perhaps too agressive.

which brings me to the current possiblities:
sheperd is still on the list.
shetland is one i had not thought of.
and terriers are what my daughter is leaning towards, i don't know enough
yet to say either way.

--starting to get the picture of what to think about.

still the question if i can spare the time is primary and will not pursue
anything until i can answer this
work is in a state of transition and may make the reality of this more
attainable

your knowledge and insight is appreciated
thanks

gf.

None of these, if you get a puppy...labs and retrievers need two years to
wind down and if there is going to be a lack of attention 50% of the time,
then they're out...the other three are not for people with limited dog
experience...they are smart breeds and if left to their own devise, become
assertive and dominant and you'll have problems. Corgis, Shetland
sheepdog,
some of the larger terrier breeds (not a Jack Russell, too labor intense)
would be better. They incorporate protectiveness and watchfulness with
loyalty and enough smarts to get by and be good pets. BTW, Akitas are
generally one-person dogs....and are quite a handful...any type of
domesticated wolf is a major problem...

is a good offense.

You mean the best defense is a lie? Why am I not surprised.

Irish Wolfhound???? :-)

Maintaining a Watch on Channel 16
All vessels must guard, maintain a watch on, and listen to Channel 16.


Channel 16 is a calling and emergency channel. DO NOT HAVE
CONVERSATIONS ON THIS CHANNEL. The only exception is the Coast Guard
when working a MAYDAY.

Channel 16 is very busy, so don't use it unless there is an emergency.
ALWAYS listen before you key your microphone. After you are sure
you're not going to "step" on anyone, you can make your call. Do not
blow into the mic., just make your call. Your initial call to a boat
cannot exceed 30 seconds.

Ouch. I know our neighbors paid about that for this dog, and they claim it
isn't a show-quality animal. What the hell, it's really a super dog. I
love it and would love to have one, but I'd rather have a new color graphic
GPS more.

So Horvath...what good would being on Channel 16 have done him? The
commercial traffic channel is 13...or maybe you think the CG was out there
with super cameras reporting freighter positions?
