Spaniels are over rated.

Real dogs like Border Collies and Blue Heelers are real dogs.
Treein' Walkers.

Of course, it's hard to go wrong with a good black and tan, too.

A few nights in the woods with a half dozen of these chasing 'coons will
convince you.
JohnH,

I am sure if you want a dog to chase coons and enjoy spending nights in
the woods with them, that is a great dog. But for a great family dog
who loves to go boating, swimming, walking/running through the woods,
and just herding up the neighborhood kids, nothing beats an:

Australian Sheepdog
http://www.nextdaypets.com/directory...479/10408.aspx

a Border Collie
http://darwin.nmsu.edu/~molbio/dog/images/02632.jpg

or a Shetland Sheepdog.

Smartest, most attentive dogs you can adopt.

Well sure, but none of them are worth a crap at 'coon huntin'!

Besides, I've already got one of those 'great family dogs'.

Isn't that the dog you said was as dumb as a door knob?

from a breader: Beardies are known as the "Clowns of the dog world" and
there is good reason.

from the Beardies FAQ:

A Beardie is a winsome, funny, loving, sometimes silly, sometimes
pouty, adorable, curious, persistent creature, in short, close to
human. As puppies, they're much like two-year-old children. They try
out their independence, test their "parents," and are so cute they're
difficult to correct. This is the time good parents must force down
the chuckle, give firm, but gentle discipline and then go in the
other room to laugh til they cry.

A great deal of intelligence is not a requirement for great family dogs.

Yes, I may have made a disparaging comment about this dog's intelligence,
but ... it was true.

As a kid, it was a way to earn money. We would sell the skins for $1.50
each.

This dog spent her first couple years with my mom. When my mom died, two
months after moving from Seattle to live with me, I inherited the dog. I
think it never got past the 'two-year-old child' stage.

The above is a good description of the dog's attitude!
