    Make your pitch for best dog breed

    I'm not ready just yet to get another dog as it's only been a week since we had to put our Aussie mix pound rescue down after 14 years with her.

    I want to put some thought into our choice this time, so...
    With so many options, sell me on why you prefer your chosen breed.

    FYI
    I'd like a dog that will travel well
    isn't aggressive
    isn't gun shy
    Prefer a medium or slightly bigger sized dog
    Not planning to train it for a particular job but it would a bonus if it could fetch up downed dove.

    I'm sure I'll think of some other requirements as this goes on.

    Heelers are awesome dogs.

        There’s going to be a whole lot of not wrong answers because several breeds fit that part above but to me, that almost screams Lab.

            Most any rescue mutt should work for you

                Great Pyrenees is the best dog breed, but for what you described, I’d look at a Vizsla.

                  Not planning on ever having another dog but if I did and not for hunting it would be a Healer or Border Collie.

                    I’ve seen some border collies fetch birds pretty well…

                        Curb Setter rescues are the best

                          This. Family dog, cow dog, hog dog, tracking dog. Any dog can be gun shy. Got to get them used to loud noises early.

                            Give me a mutt. Preferably without any Chihuahua or Pit Bull Terrier blood. A Golden/Lab cross makes an excellent family dog. Will hunt, retrieve, shake water all over you, and generally steal your heart.

                              OP, with that list, labs will be supreme. Add that a lab is great with grandkids.
