    I have 2 lab mixes I got from the humane society a year and a half ago, great dogs. The girl is a lab and border collie mix, very very sweet with people/kids/cats/dogs. She figured out how to use the bathroom outside very fast when shes laying around you can move em,hug em, play with them, etc. They are sweet, playful, and loyal dogs. Big though, my girl is around 85 lbs. The guy is good as well but not as nice, more cautious. He is beagle and lab mix. Still a good dog but not as trusting with everything.

    Good luck to you with whatever you end up choosing.

      You notice other peoples dogs smell and get used to your own one so don't notice as much. Also some dogs seem to love swimming in nasty water where others won't go in water at all.

      Short fur is less messy BUT the dog will get cold and miserable in the winter.

        Over here you can ;)

        Having said that, I live in Holland. In 23 years of my life I've never heard of anyone who keeps their dog outside in the yard over here. I believe that in general a lot of dogs live outside in the garden in the US, which is great, but over here they spend their time indoors since it rains 95% of the time in this god damned shit hole.

        Man, I even forgot about mixed breeds, the list just got 15 times longer.

          Jack Russels are great - but I dont think that they are for this guy.

          Red Setters are amazing as well....

              Rhodesian Ridgeback really looks awesome. Already found some places to get them.

                I see you are interested in the ridgeback, here is a vid from a good show on animal planet. This episode explains a little about the breed.

                  A typical day consists of chewing something he's been told 100x not to or barking for zero reason. It's hard to explain, but he's just off with the pace of life. Like one time I was playing with my little terrier on the ground and his big dumb ass got so excited he ran around the couch and clocked me in the jaw dislocating it.

                  I was home alone and freaked out because my jaw would not go back in place. So I get my keys to rush to the hospital, he thinks it's park time, jumps up hitting my hand flipping my keys right into his water bowl.

                  The keys won't turn the truck alarm off because they're wet, so I had to sit and wait for my wife to drive an hour away to take me to the hospital as he's jumping up and down thinking it's park time.

                  Shit like this happens so much in my house we call it getting Homer-ed

                      Wow, really sounds perfect to me. Honestly.. The more I look at them the cooler I think they are. Plus the fact they are ODORLESS is a jackpot ;)

                      Remember I said I want a dog that's just badass? Well, a dog to chase down lions pretty much lives up to that

                        In my opinion, the smaller the dog, the less the smell. I have a jack russel/whippet mix....she is batshit crazy and totally worth it!

                            Golden Retriever

                            One of the best decisions I ever made for my family.

                            The temperament is friendly, doesn't bark and sleeps all the time.

                            My retriever gets my TV remote, my slippers and picks up various other objects on the floor without damaging them. My retriever also retrieves beer from my wife when she is downstairs.

                            Retrievers just want to please all the time.

                              they smell after what you feed them. Good food, no smell.

                                you say you want a dog and then you say your going to travel the world

                                you either plan on never staying indoors anywhere or the idea is selfish and short sighted

                                edit and like grumpy says how the dog smells is directly related to what you feed them
