Deciding on dog breed

i'd recommend a shar pei for anyone who likes calmed, intelligent and loyal dogs. they can be a bit stubborn too so they need more attention than your everydog. if they are trained, loved and well brought up, you can't go wrong with them.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Really looking into Rhodesian Ridgebacks right now. Loving them more and more. Awesome dogs!

My gf obviously wants a fluffy cute dog, but I'll have to respectfully throw that suggestion in the trashcan.

Gonna think this through long and hard and read up on dog training as much as I can. I never want to underestimate the time and effort I'll have to spend on the dog. Will post pics ofcourse if we decide to get one!

By all your replies it sounds like the Rhodesian is the best breed for you. They are awesome dogs, there is one that lives close to us so we see him all the time. He's simply majestic!

I like mutts. Check the dog-pound, sometimes death row doggies are the best pets.

Truth. Save a life and give a sweet dog a chance.

forget about the travelling, many countries don't allow dogs in without quarantine

Yeah, dogs + travel don't mix. Why give yourself the headache? You probably have to go one or the other. Stay home and be there for your dog, or be free and travel.
