Deciding on dog breed

check out the Norwegian Elkhound ...

I said I'm planning on long term world travel and said that having a dog that could come with would be the perfect option. Kind of asking at the same time if there's a breed capable of doing so.

Not a selfish guy and love all animals, would never make a stupid decision like getting a dog and then give it up a year later.

Very, very nice dog aswell!

how about a bullterrier?

Go with the File Brasileiro

Who said weed doesn't have second-hand effects.

.

I would buy a big dog .

if you really want to world travel and take the dog you need something small

under 15 pounds

Forget about buying a dog.

Traveling by car to N. Italy was about the limit.

Go on your world travels first and buy a dog when you return. The obvious setbacks are too numerous. Food, restaurants, shopping, access to places, climate, travel, laws, having to always have the dog with you, hotel accommodation, local people. Italy they loved Rajah. I know in some countries in the Far East they would rather shoot a dog than pat it. You might want to take a boat trip and can't because they don't allow dogs on the boat or a flight in a small plane. Then rabbis is a problem in some countries.

Rabbies

Look, I'm just to tell you that Labrador Retrievers are the best breed. That is all.

Pit bulls all the way. You can pick one up at any shelter, and they will love you and your toddlers. TO DEATh. srsly

Had my mind set on an Akita once but I am not prepared for another member of the family right now.

These Dog 101 videos are pretty awesome! Thanks for posting them.

Here's the dog I had until I had a baby. Seems to fit your needs nicely, if you're an active person. Maybe 2/3 the size of a Ridgeback, very similar colour, fast as shit, very loving, smart, affectionate, playful, everything you'd want in a dog.

Here's the Dog 101 video:

Caveats would be they're not kidding when they say the dog wants to be with you at all times. If you're at your computer, your dog will be underneath your desk. If you get up, he's coming with you. You'll be tripping over him all the time, and using your knees to keep him out of things.. Like if you're going into the fridge, guess what, he's going with you. ;)

They're awesome looking dogs, when they see something they're interested in their ears perk up like triangles and they pause.. as seen here:



I sent my dog to Mexico with my wife's family when I had a baby because I didn't want to take the risk. They'd found him on the highway when he was ~2, he'd already had a broken and healed paw, big scar on his nose, didn't respond to commands.. Pretty positive he was in a hunting pack and got away. Vizsla's are a popular hunting/bird dog. He'd snap if you went for his food the first time, then think twice about it and let you.. He was territorial, etc. Just couldn't trust him with a baby.

When my kid is a bit bigger I'll get another one, this time from a puppy.

Dude if you are going to travel a lot you should get one that's less than 8 KG so you can bring it aboard the plane ;)

You should talk to my gf about this btw, she obsesses over dogs 50% of her time awake lol
