here we have tons of pit bulls, and hound mixes also after the movie Marley and me so many people went out and got labs that they ended up in shelters after the "puppy" newness wore off. my hound mix i found while horse back riding she was in a box her litter mates had got out and had been hit by cars she was to small thank God. My bloodhound you dont see as pets that often but i did purchase her from a very good breeder i had wanted to work with her on search and rescue but my father has cancer and that is taking a bit of my time. Sorry this reply is so long. But i agree check out the rescues and the shelters first you can find some really great dogs there. Dont leave out the breed rescues also if you have a breed you really like.
Overlooked breeds.
I'm currently looking possibly to get a second dog, I've considered all personal aspects of this, like i would be prepared to enroll in training/obedience classes if needed, i have studied whether my home would be suitable for a second dog, with enough space for both dogs to play, and yet have their own space. I'm happy with the outcome of these studies but...
What I was really wondering is, does anyone know of any breeds that are bred, but are often overlooked due to size/looks/temperament. I feel that there are enough families and people looking for good looking calm dogs, and it's time i offered my home to an under appreciated breed.
Does anyone know of any breeds like this?
