Any Pet Lovers? Torn Between Two Dog Breeds

I'm moving from my apartment into my first home next month. It has a large fenced in backyard & is secluded with plenty of open field, woods, & a creek. Much more pet friendly than a 2 bedroom apartment, especially with my 4x4 12hr work schedule.

I was wondering if anybody has a Rhodesian Ridgeback? I've always been intrigued by them. Numerous vets & breeders have told me they are the Navy Seals of dog breeds. My chocolate lab "Cocoa" passed away 2 weeks ago. She was 17 years old & I had her since she was a puppy when I was in 1st grade. She was an amazing dog but I don't really want another lab. Everybody & their mother has one. I'm torn between the Rhodesian Ridgeback & a Dobermann Pinscher. I had a dobie 3 years ago, but he had a heart defect & died as a puppy.

The dobermann is my favorite breed but with my work schedule it is hard to care for a puppy. Especially a dobie since you not only have to train them but care for their ears while they heal. That's why I was thinking of a RR, then maybe get a dobie in 2-3 years when my work schedule allows. But I have never actually seen one or met anyone that had one. They are both very active breeds & I'm an active guy & spend a lot of time outdoors. Also, my pets live indoors.

Also, since someone always brings it up I do not want a Pit Bull.

I can not recommend a Boxer highly enough. They are the worlds best dogs as far as I'm concerned.

I agree they're great dogs, my friend had one when we were little. Any dog breed raised right will make an awesome pet. I don't care for most small dogs, though. Dogs poo all over humans when it comes to friendship. They are loving, loyal, & always right there.

Ridgeback is the breed I'm considering next. My dog used to play with one at the dog park, he was really cool.

I've done a lot of research & they are an amazing breed. Extremely muscular & physical breed. They can take extreme weather, go without water, run forever, & are immune to flea & tick bites due to their tough skin. Plus they are a pretty rare breed.

I love dobermans but I'm leaning towards the RR.

Small dogs are the way to go. Never need a pet sitter because you can take them anywhere you go and less destruction as a puppy. But some men think they need a 100 pound shitting beast to prove their manhood.

define "small dog."

I love Eskies, which are a medium-to-small breed, but I generally do not like toy sized dogs for aesthetic reasons. I don't think I need to "prove my manhood," but I kinda feel weird having a dog that is the size of a small cat for some reason.

Small dogs are annoying as fug. They bark all the time, bite feet, & are in general less friendly than larger breeds.

Also, nobody said anything about a 100# dog? Dobermans are a medium breed & weigh 50-55#. Ridgebacks are slightly larger.

OK. All dogs bite feet when they are puppies. Dogs are like people, some are assholes and some aren't. You just have to find the right one.

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
