Almost any poodle mix is what you should do. No worries about allergies, don't usually shed, and gets the intelligence of the poodle. Plus they say with hybrid vigor they're usually healthier than full breeds.

Absolutely, they actually go psychotic if they're not put to their real use - incessant pacing and might start nipping people too.
Many working breeds develop issues if they're not used properly.
I would rather jump from a moving tractor trailer at hwy speed in to a moat of alligators and whiny liberals than own a poodle or anything that ressembles one
Im serious
That mouth... Ohhhh that fuckin mouth on them. Wont ever shut the fuck up!!!
That's all in the owner / trainer.
American Bulldog. Pits are great family dogs if brought up correctly but I've had Am bulls for years. They're extremely loyal and protective of the home and family, even though they are large they are gentle with small kids. They are high energy for the first couple of years but chill as they get older. I'm not talking about the short legged bullies, but the original Am bulls which will run from 80 up to 140 pounds. The one I have now is best friends with my 2 cats and they all sleep together.

Does anybody got any advice on searching for reputable breeder? I Wanna try and prevent from having problems with a dog, so what ever I can do to help insure the quality of one, I’m all for it.
For purebreds any reputable breeder will be happy to give references and results of pretty much any number of breed-specific genetic defect testing for the line.
You will end up paying absolutely top-dollar for that level of assurance though.
A few years back we looked into getting a pure breed rotty. Looking around 4k for a top tier dog
Was the same for us looking for Mastiff's (the large breed rescue orgs are well meaning idjits here) and instead opted for a crazed half-Amerind/German guy who bred them as a security force for his home jewelry business.
His place always had roughly fifteen 150-200 pound dogs living outside.

Damn, now that's a pack!
Crazy, right? Too much but people pay it. We didn't pay it. Adopted a dog from down south instead
A dog is in no way worth 4 freakin K man
I agree personally, I like local adoption etc is a much better value but...
Value is always subjective, most people paying than much either intend to show ro simply have enough disposable income that it isn't a consideration.
There is no way that 90% of the people buying Dodge 3500's with trim so pretty you would never dare load even a sofa into the thing get $55-75k of intrinsic value out of that either, but it sure doesn't stop people from buying them.
Valuation is a wacky thing, because people are wacky things.
Even depends on the timing of the expense... People will gladly pay far more for a thing when it is automatically deducted from their paycheck for example than they would if they have to pay in cash at the point of service delivery (see health insurance vice co-pay).
"$300/month for insurance. Ok fine..."
"$50 co-pay! Fucking bullshit!"
It is why the majority of people love no-deductible insurance even though it is literally the worst financial decision they could make for insurance.

And ppl LOVE being seen in new shit they cant possibly afford logically
That simple
Idk if dogs can be put in to payments, lol. But it wouldnt suprise me one bit to see ppl go in to debt for a dog. The vast majority are in debt to their eye ballz for stupid shit

I’m not willing to go near 4K I will difently not get top tier, that’s crazy my dog be middle class like me
I have seen financing for purebred dogs... Crazy lucrative for breeders who can afford to finance pups.
I didn't really intend to ramble on about value in a dog thread, today was the last day of a 4 week nootropic run. I get pretty spergy (well MORE spergy anyway) at the end of those.
How much to feed that behemoth? And what do you feed him/her?
So we stayed with a BARF (Bones And Raw Food) diet for all but 3 months of her life.
Mastiff's are fully capable of dealing with raw bones (large males can crack and devour an entire cow femur in a day) and meat without any other nutritional supplementation, so we stuck with frozen chicken.
Chicken legs, usually 4-6 per day in one feed, bone-in, still frozen. Roughly 2 quick chomps per each leg was all it took. Like watching a very ugly yellow-furred child eating a series of gross popsicles.
For "special occasions" I would just put an entire frozen chicken on the patio and watch her eat the whole thing in around 20 minutes.
Cost stayed at around $2.00-4.00 a day depending on corn prices.
The upside of BARF is that dog shit volume comes mainly from the fillers in commercial dog food, so on BARF my 145 pound dog (that is petite for an English) had craps that looked like most poodle shits and dissolved in sun or rain almost immediately.
Their teeth also don't plaque up with also keeps their breath smelling "better".
The 3 months we had her on commercial food I needed a fucking snow shovel to move the giant piles of shit out of the lawn. Never again.
Lol, Why not cook it man? Prolly like it better?
