Quote HistoryQuoted: Seppala Siberian Sled dogs. Similar to Siberian Huskies, they were first bred by Leonhard Seppala, the sled dog driver famous for his part in the 1925 serum run to Nome, AK to stop an outbreak of diphtheria. His lead dog, Togo, was the origin of his breed. Always bred as working dogs, not show dogs, there isn't much use for them now. From what I understand, they aren't really ideal for the Iditarod race, and a lot of people just use snow machines. It's a pretty cool connection to a famous time in Alaskan history, but it is dying out. Seppala Kennels Togo is, easily, one of the two or three best animals that's ever lived, full stop. Read The Cruelest Miles some time, makes the recent Disney movie seem extremely tame in comparison. That said, Spitz type sled dogs are generally shitty as pets unless you live on a hundred fenced acres way up North. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There's a lotta heeler in there for 57... Quote HistoryQuoted: We got her free from a cattle farmer. He said she’s a heeler mix. She’s frickin wired tight. She kills any damn thing that comes in our yard. She then brings it to us and drops it at our feet. Squirrels, cats, possums, a coon once(think she learned a lesson on that one  )Other than that she just wants to run and have her belly rubbed. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If I can make a suggestion, find another pup now. He won't replace your Guinness, but it will make the transition much easier (not easy though) when your old fella's time comes. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: In defense of the Cocker Spaniel; mine was the best bird dog I ever saw. He'd point, flush and retrieve upland game birds all day, every day when he was young. Unfortunately, his hunting days are long past him. In his old age, he watches over my son and plays with him as much as he can. Sure, he needs to be groomed once every six weeks, but he's the smartest, bravest little dog I ever met. My remaining time with him is pretty short, and it breaks my heart knowing that. His name is Guinness. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/51455/20190603_190115-1381007.jpg If I can make a suggestion, find another pup now. He won't replace your Guinness, but it will make the transition much easier (not easy though) when your old fella's time comes. This is very,very good advice. We got Kelce as a pup (gsd) a few weeks before our ten yr old golden had to be put down. Having that pup is about all that kept my wife from going down a deeeep rabbit hole of depression. Always have a spare dog. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pure breds in general seem to be declining. Sad, because generations of work go into breeding specific, refined physical and mental capabilities. I'm a breed snob. Each breed exists for a reason. I think a lot of that has to do with the stupid "designer dog" crap started a number of years ago. Lets take 2 breeds, mix them and call them whatever 'cute' name we can think of and charge more than a true purebred. |

Afraid to get into something without knowing much about it. My Golden is awesome.. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: See what I mean?... Frenchies at #4? The Cavalier King Charles at #18? Those are NOT easy dogs to find. Chihuahuas down at #33 and Am-Staffs at #85? Not even close. Golden's are best non GSD dog, and maybe best dog period. I am biased. I love my gsd pup and my wife's schutzhund dogs. But I've said more than once during some ridiculous multidog fracas roiling through the house that we could just have gotten goldens and all be relaxing with a book.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep, the majority of replies in this thread show folks equating breed with registration and appearance rather than how it functions. There is a HUGE difference between the existence of dogs on a registry and the existence of dogs who can perform the functions of that breed. ETA- when large numbers of dogs within a breed cannot perform adequately- the breed is dying. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: A breed can exist, even in large numbers and still be “dying”. Breed is about function as much or more than looks. Both Poodles and Dobermans are good examples. How many Poodles are found in duck blinds? How many Dobermann MWDs or police dogs are there? Even if there are thousands and thousands of “pure bred” Poodles, the breed is dead by any practical measure. Same with Dobermans and no doubt many other breeds. This most breeds are a severely watered down version of what they were originally bred for, most people would be horrified of owning a real Rottweiler, German shepherd. The so called East German ddr types that fucks think are the real deal are soft compared to the original.

Boykin Spaniel. Never thought I’d have a spaniel, but was looking for a duck hunting buddy that was smaller than a lab. Ended up with a Boykin Spaniel. Awesome little dogs. They are still hard to find but becoming more popular as a retriever due to their drive vs size. She is a silly, loving, retrieving machine. I’ve watched her put a couple labs to shame in the field.

Quote HistoryQuoted: We’ve had Cairn Terriers for 30 years, couldn’t imagine life without one. This is Carson, our latest. So much character and courage in a small dog, Carson’s two best friends are a 115 pound Rott and an 85 pound lab. They chase and wrestle constantly and he holds his own, all 20 pounds of him. He also has decided he’s a squirrel dog and will tree them and stay with them tracking them from tree to tree and constantly alerting if he can see them. I plan to take him squirrel hunting this fall. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/67156/5671E402-3274-4DF2-8E28-8B902431CFFA-1050933.jpg For those that love to put down AKC show dogs, his mom was best Cairn at the Westminster dog show last year. He has been absolutely flawless. He potty trained in about three days and works off lead very well, just a great well behaved dog. @RobertL Cool looking dog! Similar to a Scottish terrier?

Quote HistoryQuoted: Pekinese dogs seem to be rare now. I never met one I liked. Someone mentioned a Gordon Setter. The last time I saw one was around 1996. I could have brought that one home, the owners couldn't take it on a move out of state. When I was a kid the annual three day fox hunt out on Elk Creek in northern Wright County Missouri was lots of fun. Carnival, music, square dancing. The fox hounds were shown Saturday evening, followed by a hunt. Folks came from all over, that's where I met String Bean when I was in first or second grade. A friend owns a Tervuren that he competes in tracking meets. That is a neat dog, and he is a dedicated trainer. Here's Winston - https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/348/1573435811079-1156687.jpg He's happy in a new home in KC that SpleenlessDave helped find last year. Good dog, but my daughter has her hands full without him. Pekes are very much their owner's dogs. They know who is and isn't in their family, and they behave differently depending upon who is around. If you're an outsider, they're just another little dog. If they know you as family, they become zany little live action cartoon characters. They're too small for my tastes, and I don't like it when people doll them up all weird, but I understand why some people love the breed. |

English Bulldogs don’t seem very common. So ugly about the only enduring quality is some people feel sorry for them. Pretty sure so deformed they can not give birth unassisted.
Brothers-in-law have had 3 Cockers and a Springer, my uncle had 2 cockers. Not a good dog in the bunch. I think brother-in-laws husky might be an ok dog. Stepson’s girlfriend does have a good springer. |

I haven't seen one in ages, my first dog was a Gordon Setter. I have only known two other people who owned them. Growing up, our neighbors used to breed, train and hunt with them. Jake was the runt of the litter and was going to be killed. When he was just born, he could fit in your shirt pocket. My parents paid $100 for him I think, maybe 1990??? My parents place is on an acre and half is pasture, we grew up with farms and fields behind the "neighborhood". That dog loved to run, pointed like no other, stealing dirty underwear and bit everyone in my family at one point in his life. Extremely protective of our place and family. Loved taking him out back to flush pheasants, and quail. Caught several birds in flight, squirrels, jack rabbits, and was lean, even though he was self-fed and had access to food 24/7. HATED water, rain, etc. Other than the neighbors, I had a boss back in high school who had one. I love watching a good bird dog hunt upland game. Damn dog had a track/path around the perimeter of our property and would sprint laps. I hated brushing him out, luckily his feathers weren't too long.
We're on our 3rd Lab, having put down our black lab 12/23/2018. My avatar and our current dog turns 10 in August, so we know she's in her senior years. We are a Lab family and have been looking for another black female, but prefer the American versus English lab, as my last came from good hunting lines and is exactly what I want out of the new pup. I cannot imagine being without a dog, but it kills me having to say goodbye.  Yes, we have both previous labs cremated and on the mantle. My kids are 3 & 5 and it's gonna be brutal when this one crosses that bridge. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’m actually surprised by the lack of full size poodles. They are great, smart dogs for the most part. I think ppl believe you are required to get the stupid poodle cut all the time though. Rotties are definitely in the downturn, but also good dogs if trained properly. I agree with the cocker spaniel. Worthless dogs. I dont see many beagles around here either. Used to be quite a few when I grew up. Poodles are proud German hunting dogs. |

IMHO Disney is responsible for the destruction of many fine dog breeds.
This movie caused the indiscriminate breeding that ruined the Irish Setter, and turned the breed into brainless imbeciles for decades: https://movies.disney.com/big-red Lady and the Tramp did the same for the Cocker Spaniel (Lady), but less so the Airedale (Tramp). Beethoven placed Saint Bernard's in homes unprepared for them. And we all know the carnage of 101 Dalmatians. But sadly many breeds are dying from neglect, simply because the jobs that they are bred to do either aren't needed anymore, or are not P.C. Hunting dogs, ratters, herding dogs, guard dogs.

Quoted: This post is brought to you by CoronaBoredom. I really don't like Cocker Spaniels. They're living breathing mops that just look stupid. Stupid dumb little shits that require haircuts. Dogs shouldn't require haircuts. Saw one today being walked by an older guy and got to thinking - everyone I know that has one is older. They do not seem to be popular with younger generations. Is the breed dying out in popularity? And what other breeds don't seem to be popular anymore that once were? Shepherds, the american urban hyena, labs, and -doodle (lol you have a stupid dog name) variants seem to be going strong. Off top of my head I cant think of any dogs that were recently popular and are now unpopular. Maybe english bulldogs. |

I've got 2 dogs, one of which is a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback female I've had since she was a pup.
Ridgebacks have had the opposite, a popularity boom. She's coming up on 9 years old. When we took her out in public when she was 1-2 years old, she was almost a celebrity. We'd be stopped every few minutes by someone asking what breed she was because of the distinctive ridge. Even the people that knew what Ridgebacks are generally hadn't seen one in person. They were a rarity. Now, while still not an extremely common breed - I know of at least a dozen fairly close to me, and everyone knows what they are. My old girl is coming up on the end, my wife and I are talking hard about getting another Ridgy. |

I have read many books on the 1925 Serum Run to Nome and THE CRUELEST MILES by cousins Gay Salisbury and Laney Salisbury is the best of the bunch! Just read Togo's Fireside Reflections and you are left with the impression Togo and Leonhard Seppala were two of a kind. They loved adventure and the unknown at a time when there were no cell phones, satellite phones, 911 or search and rescue with all weather helicopters to save your sorry ass because you failed to plan for the worst case and made poor decisions at -60°F! |

Dogs that need hair cuts were, mostly, bred for hunting game where that coat served a purpose.
As pets they may appear to be fussy and high maintenance, but the origins of these breeds were mostly pragmatic decisions to help the dog do a task. That means some of them are a royal pain as a pet, so their popularity comes and goes. |

You do not see many English setters, Brittany spaniels, or Irish setters.

I paid $3k for Titan 18 years ago. He was an amazing dog.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Dobermans and Rottweilers don't seem to be as common anymore. The kind of people wanting a good German working dog and are willing to pay for it buy a GSD. So most of the buyers for rotts and Dobermans are poors who can't save up $2k+ for a dog, and they get shittily bred dogs from other poors. Sucks because both breeds are great dogs when well bred.

Quote HistoryQuoted: don't see pointerpoodles much if at all... Will be my next dog. Poodle mix breed dogs are great. Are you talking about a pudelpointer? Because it isn’t a mix of a poodle and a pointer...it is it’s own thing. Great versatile hunting dogs that you don’t see very often in the US. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've got 2 dogs, one of which is a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback female I've had since she was a pup. Ridgebacks have had the opposite, a popularity boom. She's coming up on 9 years old. When we took her out in public when she was 1-2 years old, she was almost a celebrity. We'd be stopped every few minutes by someone asking what breed she was because of the distinctive ridge. Even the people that knew what Ridgebacks are generally hadn't seen one in person. They were a rarity. Now, while still not an extremely common breed - I know of at least a dozen fairly close to me, and everyone knows what they are. My old girl is coming up on the end, my wife and I are talking hard about getting another Ridgy. I've never seen one myself. |
