I want a dog!

You guys made some really good suggestions, especially with the little information given over the internet, and I can vouch for that because I know the type of lifestyle the dog will have to deal with.
We've been talking, preparing, and just doing some research. I swear this is the most my brother and I have ever gotten along :lol:
We've been looking at the most amazing GSD, Lab, and Collie mixes at the shelters and pounds. It's been hard to not adopt one... we came close a couple times.
My Mom has always loved boxers, and its something that has easily rubbed off on my brother. There is one that I am trying to place in another home, and he is a handful. I simply don't think that a boxer is honestly a good choice for my brother and the family... And that's hard to admit, because I do love boxers, too.
But he wants a dog that can come hiking with me and go to off leash (legal) parks and the concern of BSL has come up. They just aren't "educated" enough, and imo don't have enough experience for this type of dog, because of the reputation alone [I'm afraid].
My brother is not doing well in school right now, and my parents are using a dog as an incentive. It's stupid high school, and I would beat up those jerk guys if I was younger :lol:
He really needs a buddy, but I just don't know...
hmm....
anyways, a *bump* because he's going to be on later, and I'm not sure if he would've found his old thread. :lol-sign:
