Let's play a game. This game is called, "Help Lyz find Dog #2". I had a similar thread up looking for breed suggestions, but now I'm looking actively for our next dog. I personally fail at this game. I fail terribly. :rofl1: And DH isn't much better. So we are looking for more directed help. Casting the net wider, so to speak.
Very few rules to the game. I have so many possible-fit breeds in mind that it's really come down to individual dog or breeder at this point. Possible breeds have been GSD, Malinois, Malamute, Chinook, GSP, Border Collie, Aussie, Beauceron, ACD, several different sighthounds, so on so forth.
You play by suggesting breeder/rescue, discourage/encourage certain breed, breeder, rescue or even certain available dogs. Personal experiences also count.
Winner(s) gets bragging rights, cyber cookies, and (free) art of dogs done by moi.
So, let the games begin!

- Intelligent, extremely active, personality, indifferent/polite with strangers. Medium to large. I'm leaning more towards hard dogs than soft dogs. Vocal is a plus.
- No die-hard aggressive tendencies(trainable and socialized are fine). No wire/scruff coats. No "omg everyone is a friend".
- Preferably (but none required) female, young(ish), able to be registered, and slightly more on the biddable/human-oriented side. I'd like to get into events, shows, competitions, but it will be family dog first. So some potential would be nice.
- Excluded breeds are Akitas, Dobes, Sibes, Chows, Rotties, Pits, etc.
