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.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
