Yes, bguru has it right on the money with greyhounds and danes. I think a newfie might do alright, too. my first thought was a grey, but in reading about them you really cannot ever have them off leash and there is something about the way they look that makes me sort of anxious. Besides, Im not that queenly. Living close to the water i thought a newf might love it, but then realized I might be spending most of my money on towels for clean up of his drool and probable random dips. I dont know if I would love this, or resent it. All this said, my eyes are on a dane (or maybe, if it pans out with research a couple of others).
If I were to get a pooch it would be from the Pixie Project or some similar organization that rescues. Purebread, mutt, whatever. As usual, its probably the chemistry and forethought of the person as to becoming the owner of the dog that matter.
Heres the thing though. Do you like having a dog? With full and total responsibility at all times?
