Just found this thread and had to add my tuppence hapenny! I have had other breeds, but I am now completely addicted to Briards! They are such characters, hugely loyal and very, very funny. My 2 current ones are Sadie who is black, and Gordy (10 months) , a fawn. They are both fascinated by all the farm animals, but not allowed to 'play' with them. Yet.!!
First pic is Sadie and my gorgeous boy Chewy in Cairns-I lost him tragically to a paralysis tick.
Second pic is Gordy, the pup. A joyful, naughty hairy bundle of mischief who I adore.

My GWP did this on Saturday - but to be honest not her fault. The German breeds are sharper than most as a rule, and my dog sitter seemed to think as Hester is such a 'lovely friendly little doggie' (She's NOT little for a start! Yes, she is friendly - with people!) it was all right to let her out the front to 'play' with the ducks and chickens. She was in tears when she phoned me to say Hess had got on of my ex batts. I ask you!

oh man, nightmare, isn't it? so sad when this happens. my dog was in an awful lot of trouble afterwards, doesn't deter him though... they are hunting dogs and all people say it's in their blood- fair enough, not a good consolation after you lost one of your favourite chickens though, is it? he's got quite a knack for getting my favourites as well, god knows how he does it... little sod. still love him... god knows why- i think it's their beard and lovely temperament with people; he loves everybody and they love him back.

This is an old thread. I lost Hester last year - think it was April/May, still miss her loads. Have been offered pick of litter in both Wireys and my other Breed Brittanys this summer. Think I'll go for the little 'un.

I suspect it probably won't be too tricky guessing what my favourite is!

After Sheba chased off a potential thief & definitely trespasser yesterday ... my vote is still & always German Shepherds, all the way!

For me, any dog can make it's home here and will be loved, but the german shepherd has a special place in my heart. It is truly loyal. It is not excellent at any one thing but is very good at most things (training permitting). Herding,tracking,guarding,retrieving, . ( except 6mth old 'obi' who is only good at disobedience and has forgotten all his puppy training!! The adolescent dog!!

Having had German Sheperds in the past they are my favorite breed, an all over good dog to have around. We have also had Red Setters, now have a collie and jack russell. All my dogs have been trained to be well behaved and to me that is the key training. Taught well from the start and most dogs behave and are great . I know that our Jack Russell would like nothing better than to grab a hen but he hates being in my bad books so controls the urge. Our setters loved to find them bu never chased, neither did the German Shepherds.
