Your emphasis on dogs being individuals is much appreciated. Also, the advice to talk with veterinarians and trainers before choosing a breed, is absolutely correct. As for your comments on different breeders, you are 100% right. Every time a breed gains in popularity, unscrupulous breeders appear, and all but destroy the breed. The only purebred dogs I have had, have been Border Collies. I grew up with one and didn't realize just how different she was to most of them. She was energetic, but not crazily so. She had a good size backyard to run around in, but not huge. The first BC I acquired on my own, was a rescue who was born blind in one eye. Sadly, she had constant infections and was on medication almost constantly because of it. She developed cataract in the other eye. As she became more and more blind, she also became very nasty. She was only 3 years old when she had to be put down. I currently have another BC, and this one is different again. More typical of the breed. Even at 13, she requires at least 2 walks a day, at least 2 hours long each time. My other dogs have been a real hodge podge. The only common factor being energy level - medium high to high. The exception being the other dog I still have. That one was an absolute whirlwind of activity when young, and difficult to train. Breeding? Border Collie crossed with Rat Terrier! She will be 15 in February, and still tries to jump, bounce and run. Sadly, her legs are starting to go on her. All those years of extreme activity are catching up with her. I've had a terrier/poodle cross, many with Labrador Retriever in them, a couple with some hound blood, a Cattle Dog cross, and others with Border Collie in the mix. The Cattle Dog cross was extremely protective of my grandchildren, and kept the BC I still have, away from them. Sadly, we lost him two years ago. Of all the dogs I have had, one in particular stands out. The one I had just before the three herding dogs. She was half Border Collie, quarter Black Lab, and quarter Black and Tan Coonhound. She had the best traits of all three breeds, combined in one fantastic dog! The BC brains, the sweet nature of the Lab, and I can only assume her guarding instincts came from the coonhound. (Not really up on Coonhounds!) She was wonderful with everybody, except intruders. They got the "don't even think about it" attitude! Having the size of the coonhound didn't hurt. Sorry this is so long!

@6:07 What other "Spaniel varieties" would you consider in the lower energy category? Please.

I choose a mixed breed every time. Hybrid vigor, no over breeding and a darned good dog.

Hello. I really liked listening to your discussion of breeds. I am thinking about obtaining a Spitz breed. I am looking at the American Eskimo. Do you have knowledge of this breed? I think there is a German breed that is very similar (whose name i can nit recall) but you may know as well.

English mastiff, boerboel, bullmastiff are really good choices for both family protection and companion they extremely good with kids especially English mastiff only they don't live as long as the boerboel who also is extremely good with kids, English mastiff is best for very low energy, boerboel are bit more active. English mastiff has layers of responses to threats, boerboel more reactive to threats they very serious about protection, English mastiff will defend but biting is there last resort if all else fails, then they have a 175lbs to 285lbs problem their hands, I've seen English mastiff kill horses and cattle protecting owner in Texas.

why are there not one but three french bulldogs in the thumbnail - a breed with many and severe health problems that you really shouldn't pick..?

German shepherd no other dog comes close to perfection

Thanks - getting my new husky in a few days, and this helped make sure I had everything in place. Cheers.

Any thoughts on Bully Kutta or Malakli? I am looking for companion/guard dog living in cca 1 mil city in the South-East Europe in a house with a yard. I had Cane Corso and a Rottweiler, but i want bigger. I liked Cane Corso more.

Any thoughts on Samoyeds

This dog is so naughty! Probably called Billy

How do you treat constant bladder infection, antibiotics are absolutely horrible in dogs ?

You have many so they are never alone. Big diff from owning one pup in a home .

Well they are out in a wild space all day

Thanks for the video! And your puppy is absolutely adorable 😍

It looks so peaceful out there Shannon. Take care. Lots of Love Wendy, Huw and Lily

Hi:) The link for the liver cake does not seem to work. Please can I get it somehow. Possibly at my training thursday at 17h30? Many thanks, Riley Roo Smith WOOFS!

Hi Dogs And. Can you please make a video on separation anxiety on dogs. I need some guidance on how much time I should spend with my puppy on a daily basis so that he will not build up separation anxiety in future. I’m pretty much with my dog the whole time when I am home and he follows me around all the time when I am home. But I also heard that is not good because they become too attached to you and I really do not want my puppy to grow up having separation anxiety. Should my dog have some alone time? Does my 8 hours at work considered as alone time or I should give him some alone time even when I am home?

Did I not give you that plant?!

I love your videos so much! You are so informative. You’ve taught me so much and I’m already using what you’ve taught me with my yorkie Rufus.

I must say I enjoy looking at your dogs while you talk😅

Excellent Shannon, thanx for these brilliant videos, you have so much to share, much appreciated.

Excellent video - thanks, I learnt a lot.

This makes so much sense. We have a dog that spooks really easily (Thor), but needs the exercise due to arthritis. We took him out for walks but it would become a shorter and shorter walk as something new spooked him every time. Fortunately we have a big yard where he is very happy to walk in millions of circles. Stopping walks outside has also helped us desensitise him slowly but surely from many scary things

This is great, Sherlock loves the cup game, really enjoying the videos!

Hi there i recently subscribed to your channel and i really like your videos.i was wondering if you had any advice for me about toy stealing. Because when I go to the dog park. I will be busy playing with him then the next second he is of running to another toy. I really enjoyed this video can't wait for the next video

Yay! My instincts were right. I stopped walking my dogs because I felt I was teaching the little virus that it is okay to escape. Now to find a dog friendly park near me.

Super interesting and informative. Never considered a dog walk from this point of view yet makes perfect sense! Thanks

Where do you buy nail clippers

Super awesome video ❤️
