What line(s) for an older person

Any lines being known for throwing more happy go lucky dogs? Me and my husband are both 60 now so I guess we need more of the wimpy type dogs

we’ve had ones rip through crates, chew through doors, and rip up tile, so I guess the opposite of that

 

No disrespect intended. But it's probably time for yall to pick up a golden doodle. You post some weird ass shit.

 

I would suggest another breed that is more low key and a bit more mellow.

 

maybe a Staffordshire Terrier

 

Not something of dog of the millennium or whatever el titere was....

A nice min pin... maybe a jrt if you need a little fiestiness to ease the soul...

But all in all a rescue spaniel with good training.

 

I M 61 BUT CAN STILL DO A 15 MIUTE BIKE RIDE EVERY NIGHT, A NECESSITY WITH A YOUNG DOG. CAN STILL PICK HER UP AMD PUT HER IN HER PEN. OOPS, caps locked. I would say in 10 year I wouldn't be able to do thee things anymore, so this will be my last dog.

 

Pete Sparks the snake catcher and handler feeded multiple dogs deep in his nineties.Damn he was one of the toughest around. Different times different people. About other quit mellow but fierce breeds, Ca de Bou the Spanish bulldog.

 

Just remember they are Terriers and often act like Terriers. No matter if it came from a truly game bred family are not

 

there are lines more hyper than others I recall visiting fwk yard and it sounded like he was roasting dogs alive in the backyard
those patrick dogs OMG

 

They loved to interact with visitors as they were sweet dogs for the ones handling them but no dogs for a beginner I suppose. Even the neighbours were fond of them,LOL.

 

No barking at all but high pitched screams if excited jumping around like crazy and trying to reach the sky, something like that,LOL

 

Some were noisy mostly the Patrick blooded ones and some were quiet like a mouse.

 

Memories about that noise. One night, 3 men wanted to break into the house next to us. I woke up to the dogs coming out of their kennels. The moment the burglars wanted to break a window, the whole thing started jumping and screaming and a large Bullyson dog barked loudly. through it. I hung out the window cursing them out and saw them sprint away. One fell on its mouth and had a hole in its head. He was dragged along by the other two. They disappeared around the corner and I heard a car start and they were gone. Nice ! never heard or saw the guys again.

 

There are definitely certain dog lines that appear to be more hyperactive than others. However, I believe this hyperactivity is primarily influenced by the way these lines are bred and selected. I've had a similar experience with Patrick dogs, but what I've noticed is that certain strains of redboy dogs that I had were particularly prone to exhibiting high energy levels . Barking, jumping, climbing . Toke all my energy.

 

Skillet dogs bout same

 

Sucks getting' older. I always liked my old Colby/Heinzl cross dogs as house pets but those lines are pretty well gone now. Currently I have a red gyp from old Patricks/Hollingsworth lines, she's 38 pounds and pretty easy to handle as a house pet. My neighbors have a pit/Lab cross who is a nice dog, about 45 pounds, black in color, he's good with the kids and other dogs, does not bark a lot and just a good fellow.

For some other breeds, I know some who have gone to the Staffordshire bull terrier as an easier pet. They seem like nice dogs but I still like the old style pit bulls. I'd not want a Boston terrier or French bulldog, too many health problems, they can't breathe with that too short snout and some can barely walk. Nah I'll stay with my pit bulls as long as I can… Some lines are easier than others, take a good look at the sire and dam if you can and see how they act. Nothing in life is a guarantee.
