No.
Any idea how stupid your post looks? Do you realize that there are
hundreds of breeds of dogs and that owners of these breeds all
probably believe that *their* breed is "the best"?
And "best" at what? Are Rottweilers the "best" at herding cattle? As
seeing-eye dogs? Ar they the "best" as frisbee dogs, even better than
Border Collies? What??
I suppose we should be grateful you didn't say the breed "rulez".
Yawn.

opinion, it harms no one. So she's enthusiastic about her dog. Trust me -
there have been many many posts here that have been stupider - and ruder -
yours, for one.
Why not post something useful?

I think there is no point in arguing which breed is the best, since
different people want different things, and what is good for one, is not
good for the other. I have nothing against rottweilers, but it is not the
best breed for me (don't have enough room etc.). Every breed is the best for
someone, don't you agree?

about Rottweilers?
I believe that's called rude and mean-tempered.
Perhaps we could talk more about dogs and less about one's
ability to post to your satisfaction. Thank you.

http://www.SelectSmart.com features a "recommender" program that helps decide
what the "best" dog breed is for you. We'd be very interested in seeing how
many other dogs meet your criteria (size, temperment, intelligence, shedding,
etc., etc.) as well as Rotweilers.
Let us know.

Great Dane, and Rotti - I've been owned by two out of three, and if I were
a hunter, I'd probably have a lab, because the two my brother has had were
great dogs - my Rotti's were better, tho, for me.:>)
Now, why on earth would I take a test on cats??? Or grass?? :>)

with children, size did not matter, and low level of exercise required was
MOST IMPORTANT. Does this last trait apply to Chessies? I wouldn't think
so... Now I happen to think they are incredibly beautiful, but my
understanding is that they require at least as much daily, strenuous
exercise as a Lab. Shelties were WAY down on the list - and they happen to
be a perfect fit for my criteria (I know, we have one). I question this
selector. Can anyone straighten me out on Chessies? Paulette?
Ps - the reason I am looking is we intend to add to our family when the pup
is about 2. A larger dog would be wonderful.
Thanks.

Hi Sandra~
1. Some Chessies shed "a lot" some shed miminally.I would say on a scale
of 1-10 a brown dog would be somewhat a 4?? on the average.There again,
though Old Whistler would be 10+ ; )
2.They are okay with "your" children,however I have found with my rescue
dogs, that the problem occurs when your children have friends over,and
there is rough housing, A CBR doesn't like what they perceive to be
their "own", that they are "guarding to be "hurt". Thus, the
problem.Ususally resulting in the dog being given away, because , he
"bit" "jumped" "growled" a neighbour child. The child is usually a boy
under ten...
3. Well SIZE DOES MATTER..
A CBR is a much stronger and larger dog than other retriever breeds.
A very SERIOUS DOG...
4.A Chessie, needs mucho "macho" exercise.
Both physically and mentally, to keep that testosterone in
check...heehee
They really do not do well,if they don't get a lot of stimuli.
In fact, I believe a CBR should only be owned by someone who is going to
"hunt"
That's what turns them into a great dog, you know? A great "tuff"
retriever.
People always assume that they are an unusual "Chocolate Lab".Well their
not. They were bred during the "market hunters" prime time,and expected
not only to bring in hundreds of waterfowl daily, but while the hunter
went to market, stay behind, and guard....
EVERYTHING...The decoys,guns,duck boat,blind,the ground they were
standing on.
So think "Guard" as much as "Retrieving" dog,okay?
They think everything is theirs to protect,you know?
I don't like these dog "lists" I have gotten a lot of brown dogs,
because they have gone to these lst, and the list said a Chessie would
be the right dog for them...<sigh>
To round it up, Sandra, I don't think a Chessie is for you.
Why don't you call Lab Rescue or go to your nearest shelter and get
yourself a wonderful lab X,female,who will be sweet, and a much easier
dog for you to "deal with' than a stubborn,opinionated,egotisitcal,take
no crap,know it all, brown dog...
Yes, I know, they say a dog and his/her owner are a lot alike...
Someone once asked Ernest H why he always had to do it his way..
Ernest answered.."Because that's the way i like it"
I loved Ernest...
I think we were related : )
Let me know what you have decided..

Those questions give Chesapeake Bay Retrievers a relatively low score
of 83%. Be sure to hit "reset" if if you're asking new questions.
Try the alergy question. Lack of shedding does not equate with lack
of allergies as the article at linked off of
http://www.SelectSmart.com/DOG explains.

I think you and I would get along famously (or kill each other!) - I suspect
we are very much alike. I will definitely NOT be getting a Chessie. I was
shocked to see them on the list after doing the breed selector. I had
gathered from some of your previous posts that they are more dog than I can
handle. Heck, the reason I didn't get a Lab (always my favorite breed) was
because of my hectic schedule (divorced, 2 small kids, working, insane...).
The little Sheltie guy is content laying at my feet when he has to, or
getting his exercise playing fetch up the hall, or playing outside hours on
end with us on the weekends. He's also been embarrassingly easy to train.
Perfect fit. I am still longing for a big "knock me over" kind of dog, so I
may opt for an adult labX bitch from a shelter when the time is right, one
that might be past the "chew and destroy anything and everything" stage. We
had one of those for many many years and she was wonderful. I do long for
puppy breath, though... decisions, decisions. Good news - I have 16 months
to decide! (Pup is only 8 months right now.)
And YES, I did see your lovely brown dogs on Dogman's sight. They are
spectacular, Paulette. Thanks so much for the Chessie lesson.

little dogs just get there quicker.
All dogs, (humans too) need a great deal of good work everyday. Stuff
toys now kick thier back legs when you rub bellies. That the only dog
that does not deserve a good workout.

saying "no kidding." Any fool knows that dogs need daily exercise (I hope
so, anyway). What I said was: "daily, strenuous exercise..." The operative
word being strenuous. The level of exercise (note: LEVEL, not amount) of
exercise a Sheltie requires versus a Lab or Chessie is worlds apart.

CBR to the number 62! When I answered the questions on what I wanted it
gave a CBR over 100...
So...Maybe there IS something to it!

some reason. I did also mark the allergy option as top priority. If they
are anything like Labs, I wouldn't rank them high on "good for allergy
sufferers", but that's just a guess on my part. Thanks.

lady turn in two little dogs because they needed too much outside

what kind of dog we told her to get a beannie baby.

I realize there ARE fools out there getting dogs who have no right. (Like
most of my neighbors *sigh*) Sorry about the little ones. It's just
sickening. I am witnessing a similar situation which is bound to end in
another dog going to a shelter (or to my house!): 9 week old lab, tied up
outside ALL day and into the night, mother complaining that he cries too
much, chews too much, plays too much, husband wanted the dog, but of course
she's "caring" for it (HA). His inside time is spent in one of those little
carry kennels. Trust me, I'm saying, "he just wants to be with his pack.
Tie him to you, he'll be happy and you can housebreak him easier this
way..." I've recommended books, puppy preschool, training ideas, offered
play dates in my yard. They stare blankly and nod, never doing any of it.
I wish people had to take tests to qualify to have dogs. Hell, tests to
qualify to have babies as well! There'd be even more demand for Beanie
Babies cuz that's all most people would qualify to own... Take care.

You and me too. Say if your neighbor wants to give up their lab, maybe you
can send him my way.

em to pieces. Oh okay, I love almost all breeds, I admit it. When I was
growing up, the guy next door to us played professional basketball. They
decided they wanted a dog, and they got something called a Bouveia... I
can't spell it... but it was a big black dog. No doubt it was of fine
lineage. I still remember hearing that dog bark every night at the back
door in all kinds of weather. She would come out and scream at it, hit it,
etc. We had made calls to every agency we could think of. The dog was
never groomed, was beaten, and I think they finally got rid of it. After
the dog was traumatized for few good years... great. Their little kid stuck
things through the fence and tormented my dog so much that I feared a
lawsuit every day I lived there. Hey, some folks just weren't meant to have
dogs, and it frustrates me because I love dogs so very much!
