Post /out/ dog breeds
Bonus: horses and other outdoor animals
>implying there are many other breeds that surpass vizslas
/thread
>>491927
GSPs are better than Vizslas. /argument
>>491701
Any breed of dog can be an /out/ dog as long as you train them right.
>GSP better than vizslas
They practically the same dog they just have slight differences it really depends on what you are looking for. Vizslas are faster but GSPs have a better nose it really depends on the person
>>491945
>They practically the same dog
Nah, they are really different. GSPs are long-ranging dogs with better noses and more drive, more muscular and generally 'tougher', more stubborn and consequently harder to train, more aloof with strangers etc.
My GSP is a machine. She's 53 lbs and I'm 175 lbs and we'll go skijoring for 15 miles and she will still be up for fun.
I like Vizslas, but I prefer the drive and personality of GSPs. But Vizslas are one of the easier pointers, which is why I've seen lots more in the city over the last few years (versus GSPs).
My dog in a union pacific unit EB to Shreveport cus it's hard to go to NOLA
Terrier master race
> the shitposters of the dog world
Anyone have any off leash dog issues? I.E off leash dogs acting like assholes or running away?
>hike the chief today. Going down from the first peak after doing the loop. find a sick hiking stick.
>Going down the stairs i see a pair of qt american girls petting a dog. The dog takes a likeing to my stick and starts to follow me. I assume it's their dog and enjoy having a dogbro to join me on my descent.
>They ask if the dog is mine, "Nope"... They then brief me that they found the dog running around the trail and have had trouble settling it down. The dog, Jake, is crazy about my stick so he seems to enjoy hanging around me.
>I manage to get a number off Jakes tag and get a hold of the owner. Apparently the owners partner is on the hill with his two cousins and the dog got away. The owner says this dog has difficulty holding attention to things.
>I get a hold of the partner, we arrange a meeting spot near where I found the dog. I'm not goin back up because im exhausted. Jake really admires my hiking stick thou and he seems to be sticking with me so me and Jake play fetch with this 5 foot long hiking stick in a narrow, empty section of the path.
>20 minutes later one of the cousins comes and grabs the dog, putting him on a leash.
Jake was a rad dog, but I get the feeling that he has dog ADD and he needs to be on a leash. Good feeling tho, wish the qt's stuck around so we could chat. Oh well.
Here's my hiking buddy. It's my friends doxi pincher mix. It was a street dog growing up so it doesn't like leashes. After a few hikes it has gotten more comfortable with me and a bit more obedient. On our first solo hike together he was constantly running far up ahead on the way down which worried me. Last few times I've come to the realization that if i do a loop he wont run far ahead because it's all new to him..
>>491944
Not a shit soo
>>492048
It all depends on Owner/Dog dynamic I know my dog will listen off leash because I have conditioned him to stay near me, on top of that his red heeler side is keen to stay near me about a 50' radius and he doesn't really go beyond that.
Some dogs are or are not inclined to off leash
Some people are the same, it is up to the owner to make the right choice.
My mutt/bff
My dog. 4 months old.

Blaze orange headband used for a dog collar during hunting season, might be the best dollar you ever spend.
>>492417
looks like he has pointer (GSP) in him
>>492431
German Shepard master race
I like German Shepard mixes. My dog Moon Unit is German Shepard/yellow lab I think
>>492628
That lil mah' fucka is blitzed out of his mind
Belgian Shepherd master dog race
>>492614
Yep, his dad was a purebred pointer, mom was a lab/boxer.
>>492731
my terv is belly up on my bed right now snoozin
loves to be /out/, despite constant effort on my part a little skittish around people
Black lab mix. Full of assburgers. But fun.
my yellow lab is asleep on his bed in front of the tv, 5 months old and the little bugger all ready loves 15mile hikes, just wish I had some /out/ bro's to walk with
>>492784
Your dog IS your out bro, but limit their exercise until they are older when their growth plates close at one to one and a half years old. Their skeleton isn't ready for that much exertion at 5 months and it will increase their chance of elbow and hip dysplacia later in life. Congrats on the puppy, dogforums is a great resource with lots of knowledgeable people that I got a lot out of help from when my dog was a pup years ago. Good luck.
>>492904
of course he is my bro, unfortunately he had no interest in ornithology, basic hydro-dynamics, or enjoy a piknik, though watching him bark at the river is most enjoyable
>>492736
Nice, you can see all those breeds in him.
>>492628
He's so baked he can't even open his eyes
>>492978
Once he is fully grown and his growth plates have closed you can introduce him to thermo dynamics
>>493139
lol'd
My /out/ buddy. I've been thinking about making him a leather collar. I'm shock training him now because we always lose him when he goes after rabbits.
>>493695
He's a 20 month old Golden-Doodle btw
9 year old Standard Poodle. She's so energetic that people always ask if she's a puppy. She likes hunting ducks and hiking in the snow.
who /comfywithdogintent/ here?
>>492759
Best fucking dogs.
>>492759
what a cutie
>>493806
We have a 12 year old poodle. She acts more or less like a 2 year old. Loves to go on hikes, but her age and arthritis really limits her at this point.
>>491701
My Aussie works well... Except that one time there were goats....
>>491701
Hoping our family can pick up this 3 year old mix this weekend. He looks to have some serious /out/ potential.
>>493854
I'm sorry to hear that. The great thing about standards is that no matter what they're young at heart. 12 is gettin up there.
Here's a photo back when she and I were just youngins.
>>493920
I was 12 in this picture. We kill ducks together now.
hello from /k/
I have a Boxer. Not the ideal innawoods dog but she can run for hours in the cooler months. Once the temperatures get up there, she can't go too long.

>tfw Lab+Rottweiler mix
>tfw ultimate bro dog
lovable as a lab and loyal as a rott, GOAT combo.
>>495912
That is an insanely hyper mix.
>>491701
This my whatever dog. She's down for almost anything I take her to do and I have absolutely no idea what she is. The place I adopted her from said lab shepherd and I know that isn't true.
>She jaw locks on a rope toy
>tolerates all children
>has a curly tail
>webbed toes
>her ears stand straight up when they feel like it
>she can do ear splitting howls
>coat changes colors in the season(sandy brown to almost black)
>incredibly smart
>incredibly loyal
Obviously she's more than just 2 breeds but she go damn near anywhere I want her to go. Just don't expect a dead run if shr catches even the slightest wiff of somthing interesting she'll lock her legs and jam her nose in the ground and take a deep, hard sniff.
>>495930
almost hunting dog material. good find in a million.
>>495931
She's a hardy little one, for sure. Haven't gotten much in to hunting with her. She'll tolerate fireworks and loud noises to a degree but after a while she'll have enough and go hide.
>>495930
Another pic just before our morning rituals.
>>491701
Intelligence, endurance, fiercely loyal and protective, and very obedient. I've used her to flush rabbits from a fence row and she even picks lines when I'm in my jeep.
>>495957
I grew up with a dal. Amazing dogs if you have the patience for them. They challenge at every turn if you're on top of them though.
>>495962
If you're not**
>>495962
Agreed. They are not for everybody. I've mine for about 7 years, my last dal for 13. Sometimes they are too smart for there own good.
>>496001
Mine was 10 when he passed. Made my other dogs seem like easy work compared to him.
Boarder collies are great dogs just keep an eye on them around sheep they will herd anything and everything
>>496034
They's so smart it's scary.
>>496093
My dog trainer called them "borderline neurotic". He owned 2.
>>496905
>"borderline neurotic"
True. Mine used to herd everything, even people when she was a pup. Had to train that behavior out of her.
>>496905
Their behavior is only an issue when they aren't worked hard enough.
>>496916
>True. Mine used to herd everything, even people when she was a pup. Had to train that behavior out of her.
Don't get a herding dog if you don't want a herding dog. I never understand why people get sport or working dogs and don't respect the breed for what it was meant for.
>>496921
I'm fine with her herding animals, but she was biting at people's heels so I had to do something. I only discouraged herding people. Also she's a rescue.
>>496921
>Don't get a herding dog if you don't want a herding dog. I never understand why people get sport or working dogs and don't respect the breed for what it was meant for.
Because they like the other attributes and temperament of said animal, maybe? That's a bit like saying you only drive your 4wd truck in 4-low and only off road. Just because they were build for one thing doesn't mean they won't train for another.
>>496932

No, it's more like getting a 4wd truck and putting it on blocks in your front yard.
There is a reason sporting and hunting breeds in cities are more likely to go through several owners than other breeds.
Or why labs become obese and have their knees blow out. Or why collies and other high-energy working breeds have separation anxiety and other psychological problems stemming from a lack of exercise and mental stimulation.
A gun dog is always going to be happier with a hunter a herding dog is always going to be happier working on a farm. Why bother "training out" its natural instinct? It's absurd, like clipping the wings of a parrot.
>>496941
You act like you know how my dog and I live, and assume a lot.
>don't want my dog biting people's feet.
>get out with her almost every single day.
>let her herd chickens, geese, or anything we come across on our hikes.
>mention one aspect where herding isn't a good behavior to have.
>"NOOOOO YOU'RE RUINING THE POOR DOG!"
fucking sperg
>>491944
My dog is in no way shape or form an /out dog
>>495930
Very cool dog, mixed breeds can make the best dogs, they can have the best traits of several breeds. Although calling her a lab/Sheperd mix really doesn't really seem too far off from what you describe.
Also you mention the lock jaw on a rope toy, no dogs can "lock" their jaw, some can just bite really freaking hard.
>>497389
>those chubby little legs
>>497389
>dat ass
This sweet, but stupid, girl loves to accompany me on shorter hikes. She's a basset mix, so those stumpy legs need to work overtime to keep pace with me.
>>497389
Still not an /out dog
>>497434
he's so fucking cute holy shit. French bulldog right? My cousins had those little fuckers for years.
>>497394
I can lift her in all of her 60lbs of the ground from the tension in her jaws. Also her tail curls.
>>497498
Yeah french bulldog. I got him from a shelter, I didn't care if he was a purebred french bulldog or a mutt, he was such a good dog I adopted him. He's pretty cool, lazy, loves people, very sweet natured and gentle.
>>497530
Well I'm glad you and he are happy. They're a nice little breed. 10/10 would scratch behind the ears.
Me and my /out dog adventuring innawoods. Not sure his exact breed, cause I saved his ass from the pound. Looks like a border collie/malamute cross. He's a brat when on the leash but in his element out in the bush. He runs a parameter around me and scouts ahead but never gets to far away that Id lose him. I have no doubt he'd let me know if a bear was nearby, probably even try and take it on. Great /out pal
>>491701
golden retriever
>>497588
I like your dog.
>>497588
The blue eyes, the flecks on the snout, and just his whole face in general make me think there might be some Australian Shepard in there. Great picture anon, you guys look like fun.
>>491701
Pic very related. They used to be used to hunt lions the same way blood hounds hunt foxes. They're huge and incredibly smart. Can't wait to have a house, because Im getting two of these fuckers.
>>497639
Thanks. He's probably one of the best dogs I've owned. The only other that comes near was one I had growing up who also happened to be a border collie cross mutt of sorts only he was even bigger. Similar personality though. Mixing a collie with a larger breed seems to make a damn good dog in my experience. The intelligence of a collie but larger and stronger.
>>497653
A something ridge back?
>>497653
Ridgebacks actually used to kill the lions, not corner them.
I met this guy
>>497675
That's the kind of badass dog I need next. I plan to move out to the Canadian Rockies in the near future. If they can take down lions in Africa, Id have no worries about mountain lions in BC
>>496988
>let her herd chickens, geese, or anything we come across on our hikes.
lol yeah, totally the same as a dog working with a herd and the farmer.
>>498009
OK dude. You obviously want to pretend you're right. So go pretend.
>>497675
>Ridgebacks actually used to kill the lions
nope
>>498009
You're wrong and don't want to admit it. Fuck off.
>>491701
Pure breeds aren't even real dogs. Mongrels is where it's at.
>>492759
He got dem crazy eyes
>>497973
If you believed what he said you will get yourself and your dog killed.
>>492620
Good gosh that is a cute dog and it sounds like a fantastic breed mix as well

Charlie, the Chocolate Lab.
He is one of the sweetest pups in the world, but in his element during duck and goose hunting season he is another dog. No matter how cold it is he is just in the zone.
