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.
Response:
And your point is? It’s her opinion – you have no right to attack her 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?

Any particular reason you needed to insult the woman who posted her comment 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. . – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Rottweilers are the best breed!!

Yes. Rotweilers are probably the best breed for you. Our site 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.

Neat – I love tests that agree with me. I took it, and it listed Lab, 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???

Response:
My key criteria were minimal shedding (we have an allergic kid here), good 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. Sandra – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Yes.

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.. Paulette~ oh ps. Did you ever see the christmas pics of my dogs? I think Dogman still has it up. Go here http://home.i1.net/~dogman/paulette.htm A dogs life is too short… Their only fault really…
Response:
Hi- 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. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >My key criteria were minimal shedding (we have an allergic kid here), good >with children, size did not matter, and low level of exercise required was >MOST IMPORTANT.

Response:
Hi Paulette, 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. — Sandra

My dad had a saying. All dogs need the same number of steps everyday. 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.

HUH? If I am reading your jumbled post correctly, let me first respond by 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. — Sandra

I went to the test, and actually your things you want in a dog, put a 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! Paulette~ A dogs life is too short… Their only fault really…
Response:
I’ll have to rerun it, but Chessies were up around 95% on the selector for 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.

Response:
Yeah, sorry, I took it wrong, and it MUST have been too early for you. ;-) 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. — Sandra – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Maybe you took it wrong.

You and me too. Say if your neighbor wants to give up their lab, maybe you can send him my way. Kirsten Another Lab lover
Response:
A nine week old Lab? Oh my LORD. One of the finest breeds IMHO. I love 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! Plops Mom
