Well after the very sad loss of my Staffy "jack" we vowed not to get another dog but despite everything we or should I say me,have been contemplating getting another.Dennis is awesome with other dogs so cannot see this being a problem and would obviously go for a female to avoid conflict.Have a few breeds in mind but cannot decide.Moving to a larger house this week also with loads of space so that will not be an issue either.Only downside is the additional feed costs and insurance..both of which are affordable but it is something to bare in mind.Choices have been narrowed down to ...
1) Neopolitan mastiff
2) Akita
3) German Shepherd
4) Engflish Bull Terrier
5) St Bernard
6) Russian Terrier
7)Bouvier des Flandres
All have pro's and cons but would welcome any advice opinions etc..or just any experience shared with the breeds mentioned.

A mate of mine just got an English Bull Terrier puppy a few months back.

It's been perfect to train. Not chewed a thing. Good on a lead. Gets on well with other dogs. It's a beautiful dog too.

Go for an English Bull!

White with black eye patch is my fave. Possibly a pure white though...
