pit bull by a mile but i don't have one.

1. Short hair
2. Like people very emotional will be your best friend ever, ours used to sleep in our bed
3. Gamest dog on the planet. Never quit never die attitude whether running, fly ball and of course what it's known for fighting

i don't have one due to hyper dog aggression and he tried to kill my labs so i shot him in the head.

wtf?

Yeah what of it? I've killed over 40,000 animals in my lifetime between hunting and fishing. I will not have a liability who is killing my other animals. Nor will I give a liability to someone else. Like a man I deal with it no matter how gut wrenching it was.

Our labs are outside dogs to the hair problem. Plus the fact they go in and out of the pool and pond all day and get that wet dog smell. But labs are #1 in so far as hunting dogs. They can't point the best like a pointer who are mentally retarded, They can't flush the best like Spaniels. But they are top 10 in both categorizes and obviously the best retrievers and very very intelligent. Even over a slushy frozen pond they will go get a duck. No other dog will do this. No other dog learns the hunting as well either. I had my trained before their first birthday. All it takes is time every day for about 6 months and you'll have a serious asset on your hands. Love the labs. Plus they probably have never bit anyone in the history of man. Very good with children.

I've had labs, german shepards, huskies, and pitbulls. Pitbulls by far are my favorite breed of dog from my experience . They are intelligent, loyal, and the best family dogs I have ever owned.

I agree.
It's funny how Labs are underrated to non-dog folks. They are seriously cool though.

Examples:
"Hey I brought a Lab home."
reply: "oh...okay...cool I guess."

"Hey I brought home a German Shepard."
reply : "OMGRABBITBBQ!!! Bring it over now, I wantz to see it!"

We have a Shepard too and I think labs are more intelligent plus Shepard's arnt good for much but man stopping and only if trained well. Most of the time people get one, don't give it enough exercise, don't train it and it ends up biting someone. Also they have a genetic hip problem sometimes. For a most people Labs would serve them better plus they bark better like at anything all the time a car coming from a mile away perceptive.

That's because labs are usually stupid and aggressive. Shepards are usually smart and sociable (if they get sufficient exercise). Shepards bond strongly with their person, labs wake up to a new world every five minutes.

Are you kidding me? They require 300% more time spent training than other dogs, but they aren't stupid.
Now Goldens, stupid yet instinctively clever. Perfect for kids and young families though.

Goldens are great with kids. I wouldn't trust a white, yellow, or chocolate lab anywhere near children.

I approve.

Have any for watching your goats or other herd animals?

Yes, I have one. I'm looking for male so I can breed them, else a karakachan male (to breed with), else 2 or 3 younger ones. I just finished fencing in a huge area for the goats and llamas, the llamas themselves are guard animals, but dogs generally don't come too close to our yard thanks to the bark: "my space, keep out." Other than the occasional barking at dogs in the area, and cars going by, she looks happy 100% of the time.

One of the things I love about Pyrs is that they wait for trouble to come to them. They never go after another dog or person until they get too close. Shepherds will take off after anything they see or smell.

Man you're one bad mofo. Killing deer 100 yards away with a high powered rifle takes a bad ass. LMK when you kill a grizzly bear with a hunting knife.
