What is the most recommended large dog breed?
My mom is planning on getting a dog but we don't know which to choose from. We're looking for an easy to take care of breed. Short-haired for instance...
Big but friendly type of dog...

St. Bernard perhaps. Aside from its friendly feature it also grows about 300pounds plus. It is a short haired dog. Very friendly and nice. A good breed.
Labs and Golden Retrievers make awesome family dogs, friendly affectionate and playful. Personally i like Rottweilers, they are just like big cuddly bears with loads of personality but require a lot of training and socializing.
The best dog’s are Labs!!!!!!!
A Labrador(not golden or flat-haired), has short hair, their big and very friendly. Their also very laid back, and easy to train.
oohh get a german sherpard… those are the best… in my opinion of course…
basically any short haired large breed dog will be friendly if you raise it right. you have to be ready to socialize it almost everyday… my sister did the mistake of barely ever taking her german shepard out so now she barks at all dogs and every human that is near her.
get a mastiff, i take care of one at the petshotel i work with… all she wants is for me to sit with her and hug her.
do your research.
i believe it’ s a golden retriever
labs are really nice dogs, too
labs are short haired and usually happy to please their owners. you can find this description of dog a thousand times over at any shelter or rescue group. i would start there. any dog is not easy to take care of. they require lots of time money and work. you need to make sure you can provide this. average puppy care for the first year with vaccines, flea and heartworm preventative and a spay or neuter can run on average of $600-$1000 depending on vet costs in your area. also you need to walk this dog at least twice a day, and strenous walks where they are walking and not wandering around pulling you. crate training to help with housebreaking and keeping the pup safe when you can’t be with them is a must. feeding a premium puppy food and providing safe toys for them to chew on also. plus you need to have a trainer or training mether in place as welll as a semi strict schedule for the pup to be placed on as it arrives. if you carefully plan out feeding, drinking, exercise, playtimes and potty breaks it makes the dog or puppy feel more secure and happy and knows what is expected of it. plus it helps with potty training if you have an idea when the dog should need to go. almost any dog can be fun and friendly if the right amount of time and effort is put into the training. good luck.
Go to your local animal shelter and tell them you desire to adopt a large but friendly, short-haired dog. Im sure there are a plenty to fall in love with!
Oh, you want a rotty then. They are short haired and easy to take care of. They feed themselves.
yellow labs are easy to take care of … black labs aren’t that social able … neither are golden retrievers … i have a beagle because beagles normally would travel in hunting pacts so they’re used to all the friendliness … Dalmatians are NOT good to have if you want a friendly dog that you can play with … beagles are very easy to take care of … I’ve never taken my dog in for grooming … all you have to do is give it it’s regular bath brush it clip it’s nails every once in a while and they’re fine … i take mine out for 2 walks .. one in the evening and one at night … he sleeps in my room on the bed and he doesn’t smell bad … i don’t like big dogs because they like to be outside and dirty and the SMELL !!!! and they’re slobbery and gross … beagles are the best dogs …
If you want a dog thats generally friendly to everyone when socialized properly, then a Labrador (as it has short hair and low maintenance compared with a Golden Retriever) is a breed to seriously consider. They are big goof balls of dogs and generally have very nice temperaments, are friendly to everyone and literally eat everything and anything put in front of them. They are also very smart and are easily trained.
Apparently, their stomachs still function for 24 hours after they die.
Any dog will be friendly if it is well socialized as a puppy, take it out often & expose your pup to new situations & new people. I believe people & dog just kind of ‘find’ each other. Personally, we love our 3 german shepherds. But, to each his/her own. There are many deserving dogs at shelters, you can start there. Good luck!
How big is big. A huge but awesome dog is a Great Dane.
All dogs must be socialized, but large dogs especially need to be introduced to a variety of people and situations with care. Keep in mind that many giant breeds are droolers. Another cool large breed to consider is the Bouvier Des Flandres. This breed is not short-haired but have got a lot of personality. The breed comes from a herding background so it does well with obedience training.
dalmations and huskys r quite a good choice but in state of a large dog why don u get a small breed like a maltese its very easy to take care of maltese i know because i keep one off them their hair won’t drop the only think bad about them is they r very fussy about food
Go to a shelter. Labs or Lab mixes are great dogs. But "easy to take care of"? All dogs require quite a bit of time – especially bigger dogs. They need daily walking, flea preventative, regular vet visits and quality food. Short-hair doesn’t always mean that they shed less. I have a friend with an American Bulldog who’s hair is all over everything while my Newf/Lab mix doesn’t shed nearly as much. It could be, though, that my dog eats much better quality foods than the other dog which means a healthier coat and less shedding.
I have a lab. Short haired dogs do shed also. He is easy to train and eager to please but he requires a lot of exercise. they also do not like to be left alone. Get some books from the library about the dogs you are considering and read up on them before hand.
Do a lot of reasearch on large and giant Breed dogs.
You need to find the dog that suits your life style.
Germans shead a lot and mastifs drool and slobber and can ruin your home. I have a roman cane corso witch is a giant breed and a dry mouth, they do not really shead either. Remember big dogs require more money to feed and to take care of so be prepared. Make a list of the dogs you like and then do the reasearch and make a list of pros and cons, that is how I new my cane corso was for me and my family in every way.
Good Luck
