What's your fantasy impractical/obscure dog breed?

[JesusInTheCabbageVan]

Just saw these on a wildlife documentary and I want one so much! It would almost certainly trash my house and rip my face off, but... so pretty.

a dandie din month. or kerry blue

dandie dinmont. that should say

God, no that looks awful!!
I like the otter hound.

@toomanyspiderplants both of those look like something I'd dust shelves with.

French bulldog, but I just can't support the breeding of flat face dogs

Saw painted dogs at a zoo. Spoke to the keeper - I asked what would happen if he went in. In 6 mins his body would be bones he said..

They are still my favourite..
The only dog off the canine trees that has never had a 'relationship' with a human..

Puli

I’d love an Afghan hound

@notacooldad granted its face is pretty ugly, but a sufficiently eye-catching collar could work wonders.

@Sunnydaysstillhere well I like a challenge I could call it Bitey McNightmareFace.

Xolo hairless, a big one

A bloodhound.

Many of you like dog breeds that could double as some form of cleaning equipment.

@elephantontheroofeatingcake nice. Very nice.

@Pelleas I saw a bloodhound once IRL. I was out for a run and had to take a detour so I could stroke it

Is that a good thing?

I do think they are lovely dogs, but they need too much exercise to be practical for me - plus they're a bit large for my house!

@toomanyspiderplants actually, yes. I spent ages today cleaning the tops of my kitchen cupboards - could just have dunked a puli in some bubble bath and then put it up there. It wouldn't be able to jump down, it's too high. It would just run back and forth in distress, cleaning as it went.

A maned wolf!

Or slightly less impractical but still not going to happen, a deerhound.

I have leonberger which are my fantasy breed. I always wanted one but it was a silly idea. Everything about them screams madness. Messy. Expensive. More hair than you can imagine. Weigh more than 60-70kgs. Can’t take them anywhere without being stopped by almost everyone. They even stop cars and people get out to meet them

But I do love my giant fluffy beasts and wouldn’t have anything else

@RedRiverHog OHMYGOD IT'S A SPIDERFOX!

@Bergerdog please, please post pics! I love Leonbergers 😍

Fantasy dog would be either a Leonberger or a Newfie - but I don’t think I could handle the hair...

Look!! Spiderfox!

I need to know how maned wolves eat or drink anything. They must have to do the splits?

Bernese Mountain Dog and a Newfoundland. I met some who pulled little carts, they were totally adorable.

Or a red setter called Rusty.

I don't think they'd fit in my car.

And I agree - need a pic of the leonberger.
