What kind of dog is this?

actually...big dogs can do really well in apartments...they often have less indoor energy...they need long walks and dog parks, but lots of them are couch potatoes....my papillons (7 lbs each) are always on the move; my collie snoozes. Greyhounds...run for 1/2 hour, sleep 23.5....

Right. Depending on the breed. Some Mastiffs consider walking across the living room from the couch to the chair to be aerobic!

Right - I've been told Great Danes actually are good "old-lady dogs" as they need a lot of rest and are quite happy stalking around in a dignified and leisurely manner on walks

(I've always liked Great Danes).

I agree about big dogs in apartments! It's totally do able depending both on the breed and on the commitment of the owner.

I had a shephard/dobie mix for 12 years who went from apartment to apartment with me. It was wonderful because it forced me to be out and active on a regular basis because she needed it. Walks, runs, dog parks (in her younger days), you name it!

In fact, when I finally got married and bought a house with a yard, she had no interest in it. She just wanted to be where I was, even if it was watching football.

I had a Mastiff AND a Newfie/Bernese mix, and they both were big, lazy loofs. Whether I was in a big house or a 1-bedroom apartment, they didn't care. The Newfie just slept in a corner of a closet, and the Mastiff just stayed right under my feet. Long walks, yeah, but happiest just being snuggled near me.

Jeez, I miss them both.

based on the brindle coloring, i would say there is some mastiff/bullmastiff/dane mixed in. cute!

Hey guys! It says right next to the photo that it is a Newfie/Plott mix.

The Plott is newly recognized by the AKC but as it is one of the coonhounds there is no way I'd coop it up in an apartment. They love to tree animals and bay.

They are very handsome dogs. I'm not the type that could deal with the coon hound personality. Just not me.

awwwww! What a great face! And such a pretty dog. Unusual too. Are you thinking about adopting this dog?

If she's at the adoption event I do believe I'll have a look at her. I think she's intriguing and Heinz Hounds are absolutely the best.

I have a Dane and he loves to laze around indoors.

Doggie Porn!

Hmmm...to me, she looks like Angela Rogers, my first girlfriend.

Of course, this is before she lost her front teeth in 1st grade.

Their guess is Newfie/Plotthound but the description says they really don't know. I don't see the Plott in her but Newfie is a definite yes.

I have a Dane and he loves to laze around indoors. He also takes a daily run around the yard and do goofy Dane moves. He's not the most graceful of dogs but very much the clown! Right now he's snoring on the couch. LOL

Is that a cat in the lower right corner, making a comment on the dane's sleeping

Yeah...the baying could get obnoxious but hounds are so mellow! Still, I seriously doubt its Plott Hound in there....more mastiff/pitbull I'd bet...
She's terrific looking either way!

[7rider]

I think she's a Heinz.....as in "57 Varieties"!

She is a cutie, and I must stay off that PetFinder site as much as possible, because I want to take them ALL home!
