Good morning let me say thank you for thinking far enough ahead to
ask this ? before making a decision abot an animal. And I appreciate
the paramiters you’ve set and answering within those there can be
only one breed and that is an Old English Sheepdog I’ve personally owned 3 of these dogs and aside from being very athletic they are
one of the smartest breeds I’ve encountered. and in reference to shedding they have no dander and that’s what causes adog to shed
so if they shed at all it’s only large clumps easy to pick up but even then shedding is quite minimal and those are the pros
the only con is concern for the hips.Please be sure to purchase
your new friend only from a reputible breeder and expect to pay
between 500-700 for such a puppy.If they want more than that ask for references from others who have purchased puppies in the past. The only reason not to walk away from a high price tag
is that these dogs are the ultimate babe magnet. Well I hope this letter helps. P.S ask if the dogs hips have been certified,that’s important. happy hiking…

A lab or a blue healer. Labs are very active and if you train them they are very easy to walk with you. Blue Healers are also very active and they listen extremely well... plus they are small and easy to transport.

I would say a German Sheppard would be an excellent dog for that. Fisrt of all they are one of the smartest breeds and can be easily trained. Second they are strong and have excellent endurance. So caring some light weight things on their backs shouldn't be a problem. Lastly they are excellent protectors. If you were hiking and came across a Moutain Lion, Wolf, Stray dogs etc. they become fierce protectors. A lab or retriever are not going to be the protector a German Sheppard will be. Labs and Retrievers are hunting dogs not guard dogs like a German Sheppard. I would definitely say a German Sheppard would be your best bet. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

I think the best dog would be a boxer there are fun loving great with kids and VERY energetic they are also love to jump and are built to jump. With my boxer i walk in the woulds and she will follow and jump over any thing or i can let her lead and show me the easiest route and she is excited every time and she is 9 years old which is pretty old

I would recommend any dog in the sporting, working or terrier group. They are usually the most high energy breeds. Go to akc.org and dogbreedinfo.com for more info on each breed. Good luck and I hope this helps!
