Finally, I can post!
Tonight is planned for my first time. We're thinking of using a white Boxer, intact. Other options are a chocolate or a black lab, also both intact. Provided everything works as expected, I'll be placing a report tomorrow or Saturday on how well the dog performed.
I know all three breeds have been covered, but there was no mention of sexual things. I'll unofficially make that my job. :blush:

Thanks so much for starting this thread. If anyone has more information of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, I'd love to hear it!

Well, my plan did not proceed as expected. While these are dogs that I technically own, they're being held by another person right now as I move. She's had them for around a month, and I was house-sitting for them when I decided to try my dogs.

Sadly, the Boxer had been too firmly taught to avoid the genital area. Not my doing, but hers. From what I understand, he was being a typical dog, trying to smell, and she trained him out of it. And unfortunately, both the Labs were not interested at the time. So, I remain a canine virgin. I hope to try again, with my fiance's full support, at the end of the month when we move into our house.

Thank you for sharing, I think these are one of the most beautiful dogs out there.

You mentioned that they were good around other dogs, is that any breed of dog or just other Huskies? Also, do you know how they interact with children? That's probably the most important concern for my household since we have infants.

I saw a Boxer go through a course once, for a local show. It was the most amazing thing, itt was SO well trained. I have never owned one but I was impressed with seeing that.

Also, I have to say that any male that knows what it wants and comes to get it . . drool . . is a definite attraction for me. :D

I have found this to be an unbelievably great thread. Thank you Southy for starting it soooo many years ago.

I just wanted to mention something about Labrador Retrievers. My best buddy who is my constant companion, and even sleeps on my bed, is a Choc Lab. One thing about him, and I have heard it from other owners of Labs, if he is not bathed at least every two weeks he acquires an offensive odor. And it has nothing to do with rolling in livestock droppings as I have my pasture well fenced off so that my Lab cannot get to it.

He gets 99% of his food from quality dry dog food, only once in a great while does he get anything else. And he sheds horribly, year round. I keep him groomed with a shedding brush as well as regular bathing for the odor. AND he is very good about keeping himself clean. That is a favorite activity of his, cleaning himself, especially his feet. He is a regular foot groomer.

The attached photo shows how shiny his coat is. He believes the couch is his, plus he still believes in being a lap dog while weighing in a little over 80 pounds.
