YOUR LAST DOG

[keepitcovert 842]

I am what most would consider an old fart now, i have two dogs now aged 10 and 12 both have earned their retirement, and decimated the local rabbit population, but i cant see myself not owning a working dog. So if you were in my situation what dog would you go for. Only a question out of interest because i already know what i will do. But being without a dog is unthinkable to me. Now ive got time on my hands i feel like taking a pup and training to the highest standard that i could achieve, something i have tried to do with varying success what would be your goal with your last dog and what breed.

I'd get a bull breed,love their owner and happy to lay about when off duty.I wouldn't have a working terrier or stock dog,you'd never keep up with them.

A lurcher, started life with one an would love to end life with one about, even if it was just a well trained pet like ye say, but ye be hard pushed to find a more versatile type a dog mate an always content with a spot on couch or by fire 

  yeh , they take some beating, nice lurcher x lurcher  with good drop of bull in the mix 24-25in 65lb , and i might go for a bitch for a change  , loyal, clever, good temps and most lurchers are healthy , being hybrids .

Thought about a whippet, but did think about one of these bushing type cross breeds but training it to hunt edible like rabbit /squirrel or feather.
