The Outdoor Man's Sidekick: Australian Shepherd
It's the new: Border collie
Potential names: Patch, Bear, Patagonia
Preferred mode of transportation: Vintage Land Rover Defender

There's a reason Aussies are known as "Velcro dogs"—the devoted breed will happily attach itself to your hip and follow wherever you go, whether it's a brisk walk around Bonnaroo or the entire Appalachian Trail. The ranchers who bred them would ask the dogs to babysit in a pinch; they're born to herd and don't care whether it's cows or rowdy toddlers that they're keeping in line. They're also tireless, intelligent, and, like many of their owners, awesome at Frisbee. The Aussie is one of the only breeds you can actually take mountain biking—they have no problem keeping up and aren't dumb enough to jump in front of your bike or try to eat the tires. All that energy and athleticism can make them maddeningly hyperactive, so be sure you have an acre or forty of open space and that you train your Aussie early.

A Big- Dog for a Big Man: Bullmastiff
It's the new: Doberman pinscher
Potential names: Anything but Spike
Required accessory: Dedicated slobber towel

Rottweilers are great if you get your kicks frightening small children. But if you want an awe-inspiring dog that will also make women go "Aww!" this is your breed. Centuries ago, British gamekeepers mixed the lumbering mastiff with the squat, tough English bulldog to create the bullmastiff, a canine bounty hunter adept at tracking and subduing poachers without tearing them to bits. They could treat a human like a chew toy, but that's not their style; bullmastiffs are docile, slobbery teddy bears at heart. Oddly enough, given their size, they make great apartment dogs. A male can easily reach 130 pounds, but the breed doesn't need much space or exercise, so look elsewhere for a running buddy.

The Popped Collar of Canines: Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier
It's the new: Portuguese water dog
Potential names: Errol, Tuffy, Lord Byron von Nottingsworth III
Summers on: Nantucket; Mustique; the yacht

There are few options for the man who's allergic to dogs, and fewer still if he wants a dog with the silky blond locks of an SMU Tri-Delt but simply can't tolerate any shedding on his antique Persian carpets. For that man, there's the wheaten—a hypoallergenic Irish breed that, despite its pageant looks, was developed for fox and badger hunting. These days you'll find them mostly on the manicured lawns of country estates, where the only things they chase are German luxury sedans. Ignore the terrier in the name—they're nothing like their hyperactive, ankle-biting cousins. Wheatens are fun-loving and lively but also laid-back, which means they're just as happy at your country home as in your city pied-à-terre. That flaxen hair does require regular brushing—but that's what the help is for.

The Downtown Dog: Brussels Griffon
It's the new: French bulldog
Potential names: Chewie, Jean-Pierre, Pee-wee
Preferred mode of transportation: Your man bag

The Brussels griffon is not only the perfect size for apartment life; it's genetically engineered for the big city, having been bred by cab drivers to keep rats out of stables, back when taxis were literally horse-powered. Even now the breed will earn its keep by hunting down rodents, if your neighborhood is still, you know, "bohemian." Brussels griffons make better roommates than most people on Craigslist—they'll get along just fine with your girlfriend's cat, require very little grooming, and despite being ballsy rat-assassins, aren't as yippy and feisty as their size would lead you to believe. Like many urbanites, the Brussels can get moody and high-strung when bored, so keep yours entertained. Take it out to brunch, toss the ball around the loft, or dress the Ewok-faced canine in a leather vest and reenact Return of the Jedi.

potential names:  chewie, pongo, rosebud (names already chosen by our 9-year-old, huhuhu), hubag, bugsay, fr chic, buwadsanga, bolbuhol, etc., lorenzo would have been great but this name is already taken by a very popular cat and a talkative parrot). ;D

I enjoy reading this post
As I sip my hot roast

Dogs are enjoyable
But sadly they make me sneezable

Yet there's hope with the Wheaton Terrier
If only I know to get it where

;D

Keeping a dog dirty is highly advisable
So that it will not appear to be so eatable...

bwahahaha hadloka-able!


One's ability to feed a dog daily is respectable
It keeps wife, son, daughter malleable

But be careful not to feed too much kai di ma tobo
Hubag might come and make him adobo....

dogs as adobo are despicable
may the humans be punishable.

If dogs as adobo are despicable
How about, my cats-and-dogs loverable,
Ordering frog legs--they are delectable
And are definitely sumsomanable...
