Great Pryenees, Maremma or Antolian Shepherd

I like all those, but I would prefer the Anatolian because of the shorter hair. For an outside dog I think it would be way harder to keep up with their coat.

This is Brownie. I have shown her before. She is a great little dog and appears healthy in every way except she has a chronic cough. The cough started about 6 months ago. At this time we do not have the money to afford the veterinarian. Any suggestions? It is not life threatening or something that's spreads-contagious.

I don’t understand wanting 6 dogs. I used to be that way, but I’ve gotten wiser

I'm sorry. Could you at least call the vet? My vet is very helpful over the phone and will answer questions to help guide me without me having to take my animals in. Maybe just describe symptoms and ask if they think it is something to worry about. Is she on heart worm preventative?

He has been treated for heartworms. That was our first thought.
