A friend of mine has Boerboels. They’re a guard dog breed that apparently makes a very good pet while still looking big and scary. That being said, like Fluffycrow said, you’re unlikely to find a breeder of any breed who’s willing to sell a puppy with in a *couple months.* Most ethical breeders have waitlists on their dogs.

Have they starting abusing you yet?

No, they don't really do much besides walk down to the chicken trailer park

Oh they look like mastiffs!

That or they just don't breed that often

She uses one as her mobility aid service dog. A very cool and often overlooked breed. Absolutely built like a tank too.

And then there's me with my chihuahuas

Advice needed.
For a few weeks, I've been thinking about the next dog I want to add. I've been doing research on the different working breeds(Their needs, work, etc) and looking on the AKC Marketplace. A few days ago, I decided that I would really love to get a puppy possibly in the next couple months once I had a stable job so that I can make sure I can take care of all the needs(food, vet, etc).
There's just one problem... I still live with my family and my dad has already stated after our current dogs pass from old age, he doesn't want any more dogs.
I know that I'm an adult but since I still live with my family, I respect if my dad approves of certain stuff.
Is there a good way to bring this up to him and possibly convince him to allow me to get a puppy by the end of the year?

You could always ask why they don't want another dog. If it's for heartbreak reasons (like they don't want to go through another loss) they will usually come around because they'll miss having one around.
I know I need a break after these dogs pass. We have three, two huskies and a cattle dog. I'm hoping by the time they do we will have moved out (currently living with my dad and brothers plus my spouse and our two younglings). But my dad and brothers have already talked about getting another even though my spouse and I have requested a break from having pets for awhile. (Ignoring like fish or something). It's a lot for our household currently. Especially when the two bitches don't like each other and have to be separated.
So I think getting an understanding on their part for why they don't want another dog is good.

I like the different colors. Only thing I wasn't a fan of when I looked at their kennel page was that they were pretty low on "good woth other dogs", and since I want like 2-4 dogs, I have to keep that in mind.

Plus I'm still iffy on large dogs, I'm working on it, but when a dog weighs that much more than me, it's pretty scary for me.

At least I've got at least 3 or so years before I can even start thinking about seriously looking

She has two of them she keeps together. Maybe it depends on the bloodline and how you expose them as a puppy? I think they’re just pretty neat and it’s probably not a dog I’d own personally either. I’m happy with my awful behaved rescue mutts

Or maybe as long as they don't grow up as the only dog, and then be introduced? Maybe if they grow up with another dog present, they are more tolerant?
