Luckily they aren't associated with the chinks. They've been bred as guard dogs to take down wolves and scare off bears. Also they have a histoty of having developed naturally quite a bit in the Caucasus.
I haven't eaten much dog meat (knowingly - can't really vouch for the provenance of all the meat one has consumed, some of these places have been really dodgy). Which breed do you suggest is best for bbq?
Cocker Spaniel! Everyone had one when I was younger. One of my first pets was a dog of this breed, he looked a lot like this one:
The two dogs I have now? Same breed.
I also like beagles. I never had one, but my neighbor does, and I find funny that the dog only obeys me. With everyone else? He's an asshole, or pretends to be an idiot.
Growing up I always wanted a dog for pet and my only experience with dogs was when my family watched our friend and relatives dogs when they went on vacation or when they were moving and needed lodging.
If I were to adopt a dog today I would prefer a dog breed that was adapted to being outside and highly energetic to the point you would have to play with them for hours. I'll always cherish my friend's lap dogs, but I want something like a German Shepherd or Golden/Labrador Retrievers that were bred to work dogs but can be great family pets.
Grandpa always had golden retrievers and labs, they were good bois and definitely some of my favorites.
German Shepherds are loyal, protective, and aesthetic as fuck.
Corgis and Dachshunds are the best Small Bois.
Favorite doggo breed, though? Unironically Shiba Inu. Love me some shibes.
I know I might get flack for this, but pit bulls. My boyfriend has three of them, all rescues, and they are the best dogs I ever met. They get along great with small children and kittens. One lost a litter of puppies before they rescued her so she always mothers the kittens and cleans them.
Bloodhounds and Rottweilers. I find them pleasant, even though I used to have a Rottweiler which hated cats with a burning, fiery passion. Never really harmed anything else, though.

Nature vs. nurture. Even the calmest breeds can be blood-thirsty savages when subjected to long years of abuse or mishandling, so the opposite should also be true.
Best dog I've ever had was a collie, sweetest thing you could imagine. Also that good boy was a chick magnet, so many people would come over to compliment him.
Now I'd like to get a Czechoslovakian Vlack, but I can't find anyone selling them in the states, let alone my own state.
Schipperke is my favorite , wiki:A Schipperke (/ˈskɪpərkiː/; Dutch: [ˈsxɪpərkə]) is a small Belgianbreed of dog that originated in the early 16th century. There has been a long informal debate over whether this type of dog is a spitz or miniature sheepdog. In their home country of Belgium they are considered a small shepherd
