What breed do you think would be best for a service dog?

Question

I have type one diabetes and want to get a service dog before I leave for college. What breed do you all think would be best and why? Please comment with suggestions!!

Answer

The breed doesn’t matter. A service dog is trained beyond their breed. The individual dog matters more than the breed; there are mutts perfectly equipped to be a SD, and there are pure bred German shepherd dogs that don’t have the skills.

Answer

you can easily go to a shelter and rescue a dog from death and have a specialized dog trainer come train the dog (that's what I did)

Mines an Alaskan Malamute/German Shepard. She's very stubborn but very loyal. Little hard to train but she'll be getting her service uniform in the spring.

Answer

I have two germans and adore them. they're ridiculously smart

Answer

I picked Australian Shepherd only because I’m biased 🐶❤️

Answer

I have a German Shepherd, he’s a service dog for my husband in the Army. So cute & such smart dogs!

Answer

I agree that it is all in the training and temperament of the dog. A mix breed can be just as capable as a pure bred!!!

Answer

It’s not about the breed. It about the temperament and training of the dog.

Answer

Lab.
