I think we want something as close to Sumlin as possible. Therefore I vote Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I think we should search local animal shelters for collie/sheltie looking mutts. It would be good bull to rescue an animal and we don't need some high bred dog. Bring back the mutts!

a German Shepherd would be awesome
what could possibly go wrong...

Yep because a sissy collie makes them look so much better.

The only dogs in the conversation are
1. Mutts
2. Collies
3. Working dogs such as Dobermans and German Shepherds

How about something that doesn't require our CTs to spend all morning on game day brushing her hair. Seriously.

No, because you are afraid of somebody associating Texas A&M Corps of Cadets with what you are implying just because they are in khakis, have shaved heads, and would have a german shepherd.
You're apparently a wussy and the kind that would kowtow to political correctness so the REALLY STUPID PEOPLE wouldn't say REALLY STUPID THINGS about Texas A&M.
I could give a rat's ass whether it's a collie or not- just fine with me. though I would prefer a mutt.

quote:
The Airedale was extensively used in World War I to carry messages to soldiers behind enemy lines and transport mail. They were also used by the Red Cross to find wounded soldiers on the battlefield. There are numerous tales of Airedales delivering their messages despite terrible injury. An Airedale named 'Jack' ran through half a mile of enemy fire, with a message attached within his collar. He arrived at headquarters with his jaw broken and one leg badly splintered, and right after he delivered the message, he dropped dead in front of its recipient.

German Shepard is a stupid idea, even worse than the stupid mutt idea.

There is no reason under the sun, not a single one, not even part of one, to justify using anything other than a Rough Collie as the next Reveille.
