Large dog breeds with males significantly more likely to be frisky?

Apologies if this has already been asked and answered, I didn't see a post that asks the same sort of question tho.

I'm planning out changes in my life that will put me in a position to raise a new dog with good space and privacy. I adore my current dog and will continue to cherish the many years we'll continue to have together, but he's at an age where it's clear that his lack of interest in playing with me won't change, so that's a part of why I want to add a dog to our pack. Other reasons are to give my boy some company during work days, and that dogs are great and more must be better to a point, lol.

Is there any consensus on which breeds or breed mixes are more likely than others to be interested in playing with humans, if at all? I know it's always a roll of the dice, but if I do grow our family I really would like to have a boy that I can share a physical bond with.


Some details on my preferences:
Males only
I'm happy to just give handjobs, I don't know if my butt could ever handle a knot, lmao.
Short or medium length fur preferred
Chill and manageable but still smart with strong individual personalities
Lifespan longer than the tragically short average lifespan of Great Danes
No hanging drooly saggy jowls


I suppose I could just get a shep like one in every two other zoos out there, lol. But I'm eager to hear if there are any stats or at least a number of anecdotes!
 
Try to interact with the largest number of dogs whose breeds seem pretty to you. IMHO, only this will give you some insight. No tips on the internet. You must feel and choose for yourself.
I think this is not the answer that you wanted to hear, but I suspect that you will be provided with advice on the purchase of any breed here without me. =)
 
I have been thinking about this a lot myself, and I would have to say Ive landed on one. When life allows it ive basically decided on a giant schnauzer. They have a good drive and their wire coat really makes shedding less of an issue. I think they're fantastically handsome pups, regal and proud... So thats my input, Black Giant schnauzer.
 
Broholmer.

But make sure to go to a reputable breeder, who has all the papers and health testings done.
This breed is often mixed with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, which is not good at all sice those two breeds temperaments are not compatible at all and will mostly lead to a big ass dog, that likes to go on hunts all by itself. And it prevents you from supporting puppy mills or backyard breeders.
 
Visit a dog show. Not one of the high ranked ones, because the participants are stressed there and do not have time to talk. Sthe smaller local ones are more relaxed. Get in talk with the dogs you feel interested in and not least their owners. Hear some opinions and experience with the breed. As for mixes, knowing the pure breeds still helps. If you could not live with the pure breeds of any breed that seems dominant in a mix, that mix would not be something for you.
 
Broholmer is indeed a good suggestion!
Some other structurally sound dogs which might be frisky; dalmatian, rottweiler (look for a longer snout), you can even look for a hunting dog which has been rejected because he's not good for hunting, and a labrador is a very safe bet for a fun pal up to do everything fun with you.
I suggest you go and check out dog shows and talk to everyone attending.. after this whole covid thing dies down
 
I really dont think sex drive is inherited and therefore a breed matter. My boys dad was a randy fucker who reliably tried violating me every visit and my boy himself who's now 18 months old does get pushy too, but controllably and only once a week tops. Easy to get him in the mood though, probably because hes balls deep in puberty.
