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!
