If I'm understanding this correctly, you're rebuilding your life after a struggle with addiction, mental health, or both? If that is the case, congratulations and continued recovery to you. Of course I am partial to American akitas, but I wouldn't recommend them for a first-time owner. They can be very challenging dogs. Best for first timers on the image (my opinion only): Best:. Golden, German shepherd, Bernese, Newfie, Great Dane, Bloodhound, Poodle. Good: Schnauzer, Rott, Mastiffs. Not great first dogs but you will love them anyway: Corso, Mal, Akita Not familiar enough with the Pyr shepherd temperament to mention it

Pitbulls make both great pets and great sex partners too, they are good at oral and vaginal, if you are lucky then anal too, but make sure to get a calm one because the more active ones can be a handful
