A Rhodesian Ridgeback x mastiff.
He makes a great lorry guard dog.
He is also a good colour match for the horse (unintentional I should add)
 
I have an English bull terrier but we have lots of varieties down the yard, cockers, beagles, springers, boxers etc :-)

I have a 6 month old papillon (phalene-dropped ears), so not your typical horse owners dog! She's small and fluffy, adores the horses (tries to lick my pony's nose, which he doesn't appreciate so I have to keep an eye on) and is generally a wonderful little dog, although she does need lots of coats as she really feels the cold. Papillons are fabulous, lively little dogs, it's funny that more people don't have them really.
 
I currently have a boxer and two staffies bit have also had in past jack Russell's , greyhound, lurcher

Current bunch

My weimaraner and weimaraner cross are rubbish yard dogs. They disappear at the sniff of anything interesting and cause all kinds of trouble. I wouldn't take them within half a mile of a horse, for fear of what they would do.

My sister's boxers are the best yard dogs I know at the moment and they hang out with a wide variety of mutts and terriers where she keeps her horses.

My best dog was a gsd x rottweiler, who was perfect on the roads and would trot ahead of me on hacks leading the way past horse eating monsters in the hedge and through any puddles that had crocodiles. He never ran under or behind a horse and contented himself with eating the muck heap and any hoof trimmings he could find. Now I have my two current maniacs who have no road sense at all, I wonder if I dreamt him?
 
Love this thread! I have a GSP who is a very proud companion when i'm out hacking, he'll happily trot along beside us the whole time, looking out for any danger and taking the lead if there's anything scary in the bushes.

I also have a beddlingston terrier x who is nuts and has no horse sense at all. Plus he'll disappear at the whif of a dear/rabbit/potential friend and then i have to search for him until he decides to head home.
