Typical large breeds and crosses in UK rescue include Labradors, German Shepherds, Huskies, Lurchers, Greyhounds and large crossbreeds. Energy varies hugely within large dogs, from a sofa-loving retired Greyhound to a high-drive working breed, so match the individual dog to your routine. The rescue or foster home can tell you a dog's real energy, manners and who it can live with before you commit.
