Iām hesitant to let that dog around my girl. The way he is described in your link heās better looking than me and will steal her...Iām looking to get a dog to take hiking but I donāt want one of those conservative dogs. Any recommendation for a liberal or progressive dog breed that can hit the mountains with me?
Here are some choices but Iām unsure of their political leanings.

Go with a Carolina dog...
History:
When primitive humans migrated across the Bering land bridge from Asia into North America, they brought with them a primitive form of dog that were domesticated from Asian wolves thousands of years earlier. Skeletal and mummified remains of these dogs have been discovered alongside other artifacts belonging to the Southwest Indians and from there, they moved further into Central and South America and over to the eastern United States. Archaeologists discovered similar canine remains in ceremonial burials in the southeastern forests, denoting their companionship with Native Americans long before Europeans arrived.
Recent studies of free-ranging dogs of the Southeast and Southwest suggest a close ancestry and possible descent from these primitive companions based on appearance, behavior, and ecology. These free-ranging dogs were named Carolina Dogs by Dr. I. Lehr Brisbin, who initially made contact with the breed in the Southeast.
