Range Trotters are the result of crossbreeding Orlov Trotters, Finnhorses, Welsh Cobs (section C & D) and Hanoverians. Later crosses of Quarter Horses, Paint and Appaloosas to gain color and to give a boost to their hardiness.With a height average of 13-15 hands, they're a hardy breed with characteristics for various disciplines.

Created for use as work, carriage and leisure riding horses originally, they now serve as long-distance range horses, such as work with Park Rangers and mounted officers.

Willing and eager personalities, most are quickly trained to be bombproof and therefore trusted mounts in all lines of work; some are being seen in local show jumping competitions, others are notably used in therapeutic sessions for their calm temperaments. Harness races and endurance trials are common for the breed, as they are able to sustain an extended trot without tire. Cross-Country competitions see some of the taller Trotters, but due to their cob lineage this is still uncommon.

Despite the variety of competitions and work these horses are being seen in, they are still famously skilled as endurance racers. Many competitors have chosen Range Trotters due to their tireless work ethic, as well as the ease in which they can be trained. Many have become champions in endurance trials, and they have quickly become a sought after breed for their natural ability.

This pup based trotter is inspired by my personal favorite breed, the Brittany! They are a sporting breed bred to hunt & retrieve birds, and are known to be loving family dogs with lots of energy.

To win this trotter, tell me which dog breed is your favorite and why!

Prompt: Honestly, it's a hard choice but I think I'm gonna have to go with Great Pyrenees! They are just so cute and squishy and fluffy! They also take there guarding job very seriously if they are guarding animals, like they were bred to do! They are part of a group of dog breeds called Livestock Guardian Dogs(LGD) and were actually originally bred to help guard sheep and goats in the Pyrenees Mountains separating France and Spain!!!

Prompt: hands down the dalmatian is my favourite dog breed. they are both highly intelligent and athletic, making them the perfect companion for me personally. i love training dogs to bring out the best of their potential, and hitting important learning millstones with them is just a bonus! as for their athleticism, dalmatians have great endurance and a working heritage which makes them the perfect companion for jogging, hiking, or biking- all things i love to do.
dalmatians are also incredibly adorable! i love their spotty coat so much. i get particularly excited when i see a brown dalmatian as they remind me of my late dalmatian bingo, who was by my side growing up <3

Prompt:
I am absolutely a cat guy, BUT, I do have a huge soft spot for any sort of bully mix. I love the look of the american pitbull especially and I have yet to meet one I didn't adore right off the bat. Wonky, lovable, big lugs of doofusness, pit mixes are the absolute epitome of orange cat behavior in a dog body <3
