If your unit could take a K9 mascot on deployment, what breed should they select?

When I was in, we said if we got deployed, that we'd take a German Shepherd, that's what a majority of the group wanted, thank you for the great share brother SFC Melvin Brandenburg

Deploying with mascots is a long left behind tradition for a reason. This isn't Crimson Tide. It just creates one more thing that costs money without any real pay off. I think they serve a purpose in Garrison and Stateside for morale. PR and the like but on deployment it just seems like a bad idea that will only get worse over time.
