i will die for dog. except the wild dogs my neighbours let poo poo all over our lawn. im pretty sure they stole my slipper too. all attempts at negotiating with the wild dogs has been futile. to combat the wild dog menace i adopted a great dane whos mountains of poo poo are enough to scare anyone away. it has worked so far im guessing because i have not lost anymore slippers.

Is there a version of this dog that looks similar but scaled up considerably? A family friend had one like that and he was very gentle and nice to me as a bab.

I have a little white dog that we rescued from a pound after she was picked up wandering around the projects. She’s old as hell, half blind, missing teeth but is the sweetest, most well behaved dog I’ve ever had. The only time she barks is when my other two big dogs are barking; she never instigates. Her tail is always wagging, she is always happy. No matter how bad of a day I’m having it’s impossible to look at this face and not smile.

With the over breeding of pitbulls most of my friends who rescue end up with pits. I'd say I've had 95% positive experiences with killer breeds. Like I can't remember the last time I met even a strange bully that wasn't full of love. I meet more owners claiming that their dog is a trained murderer badass but I know the truth, they just want some pets. madamimadam posted:all dogs are good dogs and disliking dogs is a pretty strong indicator that you suck. here’s a good dog.

I am a dog. I look like a human. I can type words on a keyboard like right now. But, because I am a dog, I cannot speak. If you try to talk to me in real life, I will only be able to communicate in dog sniffs.

With dogs being basically a renewable resource and perpetually in surplus, why would you get one that sees toddlers as prey*? It's not like you're saving a doggy life; the one you didn't adopt gets put down instead. *Unless you actually are hunting toddlers, in which case right tool for the job fair play.

That's NOT a dog. Small "dogs" are even lower than cats to these dog elitists

My aunt/cousin had a Pomeranian who went wild over me when I came over to visit because after they got a Chihuahua puppy, nobody paid attention to her anymore. I showered her in attention and pets when I showed up. It was clear nobody made any attempt to train her out of her "bark at everyone" habit except me and this cool rear end lady cloud dog loved me for it. I don't own a dog because I don't have the space in a basement apartment with an all-brick back-yard but I would if I could. Dogs, when you can train them properly and have the space for them, totally rule and this is from a dedicated cat person. If I had the space, I would have a puppy and a kitty and the kitty would think it was a puppy and the puppy would think it was a kitty and they would have the best lives ever. But I don't so I have a low-maintenance cat that's afraid of "outside". Get a dog that you have the space for; some dogs are good apartment dogs, some are not. If you have the space to roam, get whatever dog you want and enjoy ur cool dog life. If not don't make one suffer in limited space and just get a cat or a hamster or something.

Poms are far and away the best small dog imo, if you train them good. They're brave, funny, good natured, smart, ridiculously fluffy and think they're about four times the size they are. Also watching a well groomed pom run at any speed is one of the most delightful experiences a human being can have. tapapapapapap

purebreeding is mostly fine, there are lots of really great breeds out there worth protecting and not everything needs to be a pitbull mix just try to have some ethical standards and mix in some outside blood from a similar breed from time to time so you don't end up with the british royal family

Who are all the hosed up people that insist on mixing pitbulls with everything? Those people are way more hosed than pure-breeders, who are at least supposed to breed out genetic deficiencies these days. But most hosed up of all are the people who cut off they dog's own tail. You know how dogs are supposed to have a long waggly thing that knocks over everything? Well apparently Americans just cut it off. I was watching some "happy dog videos" and like surely half of them just had a hosed up stump where a glorious tail should have been. WTF man! Dogs need their tails to do dog stuff with.

Purebreeders do it without anesthesia too, because in order to see a living thing as a high value commodity you have to already be a piece of poo poo.

small time purebreeders is the best possible source of dogs actually, especially the ones that post every single thing they do on facebook and put a ton of energy into socializing each puppy and make potential buyers go through a lengthy and brutal interrogation before they decide if you are even worthy of owning a dog unfortunately all the unworthy idiots have tons of alternative sources like puppy mills, pet stores, craigslist or just stealing them

If you cut off a dog’s tail without a good reason other than for medical you should have your tongue cut out so you also can no longer communicate properly.

Pugs of dubious quality and the like. I like that dog, though. She wasn't yappy, liked to chill out when I walked her and she'd mostly just spawn out of nowhere to stare at you.
