What kind of dog do you own?

I have a long hair 10 month old Dashhound named Diesel, and a 4 month old Shepperd lab mix named Baley. Diesel tries to hump everything and digs massive holes in my yard and Baley chews the shit out of everything. We love them to death and wouldn't have it any other way. GOOD THREAD!

I'll just enjoy other peoples dogs.

I don't like cleaning up pet hair. And I have all hardwood floors so they'd be constantly busting their face on walls anyway.

AZBrowns

Pitbull / German Shepherd mix. He's a very lovable dog who is also out of his damn mind at the same time.

Our German Shorthair died of old age 2 years ago. We might pick up another or a Boxer next year.

I don't know if the owners never trained them or what, but every single boxer I've ever been around has been the absolute DUMBEST dog I've witnessed.

I mean.. walk into walls dumb.

Is it because they're so inbred?

I'm guessing my dog wouldn't get along with yours. As it original purpose was to hunt down and kill wolves.
have your neighbors give me a call.

j/k- they sound challenging.

what you got, a Kangal? I'm thinking they're more of a protective dog than a hunter though. They'll fight wolves to the death.

I'm not sure where they rank on dumbness. I've heard they're great with people as well as being socialble. Here's a list which agrees with some I've seen before, although I was surprised about the beagle being on there: http://doggies.com/blog/2008/06/20/dumbest-dogs/

Legacy Fan

100 lb black lab, Bud. He really cramps the hell out of the Duckblind, but is the best dog I've ever owned. Great demeanor, & great around my kids. Can ruin your day if he needs to though.

The dirt on his nose was from chasing a black racer snake into his hole. He got it.

Mark O

16 year old Cocker Spaniel who is nearing the end...and we are going tomorrow morning to adopt a 10 month old Golden Retriever/German Shepherd mix...

Dawgstucknpa

I have a nine year old Pug-mix. He is not a Puggle, but looks like one. He is very neurotic. Wakes me in the middle of the night to piss on my garden and chase rabbits feeding on the clover.

Farang

Molson and Happy

I have friends with Pugs and they tell me they are 80% stubborn and 20% asshole.

That is close to the truth. They are 90% hog and 10% jerk

We have a two year old Shetland Sheepdog named Dasher. The trophy he won was for best purebred at a contest the local animal shelter had for a fundraiser. It's more of a joke because it's actually a leftover dancing trophy a local dance school donated, but my wife still likes to call him our award winning dog.

calfoxwc

85 lb Old English Sheepdog, probably also Airedale terrier.

He was a stray at 5 months, had long legs and big feet, and was so smart, when I took him to puppy training,

the instructor took me aside and said "you have a very, very special, super intelligent dog there. He has been learning

all these tricks by watching the other dogs. He's amazing."

His favorite toy was a soft vinyl Browns football.

So, we named him Bernie Kosar.

He's eight years old now. We lost out one very old kitty to diabetes after years of that..

and some months later we got a new calico kitten from an old friend.

When we brought her home, Bernie whined for her to be let out. Now, she's grown a little, but Bernie

is her big brother. She runs up her cat tree, runs back down, runs over and boxes Bernie's nose, then scampers

back up her tree.

Bernie gets a silly look on his face like "what the heck? GGG", and watches.

Once though, she took a flying leap off the couch, and landed on his tail, and nailed him a bit with ner claws.

Then Bernie jumps up, wheels around, and barked at her.

She disappeared out of the room, and a minute later, she ran back in and laid down in front of him. So,

he laid back down, and she kept inching forward and gently touching his paws...

Life is fun around here, and a wonderful pup is a very best friend.

I have a 6 year old Sarplaninac. Not my dog pictured here, but looks very close.

This is the closest thing to a dog at my house. At least she's a Browns fan. Meow!
