What kind of dog do you own?
-
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 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/

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Great looking cat, but he is staring into my soul.

We have three dogs...it's what happens when you mix families (a la the Brady Bunch) LOL!!
Daisy is our 10+ (we're not really sure) golden/setter mix. She's a great dog. Lots of hair.
Buddy (red and white) is our 8 yr old basenji and Sally (brindle and white) is a 10 yr old basenji. I adopted them from a Basenji rescue. I've had basenji's for going on 20 years now. Interesting breed...barkless, short hair, little/no odor...but unbelievably smart.
Here's a pic of all three:
and my favorite pic of Buddy:
I need to get some new pictures of them uploaded...but you get the idea!

17 year old Border collie, who also is nearing the end. never liked water or had any interest in catching a frisbee but was named the greatest dog ever by a universal vote.

Holy shit that sounds like my 4 year old Border mix! He won't touch a frisbee or the water but he speaks fluent english, some spanish (because we try to say 'outside' and 'eat' without him knowing. But he figured it out!), He analyzes situations before always making the most polite, civil, and correct decision. He's incredible. I have friends beg me to watch him when we go out of town. And so I totaly feel for you and the situation. Best of luck.
