What kind of dog do you own?

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.

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!

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!

Came home two weeks ago from my monthly Oregon trip and my women "surprised" me with 2 Chihuahua's - Jake and Elwood. ::sigh:: Their cool little guys though.

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.

I always liked Basenji's but heard they could have some aggression problems. Like I said, I may be looking for a smallish dog sometime in the near future, do you have any problems with them nipping at people?

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.

he is one fast dude.

Wouldn't harm a fly though.

No dogs... never will. Smell like shit, poop everywhere, cost a fortune, annoying as fvck when they jump on you and lick you, there are hardly any redeeming qualities IMO.

LMAO!! Thought you were talking about me there for a minute Plat!

Rotty named Ladybug. Bug for short. She likes to eat stuff. Motor oil on the driveway. Hot embers as they pop out of the firepit. And tree trunks.

Black lab/retriever mix named shadow. Acts sweet, but a straight up douche. Bastard looks over his shoulder every morning to see if you're watching. If you are, he potty's in the appropriate area, the gravel. If you're not, the grass.

And a golden/yellow lab (or whatever cleared the fence first) named Punkin. Cute but dumb. Afraid of everything.

The ex has the long haired chihuahua. Cujo.

That is the best thing ever. I have a dog almost identical (2 eyes) but he is black and white. He's nuts.

Lol. Kosar, that reminds me of "The Jerk"... Steve Martin writing his Black mom a letter about a woman he met...

"You'd love her mom, she looks just like you. Except she's white and blond."
