Man's Best Friend

Let's discuss dogs and how amazing they are!

This is not a cat vs dogs debate. Cat lovers, make your own thread.

I love dogs.

I have a dog. Unfortunately he lives with my parents as he is a family dog and I couldn't take him with me when I moved out. I get so excited to see him when I go visit! He is so adorable and he loves to play and cuddle. He loves everybody and everything. Except the vacuum, which he is scared of!

I don't have one favourite breed as I love all dogs, but some of my favourites are: Staffies, Boxers, French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs and Huskies.

I want a doberman one day. I had a chocolate lab who passed away a few years ago.

I've grown up around a lot of rottweilers. My mom's ex boyfriend had one and he lived with his brother who also had one. My grandmother has had 15 rottweilers, the most she's had at a time was 8 or 9 I think?

I have three dogs. My parents have them all though. I haven't seen them in six months! Gah, my heart.

Oh my heart would break too

What breed(s) are they? Pix!

my parents got a german shepherd/chow/collie mix when I was 3 and she lived her full life out before we had to put her down due to congestive heart failure, cataracts, deafness, tumors in her ears that wouldn't stay away, and she started having seizures she was so bad off at the end she couldn't get up to go to the bathroom, and my dad had to put her food and water right next to her so she could eat and drink. I miss her.

My second favorite dog we had was a white boxer named Abby. She had two different colored eyes. She was my buddy, we think she was poisoned when we moved to this side of town. She passed away before her 2nd birthday.

The dog my parents have now is another white boxer named Abby but she is nowhere near as close to my heart as the first Abby.

For now, I do not want to have another dog. I've had enough of them for a while i suppose :/

My Bully!

[Shorty]

My heart.

[Jess]

Cute! Is s/he a bull terrier of some sort?

[Shorty]

He's a pit bull!

[Jess]

He's gorgeous. He has a similar face to Bully!

I wish I could have a pit bull but they are illegal here due to the stupidity of humans.

[Shorty]

Yours looks very pit-like, being part of the bully family. If anyone ever asks me what he is, I tell them he's an American bulldog/boxer mix. People confuse him with a boxer all the time - it's so weird! He doesn't look like a boxer at all to me. I chalk it up to his beautiful brindle coat.

Here's a picture of my friend.

Parents' dogs: Buddy, Jojo, Bandit, Stormy, Ozzie (all... before my time)
My dog: Bear (German shepherd, fun but stupid)
My cousins' dogs: Brian, Bobo (black n tan Dachshund, precious), Pooter (red smooth Dachshund, so precious), Cujo (German shepherd, big idiot dog), Honey (Pitbull, idiot dog)
Godparents' dogs: Yukon and Babe (Labradors)
Grandmother's dog: Sparky (Jack Russell Terrier, little idiot dog)

There you go. Plenty of dogs. My mom has frequently said she wants a lapdog, but doesn't want anything she has to take care of, so... no live animals.

[Jess]

Scotty, your friend is adorable.

Shorty - I love all the bull breeds. Why do you tell people that? Is it because of the misjudged preconceptions against the bull breeds? I used to have a brindle boxer dog and he was just lovely, but I agree with you that they don't look at all similar!

More dogs & puppies please.
