Elite Overlord LeSabre™ September 5th, 2012 8:50 AM

See, why do all my relatives have to own the big, vicious dog breeds as pets? I might not be against dogs so much if they had the smaller, less mean breeds...

I think a dog's personality is defined by how the owner treats it. I've only ever met dogs owned by family friends, and all of them are cute and excitable and want nothing more than just to play with you. Including some of the bigger dogs.

Although, some breeds are naturally more aggressive than others. Pit bull terriers come to mind.

Yeah, it's a fine balance between breed and owner. I would never own a naturally aggressive breed myself, because the thing is, it's completely possible to train that dog not to be aggressive, to be sweet and loving and everything you would want in a dog. But I don't have the time and patience to train aggressiveness out of a dog. I want a dog that comes pre-sweetened, lmao.

I WANT A CORGI

Agreed. I'd also prefer a "pre-sweetened" dog, haha.

Speaking of trained non-aggressive animals, has anyone else seen that domesticated hippo in Africa? It's pretty amazing considering hippos are the #1 most aggressive animal in the world.

I'd like one pre-sweeted corgi, please. My brother has one, but she's a show dog dropout and terribly nervous around strangers. Still sweet though.

If I ever get a pet, whether it's a cat or dog, I need one that's not vicious and sheds relatively little hair... I believe it's the pet dander that I'm allergic to, though my parents told me years ago that animal saliva might bother me too (do cats lick their owners as much as dogs do?)

droomph September 5th, 2012 1:26 PM

Omg every dog I meet knows I own a dog (I always have fur on me lol) so they all lick my face or something.

Personally, I would choose a huge-ass dog to a small one, because it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and they wouldn't mind me using them as a pillow as much as say, a chihuahua.

And LeSabre all dogs (and cats) shed more or less during the summer season so if you absolutely can't stand one piece of dander a pet isn't for you :c But if you can handle a bit, I would suggest a jack Russell, like mine c: Super cute and doesn't shed that badly! Though do take a tour through the animal shelter first. Just wear a mask :x

Ephemeral Euphoria September 5th, 2012 1:27 PM

Must resist the urge to say it's raining cats and dogs here right now.

If I ever get a pet for my own place it's gonna be this, provided I can afford it first.

Poodles don't shed hardly anything. They're hypoallergenic, but you often have to take more care of them than you would with other dogs.

though Houdini is cute enough so I guess it'll worksies

Spoiler:

Awww, your dog is so cute :3
I love dogs in general, but I especially love the little dogs. I think it would be awesome to get a corgi of some kind. :) I dogsit one ocasionally and they are the cutest things ever.
Cats on the other hand, are a completely different story.

The main dogs I've had have been toy poodles and one standard poodle. I like them a lot. :3 But my mom worked as a dog groomer for a while so she had no problem grooming her, it's not that way for everyone.

Thomas September 5th, 2012 6:23 PM

Most of the dogs I had growing up were Labs because my dad used to hunt a lot. The one I have now is a chihuahua. Here name is Piper.

A different kind of cute, but cute nonetheless <3

Oh and did I tell you guys my dog is depressed? I swear it is. He won't move at all when I ask him to and he hates me (I think) now.

Zet September 5th, 2012 9:18 PM

My dog is rude, he hardly ever listens to commands and he practically drags me whenever I take him for a walk. :(

curiousnathan September 5th, 2012 9:23 PM

I love my dog, he's a massive cutie. o3o

Meganium September 5th, 2012 9:42 PM

I swear, get close to my dog and she will TACKLE YOU SO HARD LIKE NO TOMORROW.

My doggy is so hyper. <3

Morkula September 5th, 2012 10:55 PM

I'm jealous of you guys. My dog died in February just two weeks shy of his 15th birthday. I really want a new dog though...maybe after I move out.

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that! May he rest in peace. :3

And you should! Dogs are lovely companions (as you probably already know.)

Captain Fabio September 5th, 2012 11:46 PM

I don't have a dog; never had one. I never really had any pets... I clearly was a lonely child.


Meganium September 6th, 2012 12:30 AM

So we're showing pics of dogs? I'd show mine, but I'd probably give you all CUTENESS OVERLOAD. She's just tooo adowable. So let's leave it at that, :P

Although that's an ollllllllld dog. Most of them don't get past 10-12 or so. Mine's 6-ish now SO THAT'S LIKE HALF WAY OMG.

Algo Fonix September 6th, 2012 4:32 AM

Our oldest is 9 now, and he's really showing his age. Has a hard time getting around and stuff.

Netto Azure September 6th, 2012 5:16 AM

Ah I remember our family having a dog 2 years ago. Wished it was trained but sadly no. The place stunk. :<

Y'all don't have it anymore? There was only one pet we had recently that we had to give up. It was a medium sized dog we named 'Charlie', and we had to give him away because he was too hyper. We don't have a yard for him to run in...our backyard is basically a glorified courtyard...with the tiniest patch of grass ever. The size of it is perfect for our chihuahua...but not for a bigger dog. :(
