Nothing like the mutt i had that lived for 16 years but ill take 10 with these dogs gladly. Had one die on me just shy of 5 of a heart attack.

Wow 10 as an average is really loving good for that size of dog. You don't even get more than 12 outta a big lab.

Aussies own but they are really high maintence. Have you ever had a gf who will tear your house down and try to kill you if you dont go on a date with her every single day? Aussies are extremely similar.

Also they tend to be hella standoffish to strangers. Herd dog distrust I suppose. Its kinda cute to have your dog visibly and clearly snub someone who comes up and tries to be friendly, but you really gotta watch em. They are quite goonish and sometimes will bite.

sweat to god, if your dog snubbed me i'd slap the poo poo out that bitch

I've seen my mom's aussie turn his head away, put his nose in the air, and refuse to make eye contact with friendly strangers. Its one of the most humanlike things I've ever seen a dog do. If they keep trying to gently caress with him at that point he'll look at them out of the corner of his eye with an extremely obvious "gently caress off" expression. It's kinda cute imo. He's a goon basically.

All dogs under 50 pounds deserve to be holocausted. Toy dogs deserve to be torture-holocausted along with their sick gently caress owners. I'm willing to grant exceptions to particular small dog breeds that were bred small for specific badass stuff like chasing motherfucked badgers in badger holes.

Otherwise, small dogs are all the same. Obnoxiously yappy, stupid as gently caress, Napoleon complexes. If you own one I hate you and think you should die painfully.

I had a mastiff that was the best dog ever, but heart problems did him in at 6. Never again, no more giant dogs with lifespans of a fruit fly. I love 'em, and it's just too goddamn sad.

That said, my son's mastiff made it to 10 without major health problems, which pretty good, considering.

My three goldens died at 10 (cancer), 11 (heart attack), and 12 (morbid obesity/making GBS threads self to death). 10 for a giant breed is a goddamned miracle.

My brother's 14 year old Australian Shepherd is exactly like this. If she doesn't get her required 3 miles of walking, half hour of fetch, and half hour of training games, she will spend all night going into the bathrooms of the house and seeing how far she can pull a strand of toilet paper off of the roll without tearing it. The same if she hears a coyote howling outside and isn't allowed out to fight it. You can always tell if Boomerang has was unhappy overnight when you wake up because you'll see a perfect strand of toilet paper going out of each bathroom and all the way down the hall and either down the stairs or across the living room etc.

When we were in college, he had this book of tricks for smart dogs, and it had a plan for teaching them to bring you a drink by doing it in stages. The plan was to teach them to bring a towel on command, then hang the towel off the door of the fridge and teach them to pull the door open, then wrap the towel around a coke and have them bring that, and finally teach them to bring just the can. But Boomerang learned how to open the fridge door, slide the meat drawer open and have a balogna and hotdog party on the kitchen floor. He and his roommates had to ducttape the fridge shut forever, and whenever the dog went to a new house to visit, she would head straight to the kitchen to see if there was a towel hanging off the fridge door for her to pull it open.


That dog is still worth it.

For a lower maintenance dog, we grew up with a Bull Terrier, and he was the most lovable dumb-dumb you ever met. He only learned a few rudimentary tricks, and he got confused easily, but if you want a best friend who will spend every minute at your side and be ten times as enthusiastic as you are about everything you do together, that's your guy.

Kinda goofy looking yet prissy at the same time but exemplifies the notion "man's best friend" as they were bred to essentially be the heating system of early coaches.

While naturally are horrible watchdogs as they'd welcome a burglar into your home that might be an advantage if the burglar is an unloved individual and you have a home security system.

texas heeler.

it's not a real breed but a deliberate mixing of two or three breeds, so little/no inbreeding, long lived, small-medium sized, insanely good w people and capable of incredible violence to anything it perceives as a threat while also not carrying an inbred murder-dog chip on its shoulder like actual attack/guard breeds.

they basically look like this:

There is a poll...

I want a dog, leaning towards collie because I hear they are the least racist.

Dog gifs welcome

Assuming your dog is representative of the breed, collies are objectively superior. Faster and smarter than your average hound and cute too. Fairly easily available, solidly built and have a decent life span. Your only issue here, as with most working breeds, is can you give it 3-4 hours a day of vigorous outdoor exercise. If not then please don't get a collie or any working dog, as it will destroy your house, piss off your neighbours and be miserable. If you're at work a lot, get a cat and a cat flap so it can do its own thing.
