All other breeds are just inferior and that's all there is to it. What I think is funny is we are all stuck on our particular breed of primitive. Like, I'd never own a Shiba in a million years. But I would have all the huskies and malamutes. All of them.

A lot of Poodle mixes, Schnauzers, Shih-Tzus, and every other breed of dog that gets eye and nose gunk stuck in its fur kind of grosses me out, I don't think I could live with that. Unless the dog was black, then I wouldn't notice and everything would be fine  FlyingFish posted:Also apparently some breeders are trying to breed for orange/black markings that resemble miniature tigers. This reminds me of my favourite SCP, A Harmless Kitten

My cat is smart -- he knows more tricks then my boyfriend's dog -- and has never actually destroyed a thing in his life. Obviously cats know you're a dog person and act accordingly toward you. You will forever be treated with condescension and poo poo by cats, you dog lover.

Yeah, we got our cat after having Buddy and I'd been working with dogs for years. I definitely love her, and I'm glad we have her, but even before we got her I said she'd be the last cat I'd ever own. Ok, so I wasn't going to say anything, but I'm seriously  ing like mad over here. I finally went ahead and emailed Wildhaus a few days ago.  I haven't heard back, but they're busy with little puppies and I wrote a lot to respond to. I'm just so anxious!

Dogs I want: just Neige. Dogs I don't want: every other dog. It's really that simple for me. I like other dogs and it is great to work and play with them, but the only dog I really want is this one right here in my lap right now. Maybe someday I wouldn't mind adding a second Cardigan so she has someone else to boss around, but I don't really need a second dog. As fun as that'd be, it'd split my attention from her, and that's just not necessary. If I want to hang out with a different breed or personality for a day, I can spend time with clients or go to the dog park or visit my friends who have dogs. And those dogs are great. But I don't really see any others that grab me as much as Cardigans do and even other Cardigans just aren't as special and awesome to me as Neige is, because they're not my dog. So yeah. That's the dog I want.

paisleyfox posted:!!!!! All the akitas I've met have actually been super sweet big lugs. I gather that it's atypical. There's one that a rescue lady has who is also called Bear, he is about 10 years old and so calm. When you go to her place he just gruffly woofs at you, snuffs you for investigative purposes, and if satisfied, headbutts you with his nose for pats. And a friend brought in her old akita dude to class the other day, he was the same.

Woah, a new thread. Stupid traveling, making me miss like 7 pages. So tomorrow I start attending a three day reactive dog clinic with Brenda Aloff. Should be interesting. Psyche is one of six working dogs, though we're only bringing her Monday since that's an "advanced trainer" day and we figured she wouldn't be able to handle all three days. Though since we made that decision, she's been improving steadily and she seems very unstressed considering I've been traveling for the last month and her whole routine has gone to hell. Will report on the clinic if anyone is interested.

Actually, that's really a no-brainer. You go with the personality that suits you best. I thought I absolutely had to have a blue merle or a standard black-and-white (with no tan), and to be quite honest, the photos of the puppy with the creepy white face threw me off a lot, but darn if she isn't just the perfect dog for us right now! I wuv my puppums!

I also want all the dogs. Though I think 2-3 is probably the perfect amount, unless I magically wind up somewhere with a million acres of land, and then I will do exactly this but with Newfies and Akitas and all the dogs on my dream dog list  Top 5 Dream Dogs 1. Newfoundland 2. Akita 3. Tamaskan 4. Great Dane 5. German Shepherd Dogs I Never Want 1. any 2. dog 3. smaller 4. than 5. shiba-sized I'm just not a fan of the puntable variety of dogs. They're cute, I have many friends with smaller dogs, but just not for me. I like dogs I don't have to bend over to pet. I would definitely get a shiba or vallhund in a heartbeat, though.

Friend just posted this on FB:Friend posted:can't believe I just had 2 deal w that much stupidity when I'm not feeling wel! Who The F parks their car n a busy, not @ all safe shopping center parking lot (the Rite Aid has been robbed many times!), taking up 2 spots, w their YorkiePoo inside thcar, windows UP- this was my 1st concern- until I found the car was ON, keys in ignition, a/c blowing on dog, BUT owner's Gucci purse, Coach luggage, Von Maur, Sephora, & Gucci shopping bags r in plain sight n the car?! I waited 10 mins, talked 2 an old man similarly extremely concerned about the dog & possibly the owner who suggested we call the cops. I waited another 3 mins before I called 911.Then her dumb blond clueless rear end comes strolling out of a store. So I had to again call the cops to say nevermind, it was just an idiot & she's back now :/ REALLY?! I mean, I could've robbed her easily & gotten off w a good haul! I talked to her & she said "thanks" but telling her she's an idiot wasn't going to get me anywhere. Women...pls have some drat sense!!!!!! I get angry when stupid ppl suck up my precious time. I hate people.

Skizzles posted:Friend just posted this on FB: I don't get it. The lady's dog was hanging out in the AC so the only risk was that someone would break in and take the dog instead of the stuff. Your friend's time was "sucked up" because she stood around worrying about a dog in no immanent danger instead of moving on with her life while the owner ran into Rite Aid. I've seen a lot of terrible dog ownership, that barely even makes the list. Also, what are the cops going to do? Break into the car? The dog was fine. They would probably show up and tell your friend to stop calling them for stupid poo poo. vv Sometime people have multiple sets of keys so they can lock the door and leave the car running at the same time while they go into a store for 15 minutes. Maybe I'm just pissy because I'm blonde but this seems like a lot of judgement over nothing. vvv Instant Jellyfish fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 25, 2012 |

The person's a moron because she left a lot of valuable poo poo in plain sight in an unlocked car with the keys in the ignition in a shady part of town. edit: yes my friend overreacted a bit and her typing is obnoxious, but the girl is still an idiot.

It's Balen's birthday today. He's 7. He got a double whopper with cheese and it was gone in about three bites. He was basically the happiest dog ever when I pulled it out of the wrapper. I'll post pictures of goofy dressup and stuff later on.

If I had gotten a Whopper for my 7th birthday I'd have been pretty pissed even if it was a double. Just goes to show you how dumb dogs are really when you think about it. The only dog I would get at this point would be a Papillon but whenever I think about having to put my hand in a plastic sack and pick up the dog poop and feel the warm dog poop through the thin plastic I throw up and I probably will never get a dog.

Small dog turds are less warm and squishy than large ones because the creature emitting them has no soul. Cleaning up after Keeper is like picking up deer pellets. Cleaning up after Spice requires two hands, two bags and a deep sense of intrinsic wrongness. I don't know how you giant dog people can live your lives.

When I grab poo poo, it tends to smoosh outward through my plastic-covered fingers. Even if I manage to get it all in one bag (and mind you, when I do, I feel like I've won the world series), there is a very high chance that a bit will flop off the edge onto my hand and roll over it, leaving a brownish smear. Or it will break the bag due to weight and then I must race at top speed to a trash can before it gets on my shoes. I usually use a plastic bag from Walmart. Or two. Dane ownership~
