Thread: OK OK OK.....What Kind of Dogs Do you Guys Have and Why??

Don't have a dog yet, but I'm looking to adopt one from the local shelter. A dog breeder buddy of mine says mutts are considerably better because they don't have the brains bred out of them and a rescued dog is going to be far more faithful to you than any purebreed.

Well his name is Toby.. He is about one and a half years old. He is my souvineer of Herrin Illinois. Just the local stray and we are happy to have each other. When I first came to him last july, he had hook worms, pin worms and a very bad bacteriacal infection. We have recovered from that and have been very good friends since. I am a dog person and have had a dog at all tiiimes throughout my life. Toby is the latest, but not the last. I love him to death and he loves me too. One of lifes true rewards.

We have always had large dogs, but when our German Short Hair passed away at 15 two years ago we decided to go the small dog route. We got a Boston, she is quite some thing and she dosn't know she's a small dog.

We've got a Jack Russell. The batteries are as good and strong as they day we got her. She's 8 now and not slowing down one bit. Called "Bingo" btw.
We live in the country and she's great for keeping rabbits away.

I have a mutt named Buddy. He is part Lab and part something else. He looks just like a lab except he is fully grown and only weighs about 60 pounds. He is really great with my son who abuses the dog constantly. Fortunately Buddy is really laid back and just takes it.
