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

We have a Saint Bernard, Bernese Mountain Dog and an English Bull Dog. I love the Bulldog. My wife loves the Bernese and the Saint doesn't have a chance.....lmao. Lynn

I've always loved German Shepherds. I had to put mine down a year ago because of hip displaysia. I started looking for a new companion a few later, and found a GSD rescue about 2 hours from me. We called them, looked at their website, and arranged to make a trip out. Ended up with a 1 year old female. She's a typical GSD in many respects -- the eyes, head, face. Where my other female was close to 90 pounds, this one weighs in around 50-55 pounds. She looks like someone put a GSD in a shrinking machine -- a mini-GSD almost.

My wife has a border collie that we adopted from the shelter at about 8 weeks old. Horribly cute then, even cuter now with personality. We found that border collies stare... a lot. He's about 2 now and is starting to mellow out. He's very independent -- he knows what you want him to do, he just sometimes chooses not to listen.

I have a 15 mont old Tibetan Terrier. I have had many of these dogs in the family and two traits are very common and the reason I love the. First, they are clowns in dog suits... Goofy as hell and just plain loving. Second, they like to sleep as much as they like to play. This is a great thing as they do not have huge exercise requirements and 30 minutes throwing a ball or stick twice a day and they are ready to sleep most of the day away.

They do not shed, are hypo-allergenic and all around great dogs. They weigh on average 30 pounds and stand about knee high.

take a look at my pup http://www.dogbreedz.com/friendz/Dog....cfm/Breed/146 scroll down and check out Tashi. For those ouf you who are interested Tashi is a Tibetan name for fortunate and auspicous.

As my wife says, she has never seen such a happy or loving dog in her life.

No dogs, three cats. Cats are easier if you travel on weekends.

Two Jack Russell Terriers -- pound for pound the most ferocious beasts on earth -- and one very intimidated 100 pound German Shepard.

I have a Retired Racing Greyhound and a Dauchaund that didn't have a home.

Buzzby the cat from Britain is visiting for a few weeks until his owners get the new house in oder. He's an incredibly well adjusted six year old british sorthair tabby who's starting to show his middle age around the waistline. But he rough houses like a dog. All enregy and muscle, but no claws. The teeth are often bear but never bite. I've never seen that before in a cat.

eregy = energy
bear = bare
GRAMMAR POLICE!!!

We had a black lab mix. Not sure what with maybe aligator. He was a real straight razor place dog though he didn't like anyone with a beard; he would give them a look like Jack Nickelson in "The shinning" he was a real loose cannon. I slept like a baby knowing he was on guard though. We had to put him down 4 years ago at age 12 and he is really missed.

I have raised Rottweilers for the past 20 years or so, before very many people even knew what they were. The popularity of the breed has led to breeding that has almost destroyed what was once a fabulous pet and companion. Sad. But now, I want your dog Lynn...the Bernese mountain dog! We have talked of getting one for years, but the long hair may be a problem in the weed fields of Washington. We may have to settle for a short haired something.
