Through my life, I have been around St. Bernards, Samoyeds, Siberian Huskies, Collies, German shepards. Can't say which one stands out as better than the other.

definitely not a lab - I got bitten by one and had to take rabies shots - the good thing is that now I can bite anyone else and THEY won't have to take rabies shots ; )

I always dreamed about one day having a grandcat, but I ended up with a grandpuppy,(coco) and now I wouldn't trade him. He is a cheerful little mutt, cute, sweet, a little hyper.

Hard to pick a favorite breed. Grew up with a wonderful beagle (yay, beagles!) and over the years I've shared my life with German shepherds, weimaraners, a standard poodle, an Australian shepherd, a black Lab, a great Dane, and (having marginally overcome my aversion to small breeds) rat terriers--which are surprisingly robust, smart, and personality packed. Additionally, I've enjoyed the company of many friends' and relatives' dogs. My votes: Smartest: German shepherd, poodle, and weims Sentimental favorite: great Dane Funniest and most athletic: ratties

If I am looking for particular traits, I want to know what I'm getting. ALL dogs, raised right, will be loving and faithful companions. But some bark more than others, some drool (like our Dane did--flipping the drool all over the room and even on the ceiling), some are low-key and easygoing, others high-strung and nervous.

We've gone the rescue route (with a couple of the ratties) but usually research and find a responsible, AKC-sanctioned breeder. One of our rescue dogs was starved and abused as a pup and I don't think he will ever completely get over it. He will bite us from time to time, snarling like he's been possessed by a demon--but he is also the most loving, attention-craving dog I've ever known. I think he might have been too much of a challenge for some people--he's lucky we tolerate his "split personality" and understand that the biting comes out of fear, not viciousness. And we're lucky for all his wonderfulness, which far overbalances the occasional toothy lunge.

There's nothing wrong with matching your family's preferences and lifestyle to a breed that reliably exhibits particular traits (docility, for instance, or nonshedding hair) and with adopting a well-cared-for pup from a loving and responsible breeder so that you can raise it yourself, encouraging the aspects of its personality that work well with your family & lifestyle.

The greatest weight ever recorded for a dog, 343 pounds (156 kg), was that of an English Mastiff from England named Aicama Zorba of La Susa, although claims of larger dogs exist.[3] According to the 1989 edition of the Guinness Book of Records, in March 1989, when he was 7 years old, Zorba stood 35 inches (89 cm) at the shoulder and was 8.25 feet (251 cm) from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, about the size of a small donkey.

Now that's a dog!!

"Best dog movie ever made was "Best in Show"." Prospectors

One of the best comedies ever.

prospector 2 years, 6 months ago

Best dog movie ever made was "Best in Show".

A friend of mine relayed an observation he made backstage at a dog show. A guy was grooming a dog like a mom does to a child's hair, licked his fingers and proceeding to arrange the hair on the dogs butt. While studying his work he appeared unsatisfied so he licked his finger again and went back to the butt.

Renaldo could this also be a cause of oral cancer?

Cocker spaniels, preferably black, but any color will do. Cute, smart and loving.

SOS 2 years, 6 months ago

Pharaoh Hound Extremely smart and perceptive. If they bark at all, you should go see what's up. One of the few dogs that smile. Don't shed.

Someone else's. Don't dig on dogs, man, they are stinky and they poop everywhere. I'll pet someone's dog if it approaches me, but otherwise, I don't want their hair clinging to my clothes, I don't want their slobber on my shoes or their dog funk on my person. Ick. Not to mention, I'll be damned if I'm going to pay to own a creature who's feces I have to pick up from out in the yard. No thanks.

RoeDapple 2 years, 6 months ago

I ain't never had no purple drank but I do know what a red herring is. Stick with the question.

number3of5 2 years, 6 months ago

I sure wish the posters on here could stick with the question. That said my favorite dog is and always has been a Samoyed. My husband's favorite is the English Mastiff. That is why we have a four year old named Bigfoot and two Mastiff / Anatolian Shepard mixes that are just 7 months.

When I was in my forties a young, non-productive male offspring of a female canine challenged me to a sparring event. I whacked that punk with a 2x4 behind his ear and sent him home.

I like dogs that don't bark. At this time of the year, the coyotes are setting off the neighborhood dogs when it gets dark.

Ever notice how some of the homeless downtown will have a dog for 3 months or so then have a new one? My thought is they get a cute dog that people will feed and watch as the dog plumps up. When the dog plumps up like a ballpark hotdog, they cook it and get a new one and start over. Suge Knight is my fav dog, yo!

How can you pick a favorite. My favs are the ones I have right now. An English Setter, who is as sweet and crazy as the day is done, and a King Charles Cavelier. He is, well, just funny. Live is just not the same with out a dog.

I like labs. Licorice or chocolate. Right now I have chocolate female who has trained me well. She's better than I deserve. "If it flies it dies and the brown dog retrieves it." Right now woodcock are migrating through. Shoot one or two and pluck them, do not skin. Draw the innards out and thoroughly rinse. Put back in cavity and put all on grill, indirect heat to the max. Check and pull them off when the juices just run pink, absolutely no more. Serve the innards on garlic texas toast points as a side (trust me on this one). Cheap bottle of red wine. Done. That's all I know about dogs.
