Choosing the Right Dog > Ideas (Mostly for fun)

Nikolai GOgoGogOGO     Barked: Tue Jan 1, '13 12:58pm PST  A coonhound! There's a breed I hadn't even considered! Thank you for the suggestion, I'll definitely give them a good look. I can hear him now baby-talking over those floppy ears, haha. I mentioned them to him and his first reaction was 'Ugh, a hound? Aren't they loud and smelly and dumb?', but then I rambled off some of the traits from random sites and showed him some videos and he agreed they were probably delightful. Dahlia- I think a grey would be a great match for him, but they fall under his 'sticky' category. I think the coonhound suggestion is probably the best breed we've considered, for him. This requires more research! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Choosing the Right Dog > Ideas (Mostly for fun)

Nikolai GOgoGogOGO     Barked: Tue Jan 1, '13 7:56am PST  Don't be rude, please. ("Um, have you considered a cat or two perhaps?") I handle the structure and training side of our dog house. He prefers to spend the little time he HAS on coddling and spoiling his dogs. He has two dogs currently and they are handled just fine by him. His younger dog is a pound rescue husky/shepherd best guess and he can be a challenging, guarding, snappy snot, which my partner is willing to handle, he just doesn't like to. A breed less prone to be snotty and testing would be preferred. The 'rules' side of thing is well handled. That's my thing. His thing is the uninhibited personality of dogs. Miyu- I'm into training, he's not. He thinks a trained dog is a robot, I think an untrained dog is a wild animal. It's not a point of strife, it's just a difference of opinions. We have five dogs together and no one's suffering for it. Bryce- I think a smooth collie falls under his 'sticky' category. I tried pointing a couple out to him at the eukanuba show recently and he didn't seem too interested. (He was distracted by the cane corso nearby. ) my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

We're also thinking about danes and he likes greater swiss but I don't know much about them and I'm not sure he does either. Alyssum- He wants a big chunky cuddly dog that he can roll around on and sleep with and wrestle. As fun as our little dog is, he wants a big. The other aesthetic stuff, like drooliness and fluffiness, isn't that important. More about him.. He works 5-7 days/week, usually around 10hrs per day but frequently longer. He thinks trained dogs are 'robots' and doesn't want to 'squash a dog's personality'. He thinks dogs can do no wrong and if they're snotty that's just who they are and it's ok because they're dogs and that's what dogs do. I drag him to the dog park but otherwise his idea of exercise is propping the door open so the dogs can run in the yard. He hates to even tell a dog 'no' and wants to be able to be 100% nice to a dog and have the dog be nice back. I'll be around for the rules and structure side of things, but the less I have to do, the better. Should also be noted, before any conclusions are jumped to, we own a house and two cars together, are essentially though not legally married, and I am around all day. His lack of time is only worth mentioning because a super active dog would be overwhelming for him. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

They can be lovely dogs, but neither of us want to deal with the pitbull stigma and I'm not sure he'd be a good match for a staffie or pitty type. He needs and wants a mushy, soft, loves-everything, nonconfrontational type of dog. He is extremely soft handed. A terrier would walk all over him. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Nikolai GOgoGogOGO     Barked: Sat Dec 29, '12 9:07am PST  My breed researching has gotten my partner thinking about what breed he'd like to pursue next time. His last two dogs were shelter mutts and his next will likely be, too, but it's fun to think about. He's looking for: -A heavy-boned/tanky large or giant breed. -Short hair. -No drooly drippy mastiff jowls. -Sweet, gentle, loves everyone type breed. -Couch potato. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > HELP WITH NEWLY RESUCED LAB WITH HISTORY OF 1 SEVERE BITE

Kodiak CGC WOOoooOOoo     Barked: Wed Dec 19, '12 11:25am PST  Tiller, I wish I could express myself like you. That's what I was trying to say. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Behavior & Training > HELP WITH NEWLY RESUCED LAB WITH HISTORY OF 1 SEVERE BITE

Kodiak CGC WOOoooOOoo     Barked: Tue Dec 18, '12 10:52pm PST  Smokey- This dog doesn't just have a history of a bite, he has a history of mauling, and is lunging and snapping at these poor well-intended people. I don't care what the circumstances were. A dog that mauls a human and then continues to show active aggression should be PTS, in my honest blunt opinion. To dump that liability, that danger, that ticking bomb onto someone else was selfish and irresponsible of the original owners. I've loved a lot of biting dogs, I certainly don't think all biting dogs should be pts. If your dog is an actual danger, you take responsibility and either keep and manage him or put him down. Just my .02. Not saying the op SHOULD put the dog down, just voicing my opinion. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Kodiak CGC WOOoooOOoo     Barked: Mon Dec 17, '12 11:16pm PST  That dog should have been euthanized by the first owner and the first vet, imo. Some GOOD dog that would never think of mauling a baby is going to go from a cold cement cage to a quick death at the hands of a stranger while THIS dog keeps getting chances to hurt people. Maybe that's harsh of me, but I have a hard time being optimistic about a dog that caused 100 stitches worth of damage to an infant. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
