All dogs are pretty great.

but most dogs aren't niggers.

I've got a dog
Lab/strayan shepherd mix (I think) I got from the shelter
She's the sweetest dog imaginable but has lung damage from heartworms (she wasn't in great shape when I got her) so she can't do much Jow Forums stuff or she'll start wheezing
At some point I want to get a greyhound but the "rescue agencies" seem like some Jew shit, $600 for a "rehoming fee"? Just admit you're flipping the dogs at that point. My dog was 40 bucks from the shelter and that covered everything except her meds.
Jonathan Martinez
>"rescue agencies" seem like some Jew shit
They are. They're run with good intention but at the end of the day they have to make a profit and cater to people who care only about breed (not that breed isn't an important factor, but "I have to have X dog" is never valid unless you're a sled driver or something). Avoiding puppies and purebreds is the only way to stop backyard breeders, you did the right thing by getting one from a shelter.
I wish more people wouldn't write off shelters as exclusively pitbulls, there are some really unique breed mixes with varying personalities at my local one. But everyone just has to get a cute golden puppy from Jimmy Bob's totally-not-puppy-mill.

Greyhound because anybody who comes to Jow Forums isn't active enough for any other breed
Jaxon Green
The single correct answer, a bloatmaxxed hulking nigger dog
James Nelson
I had a bro-tier Pug-mix. He couldn't run very far since he was a smol boi, but he was a great companion. Up until he died, of course.

We got this little feller about a month ago, they really grow on you, even the small ones. (Will be a little bigger than a terrier)
Definitely planning to get a bigger breed later on once we move to a house instead of our apartment.
But I gotta say, I should have gotten a dog long before I got a GF, I have never had this many girls come up and talk to me when I am out walking.
Gabriel Evans
Newfoundlands are such an amazing breed.
Webbed feet and double coat for max efficiency in water, average around 100-150 pounds, great upper body strength, saved Napoleon when he fell off a ship so pretty much the savior of manlets, aided Lewis and Clark on their entire expedition.
Pic related is my Newfoundland. Only downsides are price and maintenance for grooming. Some slobber but mine does not.
Brandon Morales
What wrong with a puppy mill? When I have kids I want to bring home a cute little lab puppy for them and my wife. Not some used and abused 5 years old dog that has a fucked personality because of his shit last owner.
I respect people who can take these dogs and work with the but some people are better getting a cute golden puppy from Jimmy Bob's totally-not-puppy-mill.

My dad rescued a greyhound. He lives in florida and I'm a leaf so we only see them once or twice a year but that girl is the sweetest fucking thing in the world. She was a race greyhound that the owner gave up and took a long time to really trust anyone.
She's great with my kids (3 and 8) and normally pretty chill on walks, but she'll go quick if you want to go for a run. I hope you do get the chance to rescue a greyhound one day
Joseph Hill
I'd love a German, Scottish, or Australian Shepherd, but I currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment. I would absolutely get one if I had a house with a backyard, though. I currently just chill with my cat, "Space" Grace
Evan Wright
the dog drool covering your entire world is a big turn off.
Josiah Hill
Border collies and German Shepherd are the highest tier. Really any shepherd type dog is a good one. They were bred for intelligence as well as stamina while maintaining a decent mass.
Justin Allen
Only problem is their shitty posture giving them joint and back problems
Kevin Bailey
Irish wolfhound is the king of dogs. Even Julius Caesar was mirin their size

Me and my gf got another beagle about 9-10 months ago after I had to put down the one I grew up with. She's just about 1yr old now and it's crazy how much more happy and active I am. She's got me running 2 miles a day again and going hiking every other weekend. I've lost 20 pounds in the past two months doing that with her.

My last one could be at times. But so far my new one is very quiet so I guess it depends on the dog.

Most hound dogs are very loud if they’re not well trained. My neighbor had a beagle and it would bay constantly.
Camden Carter
I don't know, after volunteering at a few shelters I learned that most of the dogs are just victims of really shitty circumstances, and I feel really sad when some sweet 2yo mutt gets put down because people are only interested in puppies. Having a pitiful dog come to love you is the most rewarding feeling in the world.

Sweet dog though, one of the few beagles I've known that wasn't an obese monstrosity.

Kelpies, Aus shepherds, and cattledogs are all top-tier, for all their shit Australia definitely know their dogs
Landon Walker
>What wrong with a puppy mill?
Other than the fact that they abuse the shit out of their dogs and are rife with disease and inbreeding?

Very intelligent.
Surprisingly cuddly.
Elegant looking but very strong.

Had a black lab growing up, best long-distance adventure companion, used to take her hiking with me all the time. Now I have a rescue-weiner. Not as good for adventuring, but he's a good boy
Leo Lee
My wife and i have 2 dogs, both female, both around the same age (2y/o)
1 we got as a puppy, she's a lab/border collie mix, extremely intelligent and has a super strong drive to please people. Local kids have fucked with her through our fence though so she doesn't like kids, and even though she plays nice with big dogs she HATES little dogs for some reason and always gets snappy.
The other we got a bit older, we were told she's border collie/kelpie but she doesn't really look like it so who knows. She was abused before we got her and didn't even know what a toy was or how to play with one but over time she has learned and it's been very rewarding seeing her come out of her shell.
I'd definitely recommend a lab mix to anyone though, super easy to train, very gentle with the wife and I (used to be with kids) and super loyal.

my lab mix 9 years ago.
he used to run like 40 mins daily when he was young. now we just walk 30 mins and he gets tired.
Isaiah Cruz
Yeah, she's genuinely the sweetest dog I've ever known. Never leaves my side even if I'm just walking around the house. No clue if she was formerly owned (and if so, why would they have let such a desireable pedigree get to such bad shape?) or what.
Kind of autistic around other dogs (probably because she was pregnant at the shelter and got an abortion/spayed while surrounded by aggressive barkers, must have fucked with her psychologically, idk) but she loves every person she meets and can't get enough of exploring/walking.
Ryder Ross
My dad has a Blue German Shepherd similar to pic related. I'm going to get one just like it when we get a house as a puppy.
Both are good, have both.

Dachsunds are thus far my favorite breed of small dog. Just about every single other one bugs me, with their little rat bodies, not Godshunds with their sick proportions though. I wish i had a chest to arm ratio like that.
Gavin Adams
do you fuck them?
last dude i knew with a female akita was arrested for beastiality
Anthony Lewis
i bet that guy can pull sick deadlifts if he ate right and actually lifted, those fucking long arms, wtf

Never had one, parents didn´t either though I liked my cousins dog a lot.
I kind of want one, yeah. A Sennenhund probably, either when I have my own house and/or children.

There was some family busted running a puppy mill, $1K dogs with worms and other diseases. Most died with a few thousand in vet bills while one family paid $6K in bills and was able to survive.

Most are supposed to sleep 12+ hours. At least get a toy dog.

My boy. It's a bedlington terrier, not a poodle. And he's from the shelter where he was a few weeks, after his breeder died
He's pretty relaxed, on the other hand he's almost 12

Adopted one under a year, lived until 16 or so. Had no health problems, just had to brush a lot. Was running and jumping until the day before he passed. He didn't like water, don't know if that was because he was a mutt.

5 wolves could kill 1 bear. perhaps not in a day, but after a week of the pack nipping at its heels everytime it tries to sleep,drink or eat, fuckers dead.
Jaxson Thompson
Assuming they survive that long.
Carter Howard
Great dogs but they're a huge mess. The slobbering and shedding is endless.
If you don't have a big fenced in yard and live a a relatively cool climate it's just not a good fit. My sister and bro in law had one and it would love sleeping outside in the fall when it was in the 40s and raining
