Any dog lovers on the forum?

Just wondering how many there are?

I've just put bought a German shepherd puppy. He's only 5 days old so still got a while until I can go pick him up.

I always had dogs as a kid and have considered getting one. I could take it to work with me so that wouldn't be an issue but it's the 15 years of commitment that puts me off. If I did a English Springer Spaniel would be on the cards. Always had them when I was young and love how mad they are

4 dogs here

3 Pharaoh Hounds and 1 English Mastiff

I've nearly always had a dog either as family pet when I was a child or as my own as an adult. Currently have Switch, he's a 60kg bullmastif a big gentle giant. He's my 3rd bullmastif. Ive had him since he was a pup he's 5 now.Had all types if dogs in the past, mongrels, alsatians great Danes etc.

Just got a dogie du Bordeaux puppy. She is eight weeks old and is as big as my jack russell already! Same dog as hooch in the film turner and hooch!

Had 3 Setters over the years. So soft, so loveable. Chloe,my Gordon ,was a dream. One of the worst moments, and most moving in my life. She was put down with heart failure. Held her as she slipped away.
If you don't get dogs it's a shame. Best company you may ever get. Miss em all.
Now working long days and can't give the time to own one. Just hope I retire fit and healthy enough to own one more.

Funnily enought I have a Giant Schnauzer. 47Kgs of full male hound. He's spotted Klinck a couple of times and swears he's his favourite Poodle

Here's our lad, Fester.
He's getting on now, and suffering from kidney failure. He's getting properly spoilt, with sausages for dinner and he get's to lie on the bed.
Still loves a game of fisbee!

I've got seven.
They are all mixes.
Can't imagine life without them.
Dogs are the only creatures that love us more than they love themselves.

Always had dogs when I was a kid. Still love them and coz of that I don't have any as we are away very often.
Get on with the neighbour'd dogs very well.
looking after the old sook when they go overseas.

I have an American Eskimo and a Golden Retriever. I love them to bits.

Mmmmmmmmm ... dog ... so delicious ...

Oh yeah I love dog!

Since working in Korea I've got to say I love dogs.
Just remember, kids, a dog is not just for Christmas: with careful management you can make it last until New Year.

On the other hand we have a Westie called Jackson and we 'aint eaten him yet.

I dont like it, tried it in China and Vietnam, you know how a wet dog smells thats how it tastes

well this is jerry lee at 5 days old.

I'v always had German Sheapherds; fantastic dogs, loyal, smart and are very protective with heaps of energy to boot (dont buy the show dogs with the slant back and hip displacea, the working type like the police force uses).

Although recently (2 years ago) I got a Leonberger, very cute and fluffy but stong as an ox with similar markings to a sheapherd. At 2 years old he weighs 95kg, all muscle and just plain big, they are a mountain/sea rescue dog, very loyal but wants to be by your side wherase the sheapards like to be at a distance so they can see you and the surroundings to make sure you are ok.

Oh and they are good for small properties as they are exhausted after 5 mins (literally), my 12yr old sheapherd runs rings around him (although she is in freakishly good condition for her age an only looks like a 6 yr old sheapard).

Two very different characteristics but love em both to bits

Cats walk and can also feed themselves, brry their own poo and if not asleep can also help keep the small land mamal population in order. They are also self cleaning and dribble less than dogs.

I do get why people like dogs but I have never wanted one myself. My next pet will be a cat.

We now have a Bulldog called Missy (or pissy missy as my little boy calls her).

When our Staff had to be put down we swore we wouldnt have another dog, we lasted 2 weeks before rehousing our current Bully. She was the runt of the litter and the girl that owned her had basically stopped looking after since giving birth to her kid

She has more health problems that i care to mention, costs a fortune in insurance, snores, farts and generally stinks but shes an absolute sweetheart

A 6 yr old rottie for me but had great danes and a sar pei in the past

Beagles

miller that dog looks great ,I love english bulls , always had staffy bitches but now i got a male pup 20 weeks old and growing a bit to tall for my liking , still a good laugh and stops me watching the shitty tv

A Leonberger big?
Dude, thats a monster breed!

here is my scottish terrier, called Hamish

Jack Russel terrier's,just love em
Here's my last one "Combat" sadly i had to have him put down at Christmas a couple of years ago,i shed a few tears that day I'll get another when i retire and can spend more time with it,truely brave little dogs are Jacks

Had a Pitbull Terrier for ten years. My best friend and it tore me up when I had to pit her down due to cancer. The wife and I now have two female Dalmatians and they are some of the sweetest dogs I've ever met. Quirky, loyal, and smart. When we got the first one, we were told they only shed twice a year; six months in the winter, and six months in the summer.

Anyone got a Ferret

Never owned a pet myself but always wanted to have a dog "when I have enough time", but low and behold the new Mrs has a collie dog and he's great. Gets us out of the house loads which is ideal.

However I will never forgive the cunt for stealing my doughnuts and I won't be crying for sympathy when he dies. He's a dog nothing more nothing less.

fook yeah!!! any dog that steals donuts deserves to be shot!!! spesh those apple Krispy Kremes

Maximus my 7 year old Hungarian Vizsla... best companion you could ask for.

I've had German Shepherds, including a Shep/Malamute cross who insisted on sleeping on top of his doghouse even at -20F! Had a female Leonberger that went with the ex, great companion dogs.
Current living companions include a Jack Russell Terrorist, aka "thug in a clown suit" as one breeder puts it, and an American Bulldog mix. The JRT is hell on wheels around anything small and furry, has caught and killed squirrels, and once dragged home a rabbit bigger than her (she's 16 #).

1 spaniel (avatar pic), a working dog and, as someone usefully pointed out: "you'd better find a working dog some work, otherwise it'll become self-employed..."

Dogs are simply the best friend man can have. Unconditional love, affection and loyalty.

Here are my girls: Bess and Ruby

Dalmation (Charlie) 8 years old fanastic animal, very loyal, loves to be involved in everything. Smiles when you walk in.

[quote="Jody] He's a dog nothing more nothing less.[/quote]

Maybe get a parrot then and teach it to say 'King of Cadwell' everytime it sees you?

We had to say goodbye to our little boy last week.

He had been bravely fighting kidney failure, and been surprising the vet months ago when by all rights he should have been at death's door, when instead he was running around, having fun and enjoying life.

Unfortunately last week he took a steep turn for the worse, and he stopped eating and just lost his zest for life.
We had to let him go, and he went peacefully at the vet in our arms.
I've never been so distraught in all my life.

He was such a fantastic dog, a real character. We'll miss his funny, slightly retarded ways!!

RIP Fester

Millar,
Genuinely gutted for you , you gonna get another soon?

That Greyhound isnt called Lobster by any chance?

She's called Misty. Her racing name was Fridays Mystic.

All the black bitch hounds look the same.

Does anyone want to look after our Collie while we're away in the Alps for 6 months?

He's coming up to 4 years old, house trained etc, and full of energy.

Let me know if you can help

Yummy!!!



wanna buy DVD?

Just thought i would share my new family with you all its been hard work for the mum and 18hrs a day for me

Here's my little retard.

My Belgian Malinois, Earl. Damn smart boy... He likes his toys in a neurotic way.

thought i might put up my girls here. The little one is daisy a very small american staffordshire bull, the bigger one is her daughter and is half border collie half mom.
Found them in the shelter en we came for one dog, but came out with these two idiots. We have them 1.5 year and it was a struggle, but now they are the best.

Here's one with the last person who said Black was quicker!

good to see some other leo's.here are a couple of pics of my dog ,we are getting a new pup at the end of feb to keep him company

Here's my old boy Vegas. Pure English Bulldog who fulfills the stereotype: farts, burps and snores. Doesn't want to move and demands attention all the time. Stupid as all hell but 100% love.

This is Mr. Baxter, quite a funny pup

the pest otherwise known as honey,got her from a guy at work who couldnt be bothered with her when she was only 2 months old,best natured animal ive ever met! only problem is shes too loving and want to be on me or next to me 24/7!!!

shes 4 now and just as daft

The coolest thing about dogs is that there is a breed for everybody. I love sight hounds. For me there is nothing cooler than the body shape of greyhounds, etc.
I see a guy walking 3 toy poodles and I wonder what the hell is he thinking? To each his own.
I am sure he loves those poodles as much as I love my dogs.
Recently while looking for a place to live in Mexico, my GF and I figured out that we were actually looking for a place for the dogs. As soon as we went to a property, we set out to see if the dogs would be happy there.
Pathetic, huh?

We have two Italian Greyhounds. The female is about 4.5 kilos and the male is about 9 kilos. The female is the fastest and I have clocked her with radar at 47kph! We also have a fooking crazy Border Collie. Completely spastic!
Here are the IGs.

Found this SD related pic from when I first got my bike.


MrZ, got any videos of your dogs taking out the taipans and browns? It took me a while to get comfortable (if that's the word?) handling those and I would love to see how they go about eating them without being bitten.

Viking, be sure to get your dogs teeth cleaned. Sight hounds are notorious for having bad choppers.
In the last two weeks I had both of my dogs teeth cleaned and each had 4 and 6 extraction with nasty infections through and into their nasal passages. I take very good care of my dogs and this still happened. Make me feel like a shit for not noticing it sooner.
I didn't need to spend the two grand this close to a move either but we love our dogs don't we??

Don't I know it.

I brush her teeth twice a week with a dry toothbrush and she's on a part raw diet so gets lamb bones, chicken thighs etc daily. Keeps them in good nick for a hound. They're still a mess when you see her next to the rottie next door though.

I've got a vid of me sending her after a deer and calling her off the chase and recalling back. It'd from a mobile though so isn't too great. Haven't got any kill vids, just the odd photo after she's dispatched it.

Cracking looking IG's. Look well muscled and in good shape.

Unfortunately no bids either... I only know they killed them because my shepherd likes to share half the kill with me and will leave it the back door for me. The Leo would end up dead if he tried to kill one... Not smart or fast enough... The shepherd is the smart one.

when living on acreage, she would run for hrs on end and had no trouble keeping up with my go kart that could do 60kph.... She is getting old though now at 12 years (but she is in good shape, looks like an 8 year old) and still keeps the 2 year old Leo in line. I know I will be devastated when she goes... Best dog ever (the shepherd). All the leo can do is cute, loving, very fluffy.. Genuine dufis

I love my little buddies 2 rotties and a pit quite the pack.They are very trained and my big male rot Oden is a gentle giant.I don't know what I would do with out them.No matter what kind of day I have had they find away to cheer me up.
They know when I am hurting and seem to try to comfort me.One thing for sure I pity the fool that jumps into my yard in the middle of the night.
Oden is the one I count on to protect my wife he loves her so much he is gentle but I have seen the side that you don't want to be on when we had some jerks in the block and came to door.They had to go thru a closed gate that said no salemen to get there my wife told them to go away.They started to talk shit the next thing Oden let them know get the fook out 120 lbs of rottie giving you the eye.They left rather quickley after that.I wish I would have a video of that.I love rotties they know who to let in by your body language.

this is my old buell and my belgium shepard "indy"
... i traded the buell in on the superduke...

My Birthday present!!!!

had to share this..

totally loving the pics and storys of all your dogs guys, its amazing how different each breed is, my staffie is my first dog and im 45 this year! i like reading about you guys in far away places ie not scotland ha ha ha i really like the staffie/english bull type dogs but its interesting to read about each breed and what they are used for,ie south african ridgebacks and suchlike

My German shepphurd is now 7 months old and is a couple of uses for example, last week the bloke who lives behind my house decided to come banging on my door at 11pm and then proceed to threton my mrs who is home alone. Much to his suprise one of my dogs party tricks is opening doors, need less to say he wasn't the big I am when he had 40kg of muscle and teeth very pissed off At him. It was nice to know though with one command of 'down' from the mrs he was flat on his belly between her and the bloke. The funny thing is he came over as he thought I was my dog out barking, I guess at least now he knows first hand what my boy sounds like lol

So if you want a dog that is loyal and will protect you won't go far wrong with a GSD.

got bit on the arse when i was 13 by a german sheppard! it was having a go with another dog and came running out of its garden and had a go at me! had to get a tetanus, on the arse! was a bad day ha ha
