    Deciding on dog breed

    It's too damn hard, seriously. I opened a Husky thread a while back cause it's the dog I've wanted pretty much my entire life. Akita's are amazing too.

    I've been reading up on Husky's though and the amount of hair they lose, how they refuse to listen to their boss a lot of times, are kind of a turn off. The hair not so much to me, that's an issue my gf has. But refusing to listen is something I don't like when it comes to safety for other people/dogs, etc.

    Do all dogs stink, by the way? I know some stink worse than others but but father in law has 2 dogs (no idea what breed) that get washed and trimmed a LOT but they still stink horribly.

    Can some of you throw around some tips? What breeds are really cool to get? I really don't like the standard dogs like golden retrievers, labs, etc. I'm sure they are fantastic dogs, but I don't want to own one.

    Cheers!

      haha just fuckin around...seriously, my buddy had a husky before, great dog.
      it worked well as we would go there everyday after classes and go out with the dog and throw the ball for it....they need a lot of exercise.

        What if I have a huge cock with a sweet throbbing vane?



        See, a lot of people say you can't have your husky unleashed cause chances are it will run off on it's own as soon as he's distracted and his instinct takes over. Ofcourse there's exceptions but as a general rule that's what they say. That kinda sucks too..

            Rhodesian Ridgeback. Lot of personality. Energetic for the first couple of years but mellow out after that. They become low key but will play and expend a lot of energy if you want them too. They are versatile and are fine in any climate. The ridge on their back is very unique and very cool. They make good watch dogs and despite the trait of them being standoffish around people, they are very friendly but will protect you fiercely if need be. Give them a look.

            Good luck on your choice of breed. I know it can be a pain with so many to choose from.

              I like mutts. Check the dog-pound, sometimes death row doggies are the best pets.

                  Thanks man, looks awesome for sure. I have 0 knowledge about breeds so a lot of the choosing is very exiting.

                  I'm 23 and I'm planning to do long term world traveling in a few years. It would be great if I could take the dog with me. So I guess a dog that's good with a lot of change is also mandatory.

                    Dude, YES. I came across two in a zoo a few weeks back. They were amazing, seriously. But I do like a badass looking dog, dont ask me why, guess I'm shallow like that ;) That's why I love huskys too.

                    Here's the chow chows I saw at the zoo:

                      I'm a Golden Retriever man myself, but I'm fond of all big dogs. Whatever breed you choose, there is usually a local rescue organization specializing in it. Check them out first. Allot of people have had to give up their pets due to hard times lately.

                        Will definitely check out shelters

                        What about the smell question? Do all dogs stink or does that have to do with the length of their coat or something?

                            I have three small, short-haired dogs and one large-ish long haired dog. None of them really stink unless they find something interesting to roll in.

                            But I'm used to the smell of dogs.

                                I have 2 lab mixes I got from the humane society a year and a half ago, great dogs. The girl is a lab and border collie mix, very very sweet with people/kids/cats/dogs. She figured out how to use the bathroom outside very fast when shes laying around you can move em,hug em, play with them, etc. They are sweet, playful, and loyal dogs. Big though, my girl is around 85 lbs. The guy is good as well but not as nice, more cautious. He is beagle and lab mix. Still a good dog but not as trusting with everything.

                                Good luck to you with whatever you end up choosing.

                                  You notice other peoples dogs smell and get used to your own one so don't notice as much. Also some dogs seem to love swimming in nasty water where others won't go in water at all.

                                  Short fur is less messy BUT the dog will get cold and miserable in the winter.

                                    Over here you can ;)

                                    Having said that, I live in Holland. In 23 years of my life I've never heard of anyone who keeps their dog outside in the yard over here. I believe that in general a lot of dogs live outside in the garden in the US, which is great, but over here they spend their time indoors since it rains 95% of the time in this god damned shit hole.

                                    Man, I even forgot about mixed breeds, the list just got 15 times longer.

                                      Jack Russels are great - but I dont think that they are for this guy.

                                      Red Setters are amazing as well....

                                            I see you are interested in the ridgeback, here is a vid from a good show on animal planet. This episode explains a little about the breed.

                                              Some times they're not. I got a golden lab a few years back that was abandoned from my local shelter. Anyway, he's a great looking dog, but easily the dumbest on the planet.

                                              A typical day consists of chewing something he's been told 100x not to or barking for zero reason. It's hard to explain, but he's just off with the pace of life. Like one time I was playing with my little terrier on the ground and his big dumb ass got so excited he ran around the couch and clocked me in the jaw dislocating it.

                                              I was home alone and freaked out because my jaw would not go back in place. So I get my keys to rush to the hospital, he thinks it's park time, jumps up hitting my hand flipping my keys right into his water bowl.

                                              The keys won't turn the truck alarm off because they're wet, so I had to sit and wait for my wife to drive an hour away to take me to the hospital as he's jumping up and down thinking it's park time.

                                              Shit like this happens so much in my house we call it getting Homer-ed

                                                    In my opinion, the smaller the dog, the less the smell. I have a jack russel/whippet mix....she is batshit crazy and totally worth it!

                                                        Golden Retriever

                                                        One of the best decisions I ever made for my family.

                                                        The temperament is friendly, doesn't bark and sleeps all the time.

                                                        My retriever gets my TV remote, my slippers and picks up various other objects on the floor without damaging them. My retriever also retrieves beer from my wife when she is downstairs.

                                                        Retrievers just want to please all the time.

                                                              I've been reading up on Husky's though and the amount of hair they lose, how they refuse to listen to their boss a lot of times, are kind of a turn off. The hair not so much to me, that's an issue my gf has. But refusing to listen is something I don't like when it comes to safety for other people/dogs, etc.

                                                              Do all dogs stink, by the way? I know some stink worse than others but but father in law has 2 dogs (no idea what breed) that get washed and trimmed a LOT but they still stink horribly.

                                                              Can some of you throw around some tips? What breeds are really cool to get? I really don't like the standard dogs like golden retrievers, labs, etc. I'm sure they are fantastic dogs, but I don't want to own one.

                                                                I said I'm planning on long term world travel and said that having a dog that could come with would be the perfect option. Kind of asking at the same time if there's a breed capable of doing so.

                                                                Not a selfish guy and love all animals, would never make a stupid decision like getting a dog and then give it up a year later.

                                                                    I've been reading up on Husky's though and the amount of hair they lose, how they refuse to listen to their boss a lot of times, are kind of a turn off. The hair not so much to me, that's an issue my gf has. But refusing to listen is something I don't like when it comes to safety for other people/dogs, etc.

                                                                    Do all dogs stink, by the way? I know some stink worse than others but but father in law has 2 dogs (no idea what breed) that get washed and trimmed a LOT but they still stink horribly.

                                                                    Can some of you throw around some tips? What breeds are really cool to get? I really don't like the standard dogs like golden retrievers, labs, etc. I'm sure they are fantastic dogs, but I don't want to own one.

                                                                    Cheers!

                                                                        A typical day consists of chewing something he's been told 100x not to or barking for zero reason. It's hard to explain, but he's just off with the pace of life. Like one time I was playing with my little terrier on the ground and his big dumb ass got so excited he ran around the couch and clocked me in the jaw dislocating it.

                                                                        I was home alone and freaked out because my jaw would not go back in place. So I get my keys to rush to the hospital, he thinks it's park time, jumps up hitting my hand flipping my keys right into his water bowl.

                                                                        The keys won't turn the truck alarm off because they're wet, so I had to sit and wait for my wife to drive an hour away to take me to the hospital as he's jumping up and down thinking it's park time.

                                                                        Shit like this happens so much in my house we call it getting Homer-ed

                                                                        So if you're looking for a new mutt anytime soon, he's chipped, neutered, and I'll pay for shipping.

Food, restaurants, shopping, access to places, climate, travel, laws, having to always have the dog with you, hotel accommodation, local people. Italy they loved Rajah. I know in some countries in the Far East they would rather shoot a dog than pat it. You might want to take a boat trip and can't because they don't allow dogs on the boat or a flight in a small plane. Then rabbis is a problem in some countries.

                                                                                        Here's the dog I had until I had a baby. Seems to fit your needs nicely, if you're an active person. Maybe 2/3 the size of a Ridgeback, very similar colour, fast as shit, very loving, smart, affectionate, playful, everything you'd want in a dog.

                                                                                        Here's the Dog 101 video:

                                                                                        Caveats would be they're not kidding when they say the dog wants to be with you at all times. If you're at your computer, your dog will be underneath your desk. If you get up, he's coming with you. You'll be tripping over him all the time, and using your knees to keep him out of things.. Like if you're going into the fridge, guess what, he's going with you. ;)

                                                                                        They're awesome looking dogs, when they see something they're interested in their ears perk up like triangles and they pause.. as seen here:



                                                                                        I sent my dog to Mexico with my wife's family when I had a baby because I didn't want to take the risk. They'd found him on the highway when he was ~2, he'd already had a broken and healed paw, big scar on his nose, didn't respond to commands.. Pretty positive he was in a hunting pack and got away. Vizsla's are a popular hunting/bird dog. He'd snap if you went for his food the first time, then think twice about it and let you.. He was territorial, etc. Just couldn't trust him with a baby.

                                                                                        When my kid is a bit bigger I'll get another one, this time from a puppy.

Always wants to know where you are.

                                                                                              This was common too indoors, this weird looking run around a small room when they get excited, then pausing, looking at you for a second, then back to running. In this video it's the wire haired kind. I've never seen one in real life yet.



                                                                                              It's {youtube}ID{/youtube} but with square brackets.

                                                                                                    My gf obviously wants a fluffy cute dog, but I'll have to respectfully throw that suggestion in the trashcan.

                                                                                                    Gonna think this through long and hard and read up on dog training as much as I can. I never want to underestimate the time and effort I'll have to spend on the dog. Will post pics ofcourse if we decide to get one!
