Favourite dog's breed? - Chinks not allowed

[Monolith]

My husband breeds Cattle Dogs (registered before I cop backyard breeder bullshit). I have poms (no they’re not yappy ankle biters, they’re awesome happy dogs related to spitz and samoyeds), we found out the hard way my Pom bitch could sneak into our studs kennel when she had a litter of miniature cattle dogs. We kept a bitch, she’s an awesome dog! View attachment 1269268

Show the poms too.

That sassy look on her face! I love it! Miniature Cattle Dogs has to be just about the coolest idea ever and now I'm going to have to find one.

Golden retrievers are the ultimate goodboys. Very sweet, great with kids. Many of the ones I've known, not that bright though, probably due to being inbred.

Mixed. The best boys dont need no pedigree.

Shetland Sheepdog. Among the smartest dogs in the world. Often mistaken for little collies.

I love all doggos (except for Shit Bulls), but I do have a few favorites.

Small breeds: Dachshunds, Toy Fox Terriers, Corgis, Boston Terriers, and Bulldogs.

Large breeds: Great Danes, Bull Mastiffs, Irish Wolfhounds, Leonbergers, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Dogue de Bordeaux, English Mastiffs.

But lately I've come to favor designer breeds, especially for large dogs since there is more genetic diversity and less likely to have genetic health problems. I really like Gladiator Danes, North American Mastiffs, American Mastiffs, and especially Great Weimars.

I currently have a two year old Great Weimar and he's tied for the best doggo I've ever had. Great Weimars are pretty much 50/50 Great Dane/Weimaraner with a little Labrador added in early in the breed's creation. They were bred to be a flexible companion who is happy to do whatever with their people, from lounging on the couch to hiking in the mountains, just so long as they're with their people. Some have even been trained to be gun dogs, since Weimaraners are both retrievers and pointers.

My Great Weimar is named Odin. He just turned two on 1 May. He's just the best dog. He loves everyone he meets, he's got a sweet goofy personality, he loves to go for rides and on adventures, and he's great with my kids. He will let Baby Dude do whatever to him and just patiently sit there. He's also really smart. It only took me about a week to housebreak him, and he's the first dog I've been able to teach to "shake", and he shakes with the proper/right paw.

Here's Odin the Great Weimar:

German Shepherds are intelligent, loyal, brave and will kill anyone trying to hurt you. In my experience they can get too agro with anyone not in the household. Rottweilers are the same except I find them a wee bit smarter about who they decide to rip to shreds. They're also good with other animals and young children in the household, which bring out the herding instinct. I think herding large beasts like cattle without hurting/damaging them (and not being hurt in return) required a Rottweiler to be a bit smarter than a GSD which herded sheep/goats they could easily intimidate.

All Spitzes are great dogs. Sight hounds too. I'm not a fan of small dogs but pugs, French Bulldogs and poms are wonderful. Shame about the pug and the awful way they were bred to have deformed muzzles. People get Huskies and Border Collies (both fantastic breeds) but those are high maintenance dogs; they have a lot of energy so they have to be exercised and worked or they'll destroy your home. They end up in shelters/rescue group often. I hate people that get a dog without understanding the breed.

I've been looking into old working dog breeds as both my GSD and Rottweiler developed hip dysplasia and it broke my heart watching them suffer. I formed a close bond with both my dogs, it's hard to describe but when you see an animal, with a total disregard for its own safety and without hesitation, leap to save or defend you it has an impact. Old and less popular breeds (like some Spitz breeds) tend to have fewer issues. I've been thinking about getting an Akita or Shiba puppy from Japan when I go there (whenever this quarantine nonsense) is over but my heart yearns for a GSD or Rottweiler.

All brachycephalic dogs were bred for smushed faces, not just Pugs. Bulldogs, Boxers, Pekingese, Boston Terriers, etc. were all bred to have that particular physical trait. Pugs didn't have it half as bad as Bulldogs. You look at modern Bulldogs and compare them to historical Bulldogs, and you can see how badly that breed got it. In fact, there has been a breeding movement to get closer to the historical standards for the breed with the Olde English Bulldogge. And then there's French Bulldogs, who are so genetically/physically fucked that they often have to be artificially inseminated and give birth via c-section.

Akitas: Only because there's an incredibly violent manga series about one, and his descendants fighting bears, wolves, monkeys, and other dogs. Also, the series has been going on and off for over thirty years.

Also, Kangals.

And Belgian Malinoises.

I'm a huge mad Max fan so I always wanted to Side around in trans am with an Australian sheepdog in the passenger side and cans of Purina in the trunk ( cause for some reason no dog food company has ever asked Warner Bros about making an actual dinki dee meat and veggies for dogs IRL)
