Any of you find that the thing in your life you care most about is your dog? My fam went up to the cabin for a week and the only one of them I miss right now is my dog. Even when I am at the end of my rope, playing with my dog calms me down. By the way, I have an English Setter IP: Logged |

I love my dog as much as anything in this world, he is a poodle (dont start) and I ve had him for about half my life. I hate thinking about the fact that dogs live such short lives, makes me feel like crying........ IP: Logged |

My dogs are the bomb. They crack me up everyday. I got a Pug and a Jack Russel. The Pug cracks me up just looking at him and the things he does. My Jack Russel is a nut though. I've had dogs my whole life but this one is a killer. He kills birds and squirrels weekly. He killed a big ass possum last year and a skunk this year. He might be a small breed but he is a little badass. He won't back down from anything no matter how much bigger they are. IP: Logged |

I hear ya fellas, My mom wanted to buy a puppy for me back in Feb. and I told her I didnt want a one. Well one day I came home from hanging out in Manhattan and there was a 2 month old Golden Retreiver in my bathroom. After being with it for only a day I fell in love with it.

Natymike: Actually, there is nothing wrong with cats (at least in my eyes). I live in a condo and having a dog will just be unrealistic (they stink). I have a cat that someone gave me as a Kitten about 3 years ago and now we are unseperable. Most people say "what is this big motherfucker doing with a fucking cat?" I love that little motherfucker to death and he really thinks he's a dog sometimes. Cats are very independent and all you have to do is clean their shit box out everyday and they don't smell. I'm just glad I don't have to take him outside to do his business early in the morning and throughout the day. My girlfriend loves him too. If I had a house I would probably have a (trained) Pit Bull or a Boxer. IP: Logged |

My dog is family. I almost got fired from my job over it. He was hit and my girlfriend has no car to take him to the vet. I walked out of work. Did not even consider asking. There was an emergency so I had to go. He could not lift his head for over two weeks, but his eyes looked good. I was told several times to kill him. I did not. I hand fed him, washed him, and cleaned up after him (no ability to go outside to use the restroom). Now 7 months later he walkes a little funny but is as good as new. When your brother falls down, or goes into a coma, you do not even think about killing him. No, you use all you can to save him. My dog is family. I have a Sieberian Husky with amazing blue eyes. ------------------ "Obsession is passion. Use it. Make it your strength." -by Puc IP: Logged |

Had a Rottie. He was 2 1/2 years old, 163lbs. and you could still see his ribs. Fucking massive dog. Pure bred w/papers from champions. had to put him down as he bit someone. Very hard thing to do, had to hold him down the whole time, as the vets were to scared to go near him, even when he was muzzled. Didn't seem very humane to me.  Pitbull IP: Logged |

My parents had my dog put down when I was away one day...I think I was about 13. They were worried some kids in the neighborhood would get in the yard and get killed (he was big and quite wild, especially with strangers! He actually pinned a some kids in a tree for a couple hours that were trying to steel firewood). Anyway, didn't talk to the parents for about 4 months after that. Literally. He was part Alaskan Malamute, part German Shepard...named Tundra. Weighed about 90lbs at 2 yrs old. Solid as a rock and stronger than shit. You did not take this dog for a walk. With that sled dog heritage all he wanted to do was "PULL"! Somebody mentioned cats?! Cats are great live bait while muskie fishing, wish I had a few for this weekend! IP: Logged |

The Rat Terrior probably has a lot of Jack blood in it. I think it was the Brittish Navy that used to keep Jack's on the ships because they are excellant rat dogs. My damn neighbor lays out bird food like crazy and we live near a shopping complex so we used to have a mouse problem. There hasn't been a mouse in the house for 3 years ever since I got my JRT. He's probably killed about 10-15 of them and we didn't even know they were around. I had a mixed black lab about 5 years ago and I had to put him to sleep. That shit sucks big time. When I was younger I had a German Sheppard that was like 1/4 wolf. He was cool as hell but he tore up some dog that came into our yard and my Dad said he had to take him to the "farm". That's bullshit that you have to do that when the dog is defending his territory. IP: Logged |

I wanna get me a German Shepard puppy and have him trained like they train the police dogs. Its cool how they can train them to be nice as shit and attack on command, then stop on command. I got a cat now. Hes cool as shit. Me and my brother got bored a couple years back and trained him to sit, shake, and give high five. I used to rough him up(all in fun) and got yelled at for it, but said I was toughin him up (just a lie). Well my mom had to take him to the vet a couple days ago and it took 3 people to hold him down to give him a shot. But I would love to get a German shep puppy. They're cool as shit and chick magnets. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I just looked up some info about Rat Terriers and as soon as you see a picture, you can see that they share a lot of the same blood a JRT does. They both stem from Fox Terriers. The JRT was bred mostly for fox hunting and and quarrying game. The Rat Terrier was bred strictly for rodents. They used to throw one in with a bunch of rats and bet on how many it could kill in a certain amount of time. Teddy Roosevelt owned one. Oh yeah thy are a mix of Fox Terrier, Manchester Terrier, and Beagles . I think that's all. The JRT shares the Fox Terrier and Beagle bloodline but it also has some bulldog blood in it. Not the bulldogs we see today but the original ones that the bull terrier and pit bull terriers were derived from. This gives the JRT it's square features and iron mucles. Not to mention it's aggressiveness.

Hey Rexie you should look into getting a retired German Sheppard police dog. They only keep them in service for a certain amount of years and most of the stations have an adoption program. You loose out on having them since a puppy but you get one badass already trained dog. IP: Logged |

Latimer, You said your dog will is a little bad ass and will attack anything. Well I breed mini-long hair dash's(they are a half dog tall and 2 dogs long). Anyway 2females and a male. They are my pets, but I do let the little man play. hehhee You need to show you dog a mirror and explain to him that he is a little guy!!! I had to have that talk with mine. After his nuts dropped he started attacking everything. He killed a possum about 3 months ago. Theses dogs were breed to go in the holes and flush out baggers. ANY dog that is brave enough and tough enough to screw with a wild animal wether it be a skunk or anything else is surley a bad ass. The reason I said to show him, himself in the mirro and have a talk with him is mine bit a yellow lab in the back of his leg the other day. The lab was just wondering around in our front yard. The lab yelped and look off running, but looked back and Saw bailey and stopped. I grabbed Baily just before the lab bit his ass in half. I got to watch that little phucker or he is going to be dead. Sure if funny though! IP: Logged |

I know what you're saying CheckMate. We used to have a Golden Retriever and he wasn't mean at all. My JRT kept messing with him and would get into it with him all the time. Eventually the Golden started fighting back and we decided to give him to my sister. It's funny though cause the Golden is massive weighing in at about 85-90 lbs. Now we watch him on occassion and it's the funniest thing seeing my JRT punk this big beast out. The Golden will actually bow his head and be submissive. Still I have to watch them all the time cause it wouldn't take much for the Golden to smoke his little ass. I'd hate to see my JRT get close to a Rotty or another big bad breed. You got to watch him around strangers too but he's pretty good around kids but if they get out of line he'll let them know. You got to be carefull with any dogs especially the aggressive breeds.

Yeah my Pug is great at doing that. They are just so different looking and the faces they make are something else. They're the laziest breed I've ever had too. Like Kimmy said there's nothing like a Pug to cuddle up with. I think I'm to macho to say I cuddle with it but he does sleep in my bed and is alwasy right next to you. My JRT is always near my feet and seldom touching. Pugs got some horrible farts though. Maybe it's just my dog but that little shit can clear out the room. IP: Logged |

MY Stud(bailey), I think got phucked up when he as about 3 months old and has never been the same. A friend of my dropped some speed(crank) on the floor at my house in my bathroom and the dog was in there. He drop some on the floor and the dog got it. He would not stop putting the ball in my face that night while I was trying to sleep. He has played with that ball ever since. It is the same ball for 4 years now and we have not lost it, because he keeps is with him all the time and only set it down to eat or drink. That just make me laugh every day when I come in. He is phucked up, but he loves to screw the two bitches. He puts the ball down then also. He does not put it down when he is shitting or pissing. IP: Logged |

Hey Latimer: Where do I go into looking into adopting a police dog. I have no clue as to where to look. I don't know if they keep them at the police station or what. How old are the dogs anyway when they retire them? Now to the hard part, how do I talk my old man into letting me get one. We already got a Maltese thats older than me by a couple years. The dog is no fun for me. I need something that can tackle my ass yet obey me and stop on command. Not something smaller than my cat(no lie its alot smaller than him). Those k-9's sound like my kinda dog even if it has a couple years to his name, I wont have to house break him (woo-hoo). I want a boy so I can breed him, they don't have them neutered before hand do they? ------------------ IP: Logged |

I'm not sure Rexie. My brother-in-law was talking about it before. I'd say your best bet is to call a police station and your area and ask them about it or if they can provide any information. Call a local vet and ask about a retired police dog adoption program. Either should provide you with information or point you in the right direction. I'd say try calling a cop shop first and your best bet would be to call a major one. IP: Logged |

Hey Latimer: My pugs pass gass all the time, sometimes when they're sitting right next to you and they look at you like "What r u looking at?!" They also burp and sneeze alot too. I like them lazy though, so they don't need to go for wals alot. I thin i am the only pug owner who doesn't sleep with them. That's why I got two of them, so they can sleep together.

Yeah pugs are definately a unique breed. They're all the time huffing, puffing, farting, snorting, and snoring. They make some funny sounds if you push them or horse around with them too. Cool dogs. Very easy breed to take care off. IP: Logged |
