I have a jack russell

 

[West Texas CEO]

I have a Bichon Frise and a "baussie" (Australian Shepherd/Beagle). I love my Bichon to death - Bichons are extremely smart, friendly, sweet, and loyal. I plan on always owning at least one Bichon for the rest of my life. My baussie is the smartest dog I have ever worked with (must come from the Aussie). He is currently in training for agility/flyball and at this point, appears that he will excel at dog sports due to his vast athleticism/intelligence. Both are great dogs!

I'll always have a Rottie.

Two American cocker spaniels

Supposed to be pedigree dogs but they will eat out of the dustbin. Will eat plastic. Underwear and anything that may kill them. They want to eat it. (Chocolate, garlic).
Also one of them ate my pyjama shorts.

Bonkers dogs in the best way. Also lovely and friendly and love people. They would lick anyone to death.

 

[ShadowNate]

A Greek harehound, my first dog of my own, and I absolutely love her. She runs like a cheetah when she plays, but it's hard to find areas that are safe for her to run around where I live.

 

[V1LÆM]

not really a dog person but have had a couple in the past.

a little ankle biting jack russel and a gorgeous beautiful german shephard. the german shephard was an ex police dog that we rehomed.

My family had a Brittany Spaniel pair growing up. The male was absolutely insane and actually answered the phone once when nobody was home and started howling, which led the person to call the cops because they thought my mom was dying. The female was the most docile dog ever.

We also fostered two Pekingese for a while until they were adopted (my mom found them on the side of the road). These dogs are also batshit insane.

I have no idea why I haven't had a dog myself because they are a joy.

Don't know my dogs breed, only that he's a cute little rascal.

[PaddyOCanager]

Boston Terriers and a Jack Russell/Beagle mutt growing up. Now that I'm an adult, I don't want the responsibility.

 

[Mistake]

Story time. I grew up with german shepherds, usually retired police dogs. My grandfather got one straight from Germany, and had to feed it for a week before it trusted him. Well one day, our house got vandalized so we had to call the cops. When an officer finally came by, the dog broke it’s steel chain off the tree and attacked him. He was ticked obviously, but my gramps said “it’s your fault for not calling and coming unannounced.”

A few weeks went by, and my grandfather gets a call at work, with the cops yelling on the phone. “Your dog is down here making a scene! Come and get the damn thing!” Turned out, the dog broke its chain again, ran down to the police station, and attacked the same officer.

Black Labradors and a Rottweiler

 

[BossLackey]

I guess it's time that I cry.

When I was 13 or so, my family rescued a corgi named Rusty. It was clear he had been neglected and either abused or around abuse. He was incredibly skittish and had hundreds of ticks all over him. When we brought him home, he wouldn't come out of his kennel. I laid next to his open kennel for several hours to put him at ease with me and he came around. He attached himself to me completely and became my best friend. He would sleep with me every night and would act silly and happy around me when we were alone but around other people he was incredibly shy. Even after years around my parents, he was only mine and no one got to see his true self but me.

After several years, he got sick and eventually when the medication and special food didn't help, I had to keep him at the vet overnight for observation. On the way to our big family Christmas party, my dad got a call from the vet. They had been doing exploratory surgery and found that he was riddled with lymphoma. His organs practically fell apart in the doctor's hands and they decided he shouldn't wake back up. I had to pretend with my extended family that my dog, my best friend, had not just died alone without me. I never got to say goodbye. Never got to comfort him as the only person who could. The only person that he felt safe with. I just thought he was sick and would get better. And then he was gone.

I can't tell you how incredibly hard it is to think about him even a decade later. He was so innocent and loving. Not being with him at the end, and not having as much time with him in those last months not knowing he was slowly dying, is a wound that still hasn't healed. I hold that guilt with me.

I've had other dogs and will have more in the future. But nothing will ever come close to the bond I had with Rusty.

My neighbor has a pit bull that gives me a heart attack each time I see it.

It's a calm and friendly dog, but goodness gracious.

I have had two Greyhounds and a Jack Russell over the years.

 

[64bitmodels]

My type of dog is a very interesting one, they're called a notreal. One special thing about this breed compared to others is that they're invisible. Not only that, but they don't bark, pant, eat, or crap. You can't even feel them, or pet them. This makes them very low maintenance as you basically don't have to do much to take care of them.

 

[thefool]

Growing up my fam always had mutts.
The one dog I eventually took care by myself was a labrador retriever, my (idiot) cousin's dog, which was going back to a shelter but I was so attached to him I took him instead. He was a slob glutton bastard, loved water (he was more seal than dog I think) and we had an awesome time together.

 

[Alex Anderson]

My dad had beagles for hunting deer purposes. One of them somehow managed to crawl under the chain link fence to an adjacent pen and knock up a couple of the girls. Go, Fatty!

 

[Batiman]

I’m a big dog lover and grew up with a Shepard huskie mix before we put him down. Now I have a little Pomeranian I adopted that someone couldn’t keep. Love the little fucker even though he can get yappy. What a personality this little shit has.

 

[Brian Fellows]

I currently have 3 Siberian Huskies.

This is Simba, my bernese mountain dog who shared my life from 1998 to 2004.
He was a kind silly goof and I miss him dearly even today.
Dogs are pure love

We have a Jack Russell and two Chorkypoo Jacks although one looks suspiciously like a black and white Jack Russell.

The white one looks like he is ready to defend a criminal in a british court room.

So this is why you were sniffing my butt and trying to lick my balls last time we saw each other uh??!

Great breed of dog, known to man

 

[Tams]

Mostly mongrels. Loved them all.

We had a German Shepherd when I was a small kid. Most lovely dog to humans and even let me ride on him. Used to be taller than me when I was standing and him sitting. Sheep though... yeah he went for them. Injured a sheep once (was on the lead - a choke collar no less but was too strong) and it's a miracle that my mum managed to stop the farmer shotgunning him.

 

[nush]

Corgi, amazing dog, smart, stubborn and bossy but very loving. Also very popular with people out on the street, if I go out without her people will ask where she is.

 

[Rockondevil]

Throughout my life I’ve had a Shih Tzu, Bull Mastiff, 2 Cattle Dogs, 2 Mini Foxies, Kelpie, Labrador x some other stuff.

Currently have 2 Siberian Huskies who are amazing. Not recommended for a new dog owner though.
The breed are basically permanent toddlers. They definitely have selective hearing.

Why are you going through so many dogs?

Why are you going through so many dogs?

Grew up having land so you could have 4-5 dogs easily at once.
Now I live suburban and am limited to 2.

 

[Amory]

We have an Australian labradoodle, Maisie. She’s a good pup

 

[Winter John]

We've had malamutes ever since we moved here. They're great with kids. Real patient. Super friendly with everyone they meet. My mom used to have two golden retrievers. One day I took them out for a walk and all these girls were going nuts over them. I ended up with a bunch of phone numbers. So after that, whenever I was hard up I'd go over to my mom's and take the dogs past the college. They were the best wingmen ever.

I won’t count dogs I did not pick or acquire myself.


I have two boys.

1. Mix Duck tolling retriever/lab
2. Red tail hound

 

[JimmyRustler]

Growing up I always wanted a Beagle so in my early 20s I finally got one. Later on he stayed with my mother though and by now has already passed aways.

Would love to have on again and do the teaching properly this time but I just don’t have the time any more. Perhaps when I’m retired I‘ll get a new dog once more.
