What Kind Of Dog Should I Get?

[pythonjosh]

Can't say I really know Kuneff, but I can say they get a bit bigger than the dog in that pic.

I actually considered a greyhound just because they are pretty small but I could still take them for a run. Pugs and Bulldogs won't be keeping up to even a fast walk lol

Pugs do sound totally retarded when they breathe, even funnier when they snore haha.

Well my parents are 50/50, my Mom doesn't say she wants one but I stumbled over the history on her computer the other day and she was looking at dogs on Kijiji lol my Dad says no. But I know as soon as the dog chills with him for like 10 minutes he's not going to kick him out. My parents aren't cold enough to just kick out a little animal, which is why I need to make sure I get a cute one haha.

Get a pug. Do eeeeeet.

[4DGS]

My buddy has 3 of them and they are hilarious, it's like a herd of grunting and weird breathing when you open the front door. Then they get to you and just stand around and grunt and smell your shoes.

I might be able to handle 2, but I think 3 would be too many. You can definitely hear my pug before you can see him with all the grunting and breathing. And he makes us laugh all the time with his antics. Just be careful of their farts...

We have 2 dogs.

A 13 year old Akita (mentioned in this thread) named Keiko. Akitas get a really bad rap, but ours if the sweetest dog you would ever meet. She is a giant teddy bear that even plays with the cats. She is super chill and just lays around the house these days. She is our JDM puppy


And our 2nd is a 1.5 year old German Shorthair Pointer named Kona and we take her hunting. She is a super happy dog. i'v never met such a happy dog, and she has a shiet ton of energy. Her nickname is Bonehead because thats what she is half the time.




I just realized that i have never posted a pic of our new puppy on here. Well, here you all go. Kona. She is a very cool dog too.

Then go for a Italian Greyhound, it would love on him so much we wont know what to do when its not on his lap, under his arm, beside him.... These dogs love to give affection, they do not seem to need constant petting but they just want to be right beside you or on you.

And run.... my dog chases down the neighborhood cats, passes them, then turns back to play... The dog is fast, and if your looking for a running companion that is super low maintenance this would be perfect... Do you really want a dog that needs a bath every week to keep from stinking???? A dog that needs an hour of brushing every day??? A dog that sheds everywhere??

That German shorthair pointer has me interested, big dog look, medium dog size. Can he run? lol

There is an Italian greyhound about 2 hours from me. Year and a bit old, came from top breeder and has all papers shots and everything. $250 Might go take a look at him.

There is also a litter of dashunds that were born 3 days ago that will be ready just after new years.

unbelievable dog is the Dogo Argentino.. terrible rap but its an amazing dog.. super loving with people and their family.. ridiculously buff it'll haul u around on a bike like no other but terrible around other animals my best friend has one n he had to get rid of his jack russel.. they'd fight for dominance.. (go figure with the crazy little terrier) but its a hunting dog from argentina used to track and hunt wild boar.. beyond loyal to its master.. has no pitbull in it btw.. they can get up to 120lbs but they're banned in 9 countries







a little info on the breed.. and yes they do use them to hunt cougars..

In the 1930s in Argentina, Antonio Nores Martinez set out to breed the ultimate big game hunting dog, a dog not only capable of taking on dangerous game such as wild boar and cougars, but a dog also capable of being a loyal pet and family guardian.

Martinez picked the Cordoba Fighting Dog to be the base for the breed. This breed is extinct today but was described as a large and ferocious dog that was both a great hunter and fighter. He crossed it with Great Dane, Boxer, Spanish Mastiff, Old English Bulldog, Bull Terrier, Great Pyrenees, Pointer, Irish Wolfhound and Dogue de Bordeaux. Martinez kept improving the resulting breed via selective breeding to introduce the desired traits. The first standard for the Dogo Argentino was written in 1928. The Dogo Argentino was introduced to the United States by Dr. Raúl Zeballos, of Las Pampas Kennels, in 1970. Las Pampas Kennels has been continuously breeding Dogo Argentino's since 1950.

Yea that wouldn't work in my house, I have 2 ferrets that pretty much roam freely. They'd scrap for sure.

The ferrets fight enough as it is, they don't need a dog to try and team up on lol

That thing looks jacked though.

Seriously at least give it a chance of checking him/her out. They are usually a little skittish at first, but warm up fast to the attention. super lovable dog... the Grey Hounds have the cool factor as most people never see one, but when they do they are like WOW... thats a cool dog, is it fast?? I just smile and say faster than ANY cat in my neighborhood...

Yea, she will run circles around anything in the neighborhood.

Pretty cute, but they are so skinny lol it's like the total other end of the spectrum, I was looking at possibly the fattest dog ever, now I'm looking at one of the fastest haha.

here is something that you may wanna take a quick read over...

I have to admit that the Italian Greyhound is NOT nearly as fragile as you would think... however, you can not convince this dog that she is not invincible.
