What dog do you like?

[Ashmoria]

no

the dog doesnt even know he did whatever the bad thing is. he just knows that .....if the trash is scattered about the kitchen the master will be angry. dogs learn through repetition. and they are very sensitive to human moods.

so much so that a dog will pretend to be OK around his master when he is sick or in pain.

Again, I have to say tsomthing against that. Earlyer my dog barked, and imediatly ducked his head down, looking guilty. To me that clearly shows that he knew he shouldn't have barked.

does he "look guilty" when no people are around when he barks?

you can train your dog not to bark. if you do it by punishing him when he barks he may well expect a punishment when he barks.

heh, actualy, I have to say that they do. In a way. My dogs see the stockigns and get exited, because we have stockings for them, and they get treats. They seemed to learn what teh stockings were for.

sure.

but if there are NO dog stockings with treats in them at christmas they wont resent that you didnt get them anything.

if you bring out the dog stockings full of treats in july they will be just as excited.

if you wash the dog stockings (so they dont smell like treats) and put them in the living room they probably wont expect them to be full of treats.

I do agree with that.

I have no idea. We don't punish him we just yell at him and only sometimes. Somtimes we let him bark.

Greyhounds =3
They are cuddly couch potatos.
And the one time a day they get energetic, you dont even need to walk them if you don't feel like it.
Just let them out in the yard and they run laps then come inside, looking pleased that they beat you in the race you weren't participating in.

Dogs....

You gotta love em. I have a Weird story about my dog Teddy. It's kind of ironic that his brother's name was Noodles at the breeding place we picked him up at. Well, Noodles's dad died, and his mom had no mate.

So then Noodles steps in, and you can guess what happens next. That's the only instance I've heard of a brother being a dad.

Should be obvious.

Beagles!

My current dog is a beagle, second favorite breed. They all have so much personality in a little package and they seem to live forever (mine is 12).

• Siberian Husky. I personally own one, and he has been my best friend for years now. He is a great dog, extremely loyal, and overall friendly. We have had several Siberian Huskies, and they all were amazing pets!
• English Mastiff. I have two at the moment, and they are friendly and playful. They are great dogs to have if your not intimidated by large dogs and drool!

[Wilgrove]

I love the Boxer breed myself.

You probably know the story about how he cut off the sleeve of his robe rather than disturb his cat, who was sleeping on it. Even I wouldn't go that far. It's not like cats exactly suffer from insomnia, y'know. I'd just politely push him off and give him a pat on the head, he'll be asleep again before I'm out the door. (I just wuv wuvvy widdle puddy tats too.)

I can sympathize with him. If there's a cat on top of me and I want to go somewhere/do something else, really, too damn bad. Especially if it's over a hundred pounds of cat. And yeah, I do feel bad if I wake her up, even though, like you said, they're quite capable of passing out again an instant later.

My comfort comes before the comfort of the cat sitting on me. This even applies to my cat, which I have trained to get off my lap when I tell him to.

i do too but they have life span issues that i wasnt willing to risk.

[Spookytown (Ancient)]

Long hair chihuaha, I have one...His name is Dingo, and he looks like a little baby fox.

[The Anti-Cosmic Gods]

I'm a cat person. I judge dogs on a dog by dog basis. My girlfriend's mom has a corgi, and that just might be the cutest dog in the world. So I'm going to say corgis.

Eh, to me, and apparently to others, one's comfort is the cat sitting on them.

Didn't say its not comfortable, but if I have an itch or need a drink or someone knocks at the door; the cat is moving.

[Unilisia]

The German Shepherd and the Pug are my favorite dog breeds. Because my hubbies pug IS BEST PUG and by father's German Shepherd is just so awesomely trained its not even funny what you can make him do.

[Isle of Kesha]

I'm a cat person, but I like bichon frises.

[Icamera]

What, no labrador/golden retriever option on there? They're consistently ranked as two of the most popular breeds.

[The Kangaroo Republic]

I'm a cat person myself, like...really, cats are so much more cuter than dogs, especially when they attempt to rip your arm apart when you're cuddling with them.

...

Siberian Huskies are awesome though.

Pretty lame and cliche, though.
