What kind of dogs do DU people have?

Mine is a devilishly delightful German shorthaired pointer named Daisy.

But had to give him away when I moved off to university, which sucked. Made sure he got a good home though.

Siberian Husky. I love em

a beagle/daschund mix that's the color of a daschund and long like one, but tall like a beagle.
And a pug. They make quite the pair, and are best friends!

And they love sleeping with their Daddy in the mornings after I get up and get ready for work!

Bratwurst is a standard doxie.... short and long.

Bratwust looks like a fun puppy dog!

He loves to burrow under the covers and runs like a rottie at the doggie park.

I'm partial to pugs, if you hadn't noticed!

He actually got hit on the highway and the people who hit him knocked on my in-laws' door, told them what happened, and left. They took him to the ER vet, and we ended up with him. They promised he was a pudgy little lap dog. Well, he's hyper as hell (but he's such a sweetie!) and pretty small for a pug. His eyes are crooked so he's great entertainment!

beautiful!

Your dachsund is cute, too! They look like happy dogs.

They are great. And they know it, that's for sure!

best kind

What a beautiful dog!

But she doesn't let it go to her head.

They are wonderful dogs and they are very sensitive.

adopted from the local Humane Society.

I love labs; I can't wait to have room to get one.

The puggo is pretty great too; I like the black ones a lot.

One's a morning dog, the other isn't.
One's neurotic, the other is very laissez-faire.
One fetches, the other doesn't.

We should've called them Mutt 'n' Jeff! :)

German shorthairs have been very different. I can't believe that even among dogs there are some that are "morning" mutts and others that aren't, but I've found that to be true. Have to roust the Doofus Daisy out in the a.m. My other GSP was more than happy to be up and at 'em.

a Great Dane mix...
a Rottie/sharpei mix...
a boxer/beagle mix...
an Ihavenofrikkinclue mix...

and then there are the 8 rescues here...

Here's one:

My grandma has a Boston, her name is Cricket and she's a sweetheart!

They really do make GREAT dogs. Here's my girl:

so lucky to have forever homes. Both of my GSPs were rescues.

:D

Lab/Cattle Dog/Dingo/Godonlyknows

Cute and knows it too! :hi:

Sleeping-


And awake:

she(?)'s in the know.

;) :hi:

Great stuff! That dog looks like it has personality!

Thanks Maestro! It's good to see you around more! :hi:

Wezl and Dumbass the Catahoulas (fancy name for mutt, in itself, I think) and Hoden the stub tailed Austrailian Shep mix.

(that should be an O with the two dots for you German speakers - and you will then know the name my sister conned me into calling this dog)

and a big baby to boot.

Also, have a little Benji-type foster dog.

He was 6 when he died. He had Addison's disease. He was our baby before we had kids. We miss him so much. Every time we see a Rottie have to ask to pet him/her. Ours was a big teddy bear too. He had his Good Citizenship. Still have his picture up. His name was Darwin. We can't wait to have another dog, but the kids have to get a little bigger.

although she looks totally collie lab, she's 9. Then there is her son, who is also the son of a beagle mix, he's 7. Then I have a female who is half rat terrier and half blue heeler. She is about three.

YOU! WE HAVE OUTSTANDINGLY GREAT DOG COMPANIONS! Thanks for sharing your pet photos.

But if I did, I would have a Brittany spaniel.

They are rambunctious and love to run all over. I know they are great with kids

The triplets have one, they (the triplets) are five, and the dog (who is seven or eight) is great with them.

But he is rambunctious. My sister's Brittany is much calmer. He is older, but has always been that way.

My dog is like your sisters, calm and corncerned. Even as a puppy he was polite, well behaved, and unobtrusive, yet friendly and loves affection. We call him our "teddy-dog" because he's happiest cuddling between us.

He's very sweet, and great with kids. An 80 lb lap dog lol. :P

Buddy, Sparky, and Paco. All mixed breeds, one given away, the other two dumped.

Each of our four kids brought one home before he or she left home, but Brutus, the dachshund, died this summer. :(

interest? A tasty tidbit from DU?

They are, of course, all liberals. :)

Sorry to hear about Brutus.

my little girl

We love them both . . .



They are big Dolphin Fans

Paco, the smart one, got away. ;)

helmets? The shirts are outrageous!

GO HORNS!!!! How cute!!!

an italian greyhound.

and i have 3 rat terriers, rags, socks, and zipper.

Wow! :)

I love Boxers -- they are so cool looking. All the Boxers I have ever met have had very strong personalities.

lost a wonderful golden retriever earlier this year to an aggressive form of lymphoma - it was so lonely - that the plunge through puppy-hood has been once again taken.

Goldens are great dogs... but they are patience challenging puppies.

like 'em. I love watching golden pups in training classes. My GSP is very smart and 6 or 7 percent of the time she wants to be trained--but the rest--well that is why she is the Devilish Daisy.

personality! While bedeviling at times, I bet she also gives tons of joys in her play and antics.

Goldens are cute - and generally amenable to training (but our last one chose to never acknowledge understanding the word "NO" - to her it always meant... "Game Time!") - they are bundles of distractable energy when they are young - so they are trainable when you have their attention - and when they don't, as our last one, think that the word "No" is a game word for "challenge ya..." ;-)

Sitting with LynzM

:D

Our older guy in his younger days


And the puppy as of 2 months ago:

Your pup looks a lot like my Daizie, and your older dog looks a lot like her daddy.

I loves me pit bulls.

Thanks for sharing. :hi:

Sweet dogs.....

And now you have the recipe for a house filled with craziness.

:)

from generation to generation.

the indoor cat and the 11 fish in the outdoor pond.

and is a dream with my 18 month old daughter. She climbs on him and he just takes it.

He looks like a Polar Dog. HEyHEY would love him.

She's a daisy, but still a handful at times.

They act like puppies almost all their life.

My pride and joy - there is not a moment when I don't thank god for the gift of their companionship and love.

They are the greatest.

Adopted every one of them - rescued them all.

Belong to the local Golden Retriever Rescue society here in Vegas.

Currently fostering one of them - our "Cookie" - she's our forever permanent foster - she will never leave us.

Sherman was gotten from our vet to be a companion to Tank who passed away a couple years ago - as did Chevy our earlier "permanent" foster - got him when he was over 13/14 years old.

Polo is our youngest - somebody threw him away when he was just nine months old because he wouldn't "hunt"! He's such a love.

Never had the joy of having a puppy - it's a conscious decision since so many get tired and throw them away once they are no longer puppies.

And they all get along great with our cat "Lucky".

The body of a lab with the short hair and coloring of a rot, spotted tongue and curved tail.

:sarcasm:

His name if Fluffy.

5 cats.

And here are my two rescue mini dachshunds:



Hagrid, about 12-13 years old. I've had him almost 2 years.



Sabrina, about 3 years old. I've had her for a little over 2 years.

They have a cat sister, Dora.

she used to keep him in the class room sometimes because she was too young to be home unattended (she was a new dog and they didn't want her to mess up their house) after awhile she let the animal science class take care of it. but even after that, daisy would sometimes join our class when it was over lunch.

Our daughter taught with someone who brought her dog to school. The kids loved him! Our dogs have always been too much for anything but a brief visit.

here with my cat, Renfield:

My cat is 8 months old now, but from the moment we got him, he bonded with our dog, not our other cat. I think he thinks he's a dog. He plays rough with our dog, attacks her, chews on her face. A real lesson to those who think pitbulls are bred vicious.

She lives with us, so I guess we technically have a dog.

He is more red than blonde. His name is Traveler, and he is a lover. He has never met anyone he doesn't love.

our little Italian Greyhound. The fastest friend you'll ever have.

The HS had raided a property and rescued over 50 dogs, and my sweet Luna is one of them. She is a beagle/terrier mix who was beaten and electrocuted before coming to the comforts of my home 12 years ago.

Rescue people get special pets.

I have three black and white cats, two big mutts...all rescues and they are the best. Wish I knew how to post pics...

Maybe a techie will advise.

Thanks for sharing.

She's about 7 months old, and her name is Molly.

She's almost four, and she's the second one we've had.

Previous owners of 2 Rottweillers and 2 Scottish Terriers. What joyous dogs they have all been...so many different personalities. The Pins have our hearts now...wonderful lap dogs and companions.

Have you been to any of the pug meets where they have thousands of them, many in costumes?

My husband runs a small automotive repair shop, and our beardie goes to work with him every day. He loves greeting the customers.

The only problem is that for grooming purposes, I am strictly a short haired dog person. Our first dog was an Old English Sheepdog--man, what a lot of hair!

with bearded collies. There are days when I say never another long-haired pooch, but our beardie's exuberant personality outweighs the grooming issues for me.

Cindy - a Catahoula Leopard (probably mixed).
Murphy - An Australian Cattle Dog (probably mixed).

They are almost three years old.

Had a rotty.

Was raised by Dobermans (which goes a long way to explaining things - and I'm not kidding, I really was.)

Khash.

Our first Cavalier, Gracie, died in July. So, we are diving in again and have a wonderful new friend named Koda. He is a black and tan Cavalier and just a neat little guy.

Here's my baby, a Great Pyrenees.

100 something pounds of Shetland-pony sized lapdog.

a great dog!

:loveya:

I could never have any other type of dog now. He's just the most mellow, sweet, good-natured boy.

But he is frolicsome when he wants to be, and he's a HELLUVA watchdog! Nobody gets near our house without him knowing about it.

fsc

little over a year old and a real sweetheart. i lost three dogs within the last year and half to to natural causes and one kitten ran over by a cat killer. i`m taking care of her till the owner can take her back..

We heard a lot of "danger" stories from people about white shepherds having nasty dispostions, but this dog is the sweetest thing in the world. Also very protective -- the only "mean streak" he has is when he perceives that one of us is being threatened. At 10 years old he's slowing down quite a bit, though.

a Pooh-bear slipper as I post...
American Bulldog, 96 lbs of rescue, has enamoured even the dog-scared folks in the neighborhood. This breed is the result of a long ago mix between english bulldogs and mastiffs. They look a bit like boxers on mega-steroids. All droopy faced and slack jawed. My big love. She smiles like this when she gets a belly rub.

like that, it's no surprise she's won over the dog-shy! She's very cute.

and those people down at the brewery who gave her the ugliest dog award can kiss my ass :-)

And he was such a little badass if you can believe it. I loved that little guy so much. Everyone said he was my sidekick because even when he lost his sight he would follow me everywhere.

sidekick. I can believe the badass part....

I was the only one that could wake him up without getting snapped at. That's what gave him the badass rep.

schnauzers and poodles. I love them. Also, I love German Shepherds and labs (short haired variety.) One day, I hope to get another dog, but not until I have a full sized house and a fenced in yard. Also, it would be important to me to be able to take the dog with me to the river to walk around and fish. I've never taken my animals to too many places like that for fear they will get hurt in some way. If I had a big dog, maybe I could take them and get to go myself. Normally, I won't go to the woods by myself for fear something bad will happen to me (caused by the two legged kind of animal known as human beings.) If it was the two of us, I'd be able to relax more. The dog could alert me and I could possibly get us out of any bad situation caused by people. I dream of being able to go do stuff with a dog with me actually. I can just picture it. My yellow lab riding with me to the river and then playing. Later, when we get home, she stands in the yard for me to rinse her feet before we go inside the house. I know I could train a dog for that. I just don't have the finances or the time right now to be able to do it right. One day though...

soon. You are right to wait till you can have a fenced-in yard!

She even plays with cattle.

And that is a big Angus bull.

dog! I have been around a couple of Malinois, but only in the city. Is their job mainly watching or by herding?

and search and rescue. They can be quite ferocious and are incredibly smart. They do no herding of which I am aware. Most police and military units will have Malinois instead of German Sheperds as is commonly thought although German Sheperds are a close second. In fact, in those horrbile Iraqi prison pictures of the prisoner being threatened by the dogs, one of them is a Malinois.

Our dog is a pussy cat. A breeder friend of ours asked us to take her when she was a just a year old. She just didn't like to show and was just a cuddle bunny. The owner felt badly for not being able to give her the attention that she wanted so since we had taken another Malinois who had had a spinal embolism she asked if we wanted a second. (Our previous Malinois had died of old age just about two years previous.) We jumped on the chance. I am not sure I will ever own a different dogs. I love these dogs!

Dan and Kate.

Best. Dogs. Ever.

but if I had a dog, it would be a Bernese Mountain Dog.

people I have known have been very loyal to that breed--also Swissie folks.

I'll never own another breed of dog. They are awesome.

Our current dog is almost four. Her name is Cassie. She's spoiled. I would post a picture, but I don't know how.

Pronounced "Asia." She is a 5 year old Rottie that I adopted from a Rottie rescue organization. She is sweet and loves the kitties too.

by every appearance, guarding the couch. I have always found Rotties to be great couch potato dogs.

I wish I could have a whole herd of them :)

Seems like it would be relatively easy to get hooked on those guys.

What a great little dog. I love her dearly.

Trixie is no longer with us. :cry: She was 15 when she passed over.

but I ate them all when my brother dropped by for a beer last night.

coming sooner or later. Hope you enjoyed them!

It's my husband's. I call it a shit-soo. I myself am a cat person.

A German Shepherd/Sharpei Mix


her puppies


and a Black Lab Mix

How old?

for 13 years ... he died in 2002. Now we have four cats.

This is Sundance. :loveya:

Two retired racing Greyhounds a Cocker/Sheltie and a little Border Terrier X.
BTW any dog lovers in the north Phoenix/Scottsdale, Carefree area that needs their furry kids cared for when out of town should PM me.

retired racers. They are always special.

I adopted one 5 weeks ago. On a scale from one to ten, he's a ten.

She's a Australian Cattle dog / mix.
Best dog I've ever owned.

MUAHAHAHAAHA!

I do have two cats an an African Grey Parrot, though.

We hope to adopt another shelter dog when my 7 year old gets a little better at picking his toys up. He'd like a small white dog, so I'm thinking maybe a Bichon mix, non-alpha. We'll see...

he'd have plenty of ants to eat around here! :D

black and white, with spots on his nose, and feet. His name is "spot" for short, his full name is "Spot Marks the X"...My dad named him after a dog from the disney movie "Spot Marks the X." Spot is rather tall for a pom, but thats what I got...

poms were sometimes spotted!

He actually has a few more spots, that we found when my wife shaved him down for this past summer...:) We got him from my mother for xmas last year. She breeds them on a very small scale. She had a choclate colored female pom that she bred "spot" with and the pups have been very colorful to say the least...:)

Rogue, the chaser, is a Keeshond mix of some sort. I've been told Chow, Border Collie, Husky, and several others.

Molly, the chasee, is a lab mix. The only thing about her that doesn't look like a lab are a few white spots and a slightly curly tail -- oh, and her fur is a little thicker than a pure lab.

but one of my sister's dogs:

Timmy, Pippin, Andrew and Robby, Tippy deceased. :::SNIFFLES!:::

It's the craziest, and friendliest pet I have had, and I have had some very weird pets.

interested in having an Irish wolfhound. Ended up sticking with the GSP's, though. They have great personalities--world's largest couch potatoes. The ridgebacks are great, too. Lots of people here have them.

The house I'm living in is occupyed with a Brown Communist Shar Pei named Bear. He's such a good dog. . .and a nusiance. . . loves treats and is very alert and noisy. He hates closed doors as he likes to have access to the entire house (With the exception of one room . . . the grandparent's bed room . . . not allowed in there due to cat).

a brown Sharpei buddy. Loves to chase the heck out of her, almost as though he's a herding dog. He's pretty cagey, too, as he knows how to exert the least amount of his own energy to get the most dash out of Daisy.
