Any other dog lovers out there? What do you have?

I love dogs and have been lucky to have some very good ones. My screen name is the name and birthdate of my favorite dog. Right now we have a Basset hound and a French bulldog.

How about you?
 
Yep I love dogs, I have a 2 year old black and white Chihuahua 😀
 
I am a total dog person. I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier called TG. (Short for 'Top Gear')

My dad shows, trains and breeds Staffs and has done my whole life. It's the only breed of dog we've ever had, and the only breed I would consider owning. They are just so sweet and lovable and loyal. TG is just a little sweet heart, although she can be a bit crazy at times, lol.

Staffs are beautiful, but I'm not sure I've ever met one.
 
My dog is a mutt lol He's a cross between a sheep dog and a terrier. He goes by the name of Patch and he's 13. He is the sweetest dog and always has been since the day we got him. I think he is going slightly deaf though 🙁

They do all right deaf - we had a Boston terrier and a pug who went deaf. But when the BT ALSO went blind, her quality of life was gone.
4 dogs here (in my defense I married a dog trainer!) We have a malinois named echo, and three american bulldogs: Luci (full name LuciFur), Fred (2 Fast Freddie) and Whitey (Nahullo aka Whitey).

We have also had (not including the litter of pups we had last year, which us where we got Whitey) a rottie named Ofi Tushka who went to a family in KY, a german shepard named wolf (went to a police station in Canada I believe), a boerbul (Bo) who went to a cop in Chicago, and a french bulldog mix named troll who was the smallest and meanest effing dog of the lot. RIP you mean little grouchy dog.

Oh and that's all in the past three years *sigh*

We always have dogs my husband is training to place in and out. Luci and fred are ours forever though (maybe echo and whitey too, we'll see)
 
I had two dogs untill two months ago, but one had to be put down. 🙁
The one I still have should be a pure bred golden, but.... a differnet dog got to the mom first. So I have a Golden Yellow Lab mix, named Sunshine (My sister chose the name).

Sorry to hear about you lost a friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is.
I have a black lab/chow mix. *His name is Roland. *He was ferral for the first few months of his life. *We saved him and his brother (who was full lab). *Mom took Roland and gave his brother to my dad, we named him Sketch because he looked likd a *ery sketchy dog. *We had to give Sketch away when my dad got cancer. *I miss him a lot. *Roland has SERIOUS trust issues... So bad we has to put him on prozac. *He's off it now, but he still hides under the table when people who aren't the family come in... And for one family friend, he runs and hides under the bed because he really hates her. *Sketchy was the best. **

Other dogs I've had: *I had a female black lab named Siren who was INSANE. *We had to give her away because she was too wild.

I had a female somoyed named Nevada. *I LOVED that dog. *She was so fun! *She was stupid as hell, but so fun. *She was also gay. *She ran out one night because my mom's friend who was staying with us left the door open wheb he got home drunk onw night. *And no, he never apologized.

And I had a male golden retriever/somoyed mis named Ox. *Ox was a wedding present to my mom and dad. *I learned to walk holding onto him. *We had to put him down when he broke his hip when I was 12. *Mom didn't tell me she was going to do that, but when it happened, i felt it. *I turrned to my best friend and I said "Something bad just happened. *I can feel it." I was depressed for the rest of the day. *

I LOVE dogs! I volunteer in my town's humane society. I have a one year old aussidoodle puppy, who is my baby 😀

Humane Society Karma! :)
I've had dogs of one kind or another my entire life. In fact, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have one. My current dog is a black Boston Bull Terrier mix that we rescued from the pound a couple of years ago.

(And if anyone ever wants to get me REALLY cranked up, just let me get started on Pit Bulldogs and the bad rap they get from people who know nothing whatsoever about them except what has been sensationalized by people who wouldn't know a true Pit from an alley cat.

You would LOVE my husband then. He will talk your ear off about the misconceptions people have about pits and bulldogs. Just don't get him started on PETA or HSUS.

I am OBSESSED with dogs, though I currently just have the one. That's all the canine I have time for at the moment. Soemday when my kids are old and out of the house I want to start a dog walking/sitting business and start fostering for our local humane society.

I currently have a Border Collie/German Short-hair Pointer mix. She turned three this past February and is one of the smartest dogs I have ever met.

My pets all have their own web pages on Dogster.com and Catster.com. 🙂 I have never met a dog I haven't liked and I know people in my town by the names of their dogs.
 
I have two dogs. A Shitzu named Rudy, and a Shitzu / Chihuahua mix named Coco. They are my kids.

about my dogs....no they dont NEED colder weather but i can tell they def prefer it over the hot summer days that we get here. i like to keep them inside as much as i can in the summer and avoid all the panting.
I WISH I had a dog!!!!!! I actually don't have any animals right now....which is very sad!
🙁 I guess I just know what a huge responsibility they are! I'm a veterinary technician though, so I guess I get my animal fix at work. I can't wait for the day I can go to the SPCA and find the little love of my life!

P.S. Don't forget to spay and neuter to help stop pet overpopulation! 🙂 Yay dogs!

Yay for spay/neuter!!
Yeah, we have a big PITA Siberian Husky. She's red with blue eyes, very pretty, but not the smartest dog on the block LOL. Husky's are notoriously hard to train, I should know- it took us 2 tries to pass the beginniner's class in Obedience School! We've had her for 12 years now, and she was 1 when we got her, so she's getting up there. Her hearing is really, really bad, Huskies are prone to ear infections. She mostly lays around now, although if the door is open- watch out! She's out like a shot, and there's no way to catch her. We usually just wait for her to come back or a neighbor will be able to get her & call us. She's been pretty good with the kids. She snapped at our oldest once, mainly we think to just tell him not to come too close (he was 6 or 7 mos old & crawling at that time). We don't think she would have actually hurt him. She did get in big trouble for that, though. She's grown more tolerant of them over the years though, so that when our youngest was crawling & walking, she would let him lay on top of her & play with her fur and tail.

Sounds about right! Huskies are notorious escape artists!
I have two miniature huskies 🙂 they are my whole world!! Dakoda and Dallas are their names. Dont let the picture deceive you, they are really little...weighing in at 10-15 pounds each.

Nevada (my samoyed who ran away) wasn't spayed becaue she was a full bred and we were going to show her... until we realized she was never going to grow out of her puppy stupidity. haha she was IMPOSSIBLE to train. She ran away a few days before her scheduled operation... so unfortunately, she probably had puppies and they were probably strays. 🙁
