Indeed. But threaten a member of her human family and she’ll rip your neck open.

As it should be.

Magnificent beasts. Yet another gift from God.

Oh!Oh!Oh! What a beautiful,kissable,perfect little man!! Irresistable. I get all goofy over fluffy babies like this -and two-legged babies too!

I’d complain that maltepoo’s aren’t on the list, but my Mr.Bingles isn’t a dog-so he’d be insulted to be included. Dogs-for him- are something to play with, not something that he is. :->

I always hope my favorite breeds are NOT on the list. Once people want them, the unscrupulous breeders wreck them.

They’re obstinate and independent and a little bit hard to train,“ Mr Konsalek, who keeps 15 as pets, said. “It often happens that the little fellows boss a whole family around.

Why did he bother...a waste of breath for those of us lucky enough to have been owned by a dachshund! I've been owned by two.

I just lost the sweetest, most gentle, easiest to work with Yellow Lab - He, Rusty, was just 5 months old. He was going to be a great dog. I am absolutely crushed!!

Spectacular.

If I’m a bad guy, I think I’d rather hear a shotgun being racked, than come face-to-face with that streamlined, taut bundle of muscle, speed, reflexes, sinew, teeth and power.

The little fella with one eye is actually a min pin.

The big one is a red heeler / pit bull mix and he is indeed the smartest dog I have ever owned. It is funny to watch the coon hound and heeler play fight with the Pomeranian biting them on the legs and egging them on.

The coon hound just happens to be the dumbest dog ever but is so sweet. They were all barking like crazy one day when Allegra was here so I yelled at them and the coon hound jumped out of an open window. A window that was almost always closed so I have no idea why he thought of it.

I am owned by one of the top 10- a Shepherd. Both of us are owned by my other dog-a Chessie.

Akitas ARE #1! It’s just that the others won’t admit it.

For outside I like Black Labs. For inside the house and running around on errands etc Ratty’s are my favorite. We have a full size Ratty and a Toy Ratty. Toy Ratty is part Manchester or Chihuahua so she has an attitude but both are clowns. LOL I call them my Two Terrier Home Security System.
