Looks like that terrier's got someone's ear there.

There is no such thing as a bad dog, only some dogs like the taste of people.

My daughter received a Jack Russell Terrier as a gift. We have always owned dogs and she has helped to housebreak a few. This one is 10 months old and completely psycho. I bought her "Jack Russell Terriers for Dummies." some of the comments from a lover of the breed:

"Jack Russell Terriers like to taste furniture. It is not a puppy/teething issue- it is life long behavior."

"All Jack Russell Terriers have a Napoleon complex. They do not recognise that they are small dogs and will not back down from conflict with larger dogs. The stories of JRT's killed by a fight-they picked- with Rotti's are not unusual."

"JRT's have their own agenda when it comes to house breaking, some are never successfully trained."

This one actually pooped on my husband's pillow. My next door neighbor, Ma Baxter, has two Rotti's chained in her yard, I wonder...

Here he is!

Chows are dangerous to other dogs, more than people.

(I should note for any PETA lurkers who might be on here that I do not endorse celebrities wearing dogs as hats for personal gain.)

Ditto, by far.

Sadly mine got IMHA and died at 3 yrs. old.

We got a 'replacement' recently. Possibly a cockapoo. Looks more poo than cocka though.
It's a cute lovable dog but I'm always thinking, "She ain't Border Collie smart by a loooong shot"

Ours adored kids( except if on a bicycle), but was wary of some men. She was an excellent judge of character. The men she didn't like were the same ones I didn't either.
They are NOT house dogs.

Cute pups :-)

Bluebelle is a very dominant dog. She's about the bossiest dog I ever met - with other dogs. It's all bluff, though. She's really just a big baby!

[TASMANIANRED]

I think I met your dearly departed shep last night. I took my pups to the vet and a mountain man walked in with a dog that looked like a cross between a German Shep and a grizzly bear.

I was raised with Sheps and I have never seen one this size before. The dog had to weigh 150-160 lbs. It's head was huge. It looked like the "big bad wolf" of the fairly tales.

Some lady had a squirmy toddler in there. Kid stayed on her lap for a good part of the wait but the kid ringtailed till gmom put it down. The kid was parading in front of this critter. I thought "There's lunch"

[Dutchgirl]

You mean this one? Looks like a spaniel mutt.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Wodehouse fan, Jeeves?

"Indeed, sir." I love the "Jeeves and Wooster" TV series with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie just as much as the books. Wodehouse's work is a glimpse at some important elements of Western culture which have been almost forgotten in these times.

[RightWinger]

Border Collie. Smartest dog I ever had.

Yep, my old Border Collie would pee on command, very handy on rainy nights.
I loved that dog, she was 15 and I had to put her down a year ago, I still miss her.

Now we have a Norfolk Terrier mix, weighs 10 lbs.

[Triple Word Score]

Oooh, that's the second vote for "mutt." Somehow I doubt Mr. Bentley will sell Jake.

This looks like a dog that will spend the day cleaning the house, then meet you at the door with your slippers, robe, AND favorite drink, perfectly made. Dinner will be in the oven, the checkbook will be balanced, and he'll tell you he saved $70 this week alone by clipping coupons.

[TheGeezer]

My wife says any dog next to Dierk would look cute.

Besides, go to your local pound and pick one you fall in love with at first sight. I can guarantee you'll never be sorry.

[Mr Rogers]

We had a border collie for 12 years. She did fine in the house, although she herded anything that moved. Loved it when the kids played soccer - she tried to herd the ball. The one time we tried to have her bred, she refused - there were cows nearby, and she was more interested in working them.

If someone wants to own a border collie, they need to understand that intensity. Wonderful dogs...if the AKC doesn't ruin them!

[hotpotato]

Why does the CDC have a list like this anyway? Aren't they supposed to stick to Diseases?

rabies... and it's relation to dog bites

[hotpotato]

make that "its"

Most docile dog I've ever known is my sister's 5-pound Yorkshire Terrior. She has always been well treated but still adopts a posture of extreme passivity when someone reaches down to pick her up. In meeting dogs, she will not approach a large or medium-sized dog; for those near her size she occasionally summons the nerve for a nose-to-nose greeting, but she's liable to get spooked in the middle of it and leap into a 360-degree turn. She obviously knows she is small. But withal, she is an intelligent and affectionate little dog.

[Triple Word Score]

We have a mutt-dog now that won't accept other dogs. We've tried, but she can't settle the dominance issue. She's the kids' dog, and they all love each other completely. I like her okay, but she's got rocks for brains. I wanted a border collie.

She'll be around for awhile yet, of course, but I get to choose the next dog....

This is my thrown away dog's pup. This was taken a couple of days ago.

He really is a good dog.
