Guest Anonymous Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Oh gosh life is great right now! It was sooo hot today and my dogs were outside nearly sick from the heat and I ask my mom if I could let the dogs in downstairs in the laundry room while I was reading a magnizne or something and she said yes!!! Its really cold in the laundry room anyways because its downstairs, so my dogs got to sleep off the heat! I'm so happy that they get to come in more and more now! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroura Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 Yay for Beagle!!! Keep up the good work girl, I did and it worked for me!!! :D Yorkie, notice most of the breeds were medium to large breeds? It didn't specify what size poodle it meant, but I'm assuming it meant standard poodle. Large dogs are often better 'family' pet as they aren't so susseptible to feeling the pain of childrens touchy grabby hands!!! Oh, and Gizmo, don't worry, I'm sure you know deep in your heart that Pits would be right at the very second top of the list if it werent for those numbskull owners who tend to flock towards them!!! (second only to the Boxers... hehehe, and equal to Beagles!!!) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julie45 Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I have a breed of dog or a dog because i wont it not because its in the top 10 breeds. i think every one should think about what breed of dog they wont before they but it, not look at the top 10 breeds. sorry if this seems to have upset me, but i think all dogs should be loved and looked after no matter were they come in some list :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroura Posted July 26, 2002 Share Posted July 26, 2002 I don't think this is a matter of us looking at the top ten and getting that breed, we have all made our individual decisions and picked the breed we thought best suited to our lifestyle and that we connected with. It is quite obvious that we all love our dogs, not because they are the top ten but because they are our dogs and we love them!!! Of course we are proud that the breed we own is considered great by other people!!! Every one wants different things from their dog, and all dogs are suited to different people. This list is probably simply made up of an evaluation of what dogs are best suited to the 'typical' family, not a list of dogs that you should buy because they are considered perfect!!!

Guest Anonymous Posted July 27, 2002 Share Posted July 27, 2002 [quote name='Mei-Mei'] Sure, every dog should be cared for and loved. But imagine how helpful this list could be to a young family with small children? A Golden Retriever would probably fit into their lifestyle much better than perhaps an Afghan Hound. Then the dog and its people would be happier! :D[/quote] Yeah but a Bichon Frise? pushed as an 'easy to housebreak breed' in many references but in reality is extremely hard to housebreak (ask their breed rescue) Problem with these lists is people presume the dogs within a breed are all alike no matter where they come from - its sadly not true at all. Do you really think they mean the golden from the pet store will be as good a family pet as the golden from a top flight responsible breeder? Pet purchasers will think so from a list like this that does not even come close to listing what people really need to know about dog breeds and the differences among them.

Smooshie Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 EXACTLY Gizmo...you hit it on the head!!! EVERY dog owner SHOULD think their particular breed or breeds are #1....its part of what makes a person a good dog owner....dedication and loyalty to your four legged friend(s)...after all, thats what they give to YOU :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
