 getting a dog 
#554238 - 05/09/11 11:11 AM (13 years, 6 months ago) |

I'm going to get a dog soon and I can't decide what breed to get. here's what I'm thinking in order of preference.
1 - beauceron
2 - boxer
3 - german short-haired pointer
I really would like a beauceron but I'm concerned about the daily exercise requirements. I enjoy taking walks and hiking but I'm not sure if that'd be enough for such a serious, domineering breed. also its hard as hell to find a breeder
boxer would be cool but I'm not crazy about the head structure. also I don't really want a dog that everyone has.
german short-haired pointers are cool too but they're a little small and I definitely want something that'd be ready to kick some ass if shit went down and I'm not sure whether the GSP would fit that ticket.
what I'm looking for in a dog is:
-large size
-above average intelligence
-protective nature
-short hair, little to no grooming
any suggestions from people who know dogs would be cool

I love red noses! I have a lot of experience with pits, they're an awesome breed
however I'm concerned with people being scared to come over or let me rent from them knowing that I have a pit bull. they caught such a bad rap, it fucking pisses me off.
there's so many places that they're outright illegal to own. I'd hate to be restricted in where I can live because of the dog I have, especially now that I'm graduating and plan on moving around a lot
have you every owned one and tried to rent or moved around a lot with one?

Eh, I was just throwing out a couple of possibilities based solely on ability to kill/maim things.
I'm sure you could always check out the local pound to see what sorts of interesting mutts have shown up there. One of my friends has rescued all 3 of his dogs, and while they're all very different (two interesting mutts and a great dane), they're great dogs nonetheless.

I was actually just looking at a GSP/lab mix thats at a local rescue. they only want $200 for him. he's almost a year old now I feel like thats kinda old, I mean I know that's still a young dog but don't you ideally want to get a pup?
never owned my own dog before so I guess I don't know. I've done a lot of fostering and helped my good friend with breeding/raising his 5 pits. from that limited experience I figured it's best to get them straight from a breeder as puppies so that you have full control of their training. did your friend (or really anyone who has rescued before) run into any problems with adopted/rescued dogs?

Pits are very pleasant dogs asshole. And if you want dangerous Irish Wolf Hounds were known to be able to fend of lions. (note I didn't say beat) Something I would love to see a pit try.

No, the owners are a menace. There is nothing inherently wrong with pits. Most are bought by scumbags and they in turn raise them like shit. A proper pit is no more harmful than any other breed of dog.

The rescue dogs my friend has rarely cause them major grief, if at all. Occasionally the Dane will kinda-pseudo chomp at peoples' hands, but a swift smack and some stern talking to by the owners tends to send the message that eating guests is frowned upon.
But that kind of behavior has been rare anyways, so I'd say they're pretty well behaved for the most part. And 1 year old is still fairly puppy-status IMO. And at that age you'll hopefully have avoided the teething/chewing everything phase, although you might have to do some simple housebreaking.
And I'll put my money on training not really being too much of an issue with a rescue. From what I've seen they tend to be extremely loyal pets, so unless the dog is an asshole by nature I'd think you'd be able to mold a suitable pet out of them.

Dog attacks happen with all sorts of animals. Just read the comments.
"Tam1969, I feel what you are saying, I was mauled and bitten by a Dalmation when I was 10 years old and still have the scars to prove it. Pitbull are not the only dogs that attack. "
"My arm was nearly severed between the wrist and elbow by a Black Lab. When I called the local press, they were not interested in reporting it because it was a Black Lab. If it had been a pit bull, they would have reported it. The press only report when pit bulls attack because it makes great headlines, but they ignore other breeds. There has never been a single fatal attack by a neutered/spayed pitbull kept as a family pet in this country. See http://nationalcanineresearchcouncil.com/ for all info on dog bites, etc"
Quit spewing your shit.
Or let's just ban all dogs unless they are declawed and detoothed!

I have a red nose pit and a lab. I love them both for different reasons and they're both good dogs for different reasons. Whoever said pits are menaces and all that is just a fuckin idiot. One of the most affectionate and loving dogs I've ever been around. I love my lab though, that's my nig.

As much as I would love to see a shelter animal find a home. Ibwould steer clear since it is going to be your first dog. Shelter dogs can have some major issues. Some have been abused and are impossible to train. I had gotten a shelter mix. Smallish dog. She was good natured, but could not raise my voice with out her going into a panic attack and pudding all over herself. If you have the patients and can deal with these issues then it would be the way to go. Seems after they get a year old it is hard to train them with out sending them to a trainer. There is good dogs at the shelters though if you look round and find the right dog for you.
I used to have the same feeling about pit bulls as Nothingis when it came to them. But since moving into this house, I got real comfortable with pits. My nieghbor has 2 red nosed pits. And the one is an absolute big baby! I call her miss cuddles. She loves my kids and us and has been fun with her around. Pits get a bad rap becausee they can be fighters! But this IMO is due to owners promoting the action. Not the dog. If a dog is taught from the beginning that attacking people or other animals is a bad thing then more than likely they will not ever attack for just the fun of it. Depends greatly on the owner.
I find it funny that everyone wants these giant intimidating dogs. Along with being big bodied, they have big turds! Meaning big piles that need to be dealt with. They have huge appetites, so food is going to be a major part. Most the big dog breeds stink and are oily skinned. Just to name a few things. Oh and it is hard to cuddle with your puppy when its almost as big as you.
We just got this little one. She is pure chihuahua and a sweetheart. Funny lil thing with tootsie roll turds. And only eats a can of food every couple days.  and this is the pit bull I spoke of.

Gonna have to agree with this. My uncle had a rottweiler for many years and she was so sweet. ...even helped rid the yard of rats. RIP to both of them.
I also got attacked by a friend's pitbull two years ago (still have the teeth scars) but i still think the breed is awesome, if trained correctly.

I want a big dog because I want a dog that will protect me, my home, my woman, and eventually my family. Dealing with turds is a responsibility that comes with owning any pet, the way I see it shit is shit is shit. I've also found through fostering that small dogs are generally more difficult to housebreak and train.
My dog isn't going to be for cuddling, it won't be allowed on my bed or any furniture at all - it's a dog and needs to remember who's alpha male up in this bitch.
As far as the negative stigma towards the many breeds that people tend to lump into the category of pitbull, (or really just any of your dogs that are labeled as 'dangerous',) it's all bullshit spewing from cowards who don't know a fucking thing about dogs. A dog with an owner will behave as that owner raises him to. Dogs don't just 'snap' for no reason and start slaughtering people. They're just raised in a way that makes them fearful, which can cause attacks when they feel threatened - or worse - raised to be aggressive. Fearfulness usually arises from being deprived of early social stimulation whether it be strangers, new dogs, strange situations and noises. Unfortunately these traits can be deliberately ingrained into them by sadistic fuckers as well.
Don't punish the breed, punish the crime that is animal abuse.

Yeah I've owned quite a few rotts in my life, would get another if I were to get another dog. They're great dogs, extremely lovable and loyal. They have been all females, so perhaps that might have an effect on their temperament, but stereotyping the breed as scummy is just plain ignorant.
Also as I kid I was bitten by a dog, but guess what. It wasn't a rott or a pitt. It was a chow chow, which have a reputation for being snippy.

I was going to say doberman, but if you don't like the look of them we used to have a Rot/Doberman cross that was as smart and affectionate as a Doberman but had the size and energy levels of a Rot.
Used to sit around in the shade for the most of the day just liked to patrol our yard (we had 5achers) every hour or two, best dog every because when I wanted to play he was up for it, but when I felt like being lazy and watching TV he would come sit next to me and chill out

Yes, because any time anyone has a differing opinion they must be a troll. I have been surprised to learn rottens aren't as hated as shit bulls. They should be.

That doesn't make any difference to me when I'm walking my dog and I'm approached by one. I don't give a shit why. I care about what it wants to do and what it is capable of doing and those dogs are capable of doing major damage. One reason I want the breeds exterminated is just to punish their shitbag owners but the main reason is because they're almost exclusively inbred by idiots now and menace our cities.

I had 3 rotties over my life, and only 1 of them was agressive, and its because she was taken too early and given to a family that didn't know what the fuck they were doing with her.
The first one was the sweetest dog I've EVER had (seriously) and the 3rd is just goofy. He was real big and didn't know just how big he was. I honestly think he might have been a bit retarded, but he was very lovey.
I'd suggest a German Sheppard. I know they have longish hair, but they're wonderful dogs and if you're looking to get a pure bred one, they're beautiful.

I personally like the boxer bread. A family just up the way has a few pits. They are very beautiful dogs. They are very protective/curious to everyone new.
Also for a smaller dog french bulldog. Im a big fan of he bulldog bread though not many are.

I have a half pit half lab, hes the biggest baby in the world around people, but since he hasnt been around other dogs to often he is very aggressive towards them, I don't understand it, Ive never trained him to attack dogs, and he respects the cats we have in the house, but when it comes to other dogs he launches towards them...
Im taking him to dog training school soon to hopefully get him used to other dogs, and so I can hopefully find some pussy

you really should have him put down before he hurts or kills someone's dog - i'm not saying that to be a dick but it's just not fair to people with normal dogs unless you're 100% sure you can keep him restrained at all times
please be sure to keep him leashed tight whenever you're out

I wish I had an extra 5k so I could get an F1 Savannah cat and take it on walks around the neighborhood.

Im taking him to dog training school soon to hopefully get him used to other dogs, and so I can hopefully find some pussy
Did you let your puppy socialize with other dogs while you raised him?

My dog is aggressive with others too. Its not that she would ever hurt them, she just wants to play play play play play! The rest of my family has tiny dogs that are terrified of her just because shes big. I have a video of her playing with a lab puppy and loving it.
Actually, she was a bit scared of the lab haha.
She flips shit when people are coming, stands her hair up, barks like nuts, etc. But thats a dogs job imo. Once I give her the OK and make her sit and she smells people, shes fine with 'em. She just doesn't like unknown people wandering in my yard. And neither do I.
--------------------
Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

I don't think anyone is arguing against that. Rather we are arguing the responsibility of the owner.
There's plenty of breeds capable of doing damage, pits and rotts however are more commonly bread for this purpose. The fact that there are plenty of people who own these breeds, and can control them can attest to the owners responsibility in shaping the dogs temperament. Coming from a position of not owning one of these breeds you have no ground to stand on for argument.

I suppose the death of pitbulls and rotts would prevent people from training dogs for fighting, and defensive purposes.

This is what I'm talking about when I said that the Growery has gone downhill  Stupid, fucking retarded comments like this
I have a pitbull (English Bull Terrier) that I let freely roam my neighborhood, he is constantly in the neighbors yard playing with kids that are 6-9 years old, he has NEVER attacked ANYTHING because he's been well trained.
Why the fuck is anyone blaming an animal? Doesn't anyone know that animals are 100% innocent because they aren't intelligent enough to know what is really going on?
Animals act on instinct and training THAT'S IT.
I'm so fucking tired of stupid pieces of shit who probably have never owned a pitbull talking trash about them because they are scared shitless of dogs. My advice is to grow a pair so that you don't have to worry about pissing and shitting all over yourself the next time you walk by a pit

Like KingKoopa said it's probably just because he hasn't been socialized enough. Finding a training/play class could really help with that. When my pit was a puppy he was never violently aggresive with other dogs but he would always get so excited that he'd go crazy running in circles and jumping up into the other dogs faces lol

Ever wonder why this planet is so brimming with life? It is because 1, we have water. 2, we are close enough to the sun to maintain life, yet not close enough to be burned to death.

Ok, op asked for help picking a breed for a pet!
Enough on the personal phobias. We are all aware of the possible dangers behind big breed in general. Pits can be a bit aggressive but so can a small chihuahua! As matter of fact I have seen some out right vicious small breeds too.
If any of you want to continue your debates on pitbulls, do it elswhere! This thread has been pretty much detailed over this debate.

Truth, although it was an interesting tangent for awhile.
I'm starting to look more towards a Boxer, Beaucerons are incredibly difficult to find a breeder for and also pretty damned expensive - although price isn't a big factor for me on selection of dog.
There's a nice 10 week old dark brindle Boxer/Lab at a nearby shelter I'm going to take a look at. Female though, anyone have any preference for gender in dogs and reason for that preference?

Sounds pretty good, brindle is my favorite, looks like tiger stripes. As for gender I think it's up to personal preference.
Female dogs do bleed when in heat but I think it stops after they get spayed <<< remember to do that early, it can be more traumatic later on

be a decent human being and get a dog from a shelter or rescue program for fucks sake. you guys claim to love dogs so much, actions speak louder than words.
if you simply have to have whatever stupid breed it is you want, at least donate to a no-kill animal shelter, to offset the dogs you are killing.

why do they do that? because those fucking dogs are goddamn menace
that's why
I'm sorry but not all are like that, I've gotta say most that are like that is because of their owner/trainer... I had a pit in my house growing up and it was the most lovable dog you could have, she never bit anybody even if you tortured her,,, you had to be more scared of the crazy cat than the dog.
