Cats are cool and all but this is a dog thread.[/B] Dogs. Man’s best friend. Whoever you are, whatever you look like, however your economy and lifestyle, they love you if you return the favor. These loyal companions are pets, friends, workers, soldiers, helpers, guide dogs and guards with a rich history* full of tragedy and heroics. Every day a human’s life is saved by a dog, be it from a fire, from drowning or more. Dogs such as Chum and Nip are well known and it is a history that keeps unfolding today. [SUB]*An interesting book on dogs history can be found [URL="http://www.amazon.com/The-Complete-Encyclopedia-Dog-Breeds/dp/1405443898"]here[/URL]. [/SUB] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75010084/Dogs/2.png[/IMG] [TABLE] [TR] [TD]Somewhere between 15 000 and 10 000 years ago wolves started hanging around primitive human villages. They were fed and semi-domesticated. It is here the lineage begins to break from Canis lupus, to Canis lupus familiaris. To translate directly from Latin, they turned “wolf” into “friendly wolf”. This is when the bond between man and dog starts, and many scientists claim that if it hadn’t been for the domestication of wolf into dog, humans wouldn’t have settled down and become herding people. Our timeline would’ve looked completely different, and we’d have remained a hunter species. Dogs are irreplaceable for herding. They protect the flock when humans can’t and help day in and day out, as good working companions. [TABLE="class: grid, width: 300"] [TR] [TD][Fun fact: herding dogs herding gene comes directly from wolfs. It is an instinct to track and guide animals, like they’d do in the wild, but bred not to attack.][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Dogs have a history of helping people in work or in need. They have, for instance, also been soldiers. War dogs were an invaluable asset to the war effort of WW1. More commonly were German shepherds (schäfer), airedales, rottweilers and giant schnauzers. They mostly worked as messenger dogs, laying out signal lines fast where a human would be killed. Now they work in Afghanistan and Iraq sniffing out IED’s. In WW1 more then a million dogs were killed in action. [TABLE="class: grid, width: 300"] [TR] [TD][Fun fact: a white bull terrier named Stubby was, in 1949, ranked as a sergeant in the British army after 18 loyal months of combat service where he not only saved his entire regiment from a mustard gas attack, but he located and comforted wounded and revealed a German spy.][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Dogs have been tied into nearly every aspect of human history, for better or for worse. They have suffered greatly as religious ritual objects, and they’ve lived pompous lives by the side of the royals. They have also been the subject of the silver screen. Undoubtedly one of the greatest and most well-known canine stars was Rin-Tin-Tin, a German shepherd dog. Found in a German dugout by an American Airfoce man, he was adopted and taken to the USA where he was trained as a police dog. To begin with Rin-Tin-Tin built up an impressive war record carrying out important dispatch, sentry and general duties for the Red Cross. In 1923 he appeared in the film [I]Where the North Begins[/I]. It was in this film, an immediate success, that served to put Warner Brothers back on its feet following near financial collapse. Yes, this dog did probably save Warner Brothers from bankruptcy. The popularity of Rin-Tin-Tin rivaled great names like Charlie Chaplin and the Gish Sisters, and in 1925 he was voted the most popular star in America. Rin-Tin-Tin appeared in over 40 films and by 1927 was said to be earning enough to run a car and have the luxury of eating two fresh steaks per day. Not bad for a canine actor. This remarkable dog was never able to enjoy retirement as he died in 1932 while on location, but he had certainly lived a remarkable life and was even the cause of his trainer’s divorce: his wife having felt that the dog had alienated her husband’s affections. No dog since has before or since achieved quite the notoriety of the original Rin-Tin-Tin. Another famous dog though, was the rough collie we know as Lassie. He was actually a male dog called Pal. His trainer used verbal commands to induce Lassie to show fear, exhaustion and resolution. Dogs are remarkably expressive and easy to read making Lassie an instant hit.[/TD] [TD][IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/VietnamCombatArtCAT02AugustineGAcunaScoutDog.jpg[/IMG] “Scout dog” – a German shepherd dog does scouting in the Vietnam war.[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75010084/Dogs/3.png[/IMG] [TABLE] [TR] [TD][IMG_THUMB]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e9/Big_and_little_dog_1.jpg[/IMG_THUMB] [SUP]This Chihuahua mix and a Great Dane show some of the tremendous variety of dog breeds – Wikipedia[/SUP][/TD] [TD]There are thousands of breeds and all sorts of mixes.

Breeds have developed a wide variety of uses and with the passage of time have grown larger and larger. These dogs are often bred for intelligence, strength and loyalty and are always sufficiently easy to train, with some exceptions. One such example is[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]The Siberian Husky[/I] Originating in North-East Asia, the Siberian Husky is a medium sized sled dog, quick and light on its feed, and capable of great endurance. Scientists still haven’t figured out how Siberian Huskies manage to change their metabolism so they can burn energy but reserve fat stores so they don’t get fatigued even if they race for hours and hours. They don’t bark much, but howl a lot. And loudly. Once, a group of Siberian huskies went through a blizzard with diphtheria serum that saved the entire town of Nome, Alaska in 1925. Their eyes are striking, coming in icy blue and sometimes mixed, and they are friendly, alert, outgoing and are agreeable companions, though better workers.

Originating from the Hospice of St Bernhard in the Swiss alps, they were developed to detect avalanches before they happen, or smell and dig up avalanche victims. This breed has saved many lives, though prepare for drool, because they [I]will[/I] drool everywhere. All the time.[/TD] [TD][img_thumb]http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_hY6BI9rIwjY/TFCu0uguj0I/AAAAAAAABKY/HuH9LOeJYdM/s1600/080501-st-bernard-02.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]The gundog group[/B] Although dogs have long been used in relation to hunting, it was with the invention of the sporting gun that gundogs came. It was now necessary to locate game before being scared off by the hunter and, when found and brought down by the gun, it had to be collected. All dogs within this group were therefore developed to help man with his gun. Although some of these breeds are really all-purpose dogs, others were bred for specific tasks within hunting. Pointers for pointing at finds they smelled, and retrievers for retrieving the catch[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Golden Retriever[/I] Perhaps the most popular breed in the world, this happy goer is enthusiastic over [I]everything[/I]. An obedient, loyal, friendly, silent, intelligent companion who’s easy to train. You see them in so many dog/soldier reuinion videons for a reason. Just don’t expect them to stop intruders, they aren’t guard dogs.

Referred to by some owners as “half fish, half dog” it has webbed feet and an oily coat that lets it slip through the water easily. It is an excellent swimmer, but also a favorite among many owners, as it is extremely loyal, very friendly and an adaptable, devoted companion with a strong will to please.

They were used to hunt, and unlike gundogs they hunted and took down the prey themselves.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Afghan Hound[/I] With an eastern expression, the weird-looking Afghan hound is popular at show dog. I’m just posting this one here because it’s got a very unique look that reminds me, really, of a hijab, amusingly. Other then the fact that it comes from mountain regions of Afghanistan I don’t know much about this dog. I know it was bred to give the impression of strength and speed. And it does have strength and speed, but if you ask me it doesn’t look like it. Overall an odd dog, they race each other in a sport many enjoy.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Elkhound[/I] This is quite a bad-ass. Developed in Norway, it can withstand freezing temperatures in the middle of the arctic winter, and track and take down giant, well-antlered elk. Fearless, bold and energetic with lots of stamina and agility. I like to call this “half a wolf”. [img_thumb]http://www.irishdogs.ie/images/gallery/64/1140_album.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]The pastoral group[/B] This group became official in 1999. They worked on pastoral land and did tasks such as herding. It has everything from Corgis to Pulis and many other breeds worth highlighting, but to keep it tidy I’ll only mention my three favorites.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Rough/Smooth Collie[/I] This is the Lassie dog, with good reason. Standing handsomely, it was developed in Scotland as an all-purpose herding dog and is highly intelligent. If you own it as a pet it will try to herd people. It’ll herd anything. Hell, if you get three rough collies you’ll essentially get the same result as if you hire two private detectives to follow each other. They exist in rough and smooth – essentially thick-furred or thin-furred. The thick ones were bred to have fur like that so they could withstand wolf-bites, especially around the neck-area. They are of friendly disposition and impassive dignity. The rough collies look oddly Scottish. [img_thumb]http://www.pedigreedpups.com/images/Rough_Collie.jpg[/img_thumb][img_thumb]http://www.pedigreedpups.com/images/Smooth-Collie.jpg[/img_thumb] [SUP]Rough collie (left) / smooth collie (right)[/SUP][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Border Collie[/I] Perhaps the most intelligent breed, these will outsmart you whatever you do. Even so, with their smarts they are excellent sheepdogs and need work to be happy. And boy will they work; many-a-farmer’s favorite dog. [img_thumb]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images16/BorderCollieWynne7Years3.JPG[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]German Shepherd[/I] Now a particularly well-known breed with staunch enthusiasts throughout the world, the German shepherd or Schäfer, or if you’re a la-de-da brit an Alsatian was originally a herding dog. Now, thanks to its incredible sense of smell and strong bite it has proven itself to be both a great war dog and police dog, sniffing out IEDs, drugs or criminals. It’s also a great family pet, but train it well, unless you want to loose your arm. [img_thumb]http://jaipals.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/german-shepherd-dogs.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]The terrier group[/B] Okay, these are weeeeird. Bull terriers, Bedlington terriers, Airedale terriers – they look like extraterrestrials.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Bull Terrier[/I] Known as the gladiator of the canines, the Bull is full of fire and courage. It’s oddly aero-dynamic looking and would probably make an excellent motorcycle if you were to attatch two wheels. [img_thumb]http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/images5/BullTerrierZola.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]The toy group[/B] These are dogs bred to be ridiculously small. I don’t like most of these.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][B]The utility group [/B]This is for the dogs that don't really fit into any other category. They're working-ish companion-ish dogs.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Akita[/I] Very popular in Japan, with good reason. It was developed to hunt bears and is a large, powerful and alert breed with a heavy bone structure. They have a tendency to show dominance over other dogs, but are brilliantly intelligent and remarkably loyal. The dog [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachikō"]Hachiko[/URL] is one such example of loyalty, and there have been made a couple of movies about that dog, amongst others an [URL="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1028532/"]8.1-IMDB rated movie[/URL] which is an American adaptation of the incident. It’s good, I recommend it. Only movie I have cried to since 2001. [img_thumb]http://www.trainpetdog.com/images2/AKITA.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [TR] [TD][I]Poodle[/I] A loyal breed, it’s got a pompous-looking coat and a wrinkly face. Standing either tall or short depending on which size variation of the breed you get, this dog is very popular. Developed in Germany (not France, which many people believe) it was originally a gundog. It was also used to pull milk carts, while in France later on they were mainly companion dogs. [img_thumb]http://www.dogfamily.org/images/poodle-2.jpg[/img_thumb][/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/75010084/Dogs/5.png[/IMG] So you’re thinking about getting a dog, eh? Good choice. However there are many things to consider before you get a dog. We live in a time were a large majority of all dogs are put down. This is most of the time thanks to the massive pet overpopulation problem caused by breeders, who only care about the money. If you get a dog, don’t get it from a pet shop. Ever. Preferably don’t get it from a breeder either, but adopt one from a shelter. They can be just as good as any other dog, though more commonly mixed breed, mixes can be just as nice. Just make sure you know as much about the [individual] dog – feeding habits, vaccinations, health problems, temperament, coat care, exercise requirements, personality nichés e.t.c. as possible before you get it. [B]The most important thing to consider[/B] is that you are willing to put down the time and energy required to own a dog. An hour, two or more per day of care, feeding, walking, walking or training if the dog’s a puppy. If you don’t, your dog will probably misbehave, and that is the second most common reason why dogs end up in shelters. If you don’t have the time, don’t get a dog. If you’re out 8 hours a day and no one’s home, that’ll mess up the dog’s psyche. It’ll get separation anxiety and might become aggressive. Separation anxiety is the #1 cause of dog bites. It’s important to get some understanding of dog psychology before getting a dog. You must never forget that dogs are pack animals. They think differently. They’ll protect their pack, but they’ll also try to become alpha of the pack. This is a natural survival instinct that comes from wolves. Like a president leading his country, it is best for the strongest dog to lead a pack. And they find the strongest by testing each other’s limits. However a human should never let their dog become alpha, as that’ll cause misbehavior. More can be read about this [URL="http://dogbreedinfo.com/articles/linksbehavior.htm"]here[/URL] and [URL="http://dogbreedinfo.com/articles/alphadogbootcamp.htm"]here[/URL].** Make sure that you have the space for a dog, and that you’re willing to put down the large expenses that come with owning a dog – equipment costs, food costs, vet costs and more. Be responsible. Use common sense.

We own a pug in my house right now. I really want to own either a new Golden Retriever or a Samoyed when I move out. My old Golden Retriever Molly was killed by a car last year. She was the nicest and cutest dog I'd ever met. She was always willing to be your best friend. She died the night before she was supposed to come home to me :(. Either way, I'd recommend Golden Retrievers if you have more people that will be around the dog. They are great with families and are very loving.

Been through the whole phase before and it's horrible. I was generally sad for 2 weeks or so were you just couldn't get your day to start properly. Probably going through it again soon. I have a Golden Retriever called Charlie who's 10 years old, turning 11 soon. He has some sharp pain in his right foreleg whenever he walks for more than 15 minutes and he already has arithitis (and gets the strongest medicine for it). It's either the sad way if the x ray comes out, you know, badly, or it could go the good way with it just being arithitis in his joint. Happened on the joint that he was once bitten in by a rotweiler, he nearly died that day. Seems like the rotweiler may get rid of my dog due to the bite anyways, 7 years after it happened. Been recording Charlie with my camera on vacation because without any of us saying, we all realize that this is possibly Charlie's last vacation.

For the record, you could have gotten a better poodle picture. They look ridiculous like that.

Fuck dogs are awesome. They are either always excited and playful, or nice and chill. I've yet to see a dog act like an arrogant prick. I've owned 3 dogs in my lifetime, but unfortunately, they have all since passed away. My first dog was named Teddy, who was a deaf golden retriever. My next dog was Tessie, another golden retriever that just recently died. My last dog was Serjio, a boxer that was the runt of the litter (Oddly, he passed away before Tessie despite being younger). Seriously dogs are pretty sweet.

I did have a bit of a moment last night though... saw her collar on the table and I just broke down. I realized how good of a dog she was, all the goofy things she would do, and all the memories I shared. On a lighter note, that dog was like the goddamn Six Million Dollar Dog - she survived two attacks from other dogs (a rottweiler and a German shepherd), she's gotten stuck by porcupines, skunked dozens of times, etc. She had a helluva life, that I know.

This is my kind of thread; I love dogs more than anything. I have three of them living with me. This one is Armani. He was originally my brothers dog, but he couldn't handle it and his gf at the time hated him, so we took him in. [t]http://i47.tinypic.com/33uy7g4.jpg[/t] This one is Joy and she's definitely my mother's dog. This is her at the vet after we had found out she'd been badly poisoned.. we will never know how. The vet told us she wasn't doing well and if she didn't eat food we would bring her, they'd put her down. We brought her barbeque chips and a plain hamburger from McDonald's and she ate it right up. I've never seen my mom so happy. [t]http://i47.tinypic.com/2ivd1qe.jpg[/t] and this one is my Brandy <3 She was abused as a two week old puppy across the street from the convenient store that my mom worked at the time. She had ran into the store, so my mom called my dad and told her to come get her; she bit my dad on the whole ride to her new home. She was really mean at first but after she knew we weren't going to hurt her, she became the sweetest dog ever. She's getting old and has a white beard as you can see, but she'll probably outlive us all. She's really adorable when she sees me when I first wake up or come back home from wherever, she gets really excited and I tell her to give me kisses and she ends up biting my nose in her excitement. She's just the best. [t]http://i50.tinypic.com/11rxdae.jpg[/t] A video I saw earlier and thought it was funny [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtLPhDgMSlk[/media] yay doggies
