Feel like we could use a happy thread around here, anyway I am in a dorm so no dog currently :/
I grew up with a Fila Brasileiro/Great Dane cross, very good dog, a little very territorial, very family protective, kinda scary to non family members. It was weird though, her family was anyone she fully met before 9 months of age. That friend I had over once when she was little? Totally fine years later. Our neighbors when we moved? She wasn't a fan
I also had a Heeler, he was hell on wheels but very loving, loved hiking :) v good boy
I can't wait till I have space for a dog again :)
Tell me about dogs you have/had/grew up with/dog breeds you like
Much to my own annoyance I really like the bigger scarier looking dogs (Molossers). Hope I can find a breed without health issues, with a good temperament with strangers, and with the ability to hike good distances but rn after doing some research it looks like I'm SOL
My dog's a mix, pug and beagle. Both breeds have pretty freakish features and pugs especially have bad health issues. She's got the best of both though.
I've always liked border collies and other long hair, big dogs. I just know I'll never have the space or the active lifestyle to accomidate those types of big, energetic dogs.
