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
This. Had a chihuahua since the mid-2000's when my dumb preteen self really wanted one for dumb Paris Hilton -related reasons and somehow managed to get my mom on board with the idea. He was the sweetest little weirdo. We took training him seriously precisely because we didn't want an annoying tiny dog, but our Labrador was the real mvp: he let the chihuahua play-fight with him like a big brother letting his little brother almost win so he can feel tough 😂 Still miss that little dude.
