There is no in between with them.
Either a certain kind of dog is extremely lovable or you can't stand them.
I can see certain kinds of dogs as being adorable, like golden retrievers, but mutts, yappy dogs with disagreeable personalities, or viscious dogs .... don't wanna go thea'! Can't say I can see what some of these owners see in them...they're not lovable to most people!
Anyways I like the fluffy furry types that are good around children and friendly with people, don't bark much and are extremely approachable. For some reason, they make me feel instantly relaxed and I feel at home with them when they're around.

We are thinking about getting a Boston Terrier. But, it would be a problem with our travelling.

What a wimp.Quote from: "Otis Campbell":laugh3:
Maybe life is much to easy here out on the West Coast.
Nice balmy weather, beautiful beaches, awesome fruit, things ta do.
No wonder everybody wants to move here and the land prices are so high.
I'm sure your wife would love it too. She wouldn't wanna move back an live witchya if in that Saskatchewan prairie grain elevator ya got her holed up in, eh?
But ya gotta point. Because life is too easy, it makes a person soft, lazy an' weak. Perhaps what I need is a summer on a Saskatchewan grain farm liftin' bails of hay. That must put bulk on a guy pretty quick.
Oh well...maybe in another life.

We had a beautiful oversize tri-color Shelty for 11 years , almost Border in size.... fluffy ... great kid guard dog and the best of all worlds in one package
She once was put to work by a shepard who asked if he could try her on his sheep ... on his command she took off like a rocket chasing them down ... snapping/ faking nips (teeth clicking audible) at their heels but never touching or nipping them like an experienced pro... semi-circled them with very fast dashes back and forth like as though she had been taught years ago and been doing it all her life ... cutting off stragglers and moving them back into the herd ... gradually moving the entire pack toward the farmer .... and brought all 4 sheep to him ... what instinct - never had a moment's training
This is very close to being our Tammy AKA Tam

I'm not a big dog person but I haven't come across any dog I've really disliked or who has disliked me. Breed matters not.

Labs and Goldens would be my favorite.Quote from: "kiebers"
They are great dogs. Bur they need room to run. Better I think for a person living in the country.

Go "Border" or any other collie. All collies instinctively are working machines with superb personalities ... very property protective ... and a generally are a lot smarter and entertaining than yet average dog .... I love big ones but the border and shetland are a good practical sizeQuote from: "Daisy May"

On a farm, border collies earn their keep and then some.

Originally they were a working breed. They were used as watch dogs on the merchant barges that traveled up and down the Rhine River.They are a very alert breed. But today they are known as a companion breed. They are used as therapy dogs as they are sensitive and people friendly. There was one used as a therapy dog at the 911 recovery sight.

My favourite dog is a cat. Much smarter than dogs, and half the work.Quote from: "Gay Boy Roberto"
Cats are pets for people who don't really want a pet. IMHO, they're in the same catagory as hamsters and parakeets. As for their intelligence.......
Well lets just say in terms of their reasoning skills and social intelligence they are inferior to dogs in every way. When it comes to reading human emotions, learning commands, and performing tasks dogs are second only to our primate cousins. They are one of the few domesticated animals that are actually smarter than their wild counterparts.
Of the top 25 smartest animals, the cat actually ranks below elephants, octopi, and fucking squirrels.
Small wonder why you find them agreeable companions.
Now back to the topic at hand.....

They resemble huskies a little bit.
