just to get white puppies
my head is spinning out of control after reading this thread. I am literally dizzy, thank God I am sitting down. Have you ever heard of spellcheck?
There are a handful of people that actually make sense on this thread, and it ISN'T the majority of the people that posted, excluding YLL. She has some very very valid points.
Guess what I am thinking?? :
-wait until you move out
-see what kind of job you get
-rescue one from the shelter, they appreciate being saved
-have fun researching all the other breeds, no harm with that
-keep in mind that A LOT of the breeds you are looking at are rare breeds and are gonna cost a pretty penny to have. Think about what YLL has said, why spend $350+ on a dog when you can get one for less than $50 at a shelter and you aren't putting money in private citizen's pockets.
I was wondering the exact same thing, shais_mom......and I agree with you.Quote:

tikeyas_mom, from all these pictures, it sounds to me like you are going from looks alone. I suggest you further research the temperment of these breeds and decide what is best for you. Maybe you should wait a while after you move out before getting another dog. Another dog is twice the food, twice the time, and twice the money.
And if you are moving out at such a young age, you'd most likely live in an apartment. It is *not* easy to find an apartment that even allows dogs, let alone 2 *big* dogs.
Hi
I would highly reccomend a Golden Retriever. I have one and she never cares about a thing. Even when my brother bounces on her like a trampoline, she doesn't even budge. They are supposed to be great with any kind of dog, especially if you have a younger dog. They are kind of hyper:D
why not get another husky, :) i would recommend a puppy i dont know if your other dog is a male or female but would recommend opp sex sometimes when you try to introduce to grown dogs of the same sex you have major trouble they may both be alpha dogs try going to the bookstore or library and get a book on different dog breeds and see which one would best fit you:) :) :)
I know you may think I am going for looks and I kind of am.. I want a dog that has pointed ears and is big.. (so if you count that as look then whatever :) ) Anyways I am not moving into an apartment I will mostlikely move into a basement sweet or duwplex :) With fenced back yard.. I need another dog when I move out because Tikeya (my Siberian Husky) Gets really lonely without another dog friend...
I will be getting a male (not because I am sexest) but because my dog Tikeya she doent get along with other females :) She likes her males though :) dont worrie she is spayed
this was years ago, i didnt know any better...Quote:

but it wouldnt have turned out bad anyways cuz my roomate already had reserved homes, plus he was gonna take one
we dont have very many apartment buildings around here....maybe 5 or 6 at the most, and there are waiting lists miles long, so i really doubt she would be able to get into one....ive never ever seen a young person in an apartment...only elderly ppl...my grandma and papa have lived in some of the apartment bulidings here, so ive seen alot from them...Quote:

You were in charge of the breeding?? What about your parents??:confused: :confused: That statement sounds like you were the one (thinking about) breeding.Quote:

Thanks Shais-mom!! So...there are people that understand my points...great!! :D :D :)Quote:

i wasnt in charge :confused: i was only 10 years old...
stitch didnt technically belong to me either, she was just my baby, still is...just lived with me...and now shes moving away :(
why not get a german shepard they are great dogs, and very beautiful and they have pointy ears.....
so do keeshounds, and another huskey
I know i was thinking about keeshond and sheperds and even another husky I cant deside AHH http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies...rolp_tere3.gif
I have read threw your thread and I think you are only going for looks and will not be happy with your Choice. Its hard to find a place that allows 2 big dogs. I don't think you are making a wise decision by going only on looks. You need to think about temperment and other things. I really think you need to think about this alot more then you are.
Ash
I know akitas temp and siberians temp and sheperds temp .. I dont get it ?? I think they have wonderful temperements :D ..
tikeyas_mom,
IF your truely interested in finding out about AKita's temperments how about taking a look at the AKita CLub of America homepage,
and Akita Network. There are many Akita's that are given up
at shelters, because the owner was in for a big surprise when
that cute little furry puppy's temperment changed around 18 months of age.
You should consider joining an Akita e-mail list.
A good one is the AKita-l and the AKita-Network e-mail lists.
Their are some top breeders/trainers on both e-mail lists
that will be happy to answer questions what
the pro's and con's are. You can also
check out the rescue sites on the ACA list to ask
questions.
Here is the web page for ACA and Akita Network.
Hope this helps you determine whether the Akita
temperment is the right dog for you.

a german shepherd may not be good idea for ur husky...didnt u say she isnt well with other females? that makes me think she likes to be the boss dog, and so unless u get a shepherd puppy who could learn to be submissive (which u may not find at a shelter) ur shepherd could have dominance problems with tikeya....shepherds r quite prone to them...
akita's are know to be animal aggressive at times. we see several akitas at the clinic and everyone has become aggressive and even some have gotten aggressive toward us. even at the shows some of the akitas are tough to handle all these dogs have be trained and socialized. the breed is a determined breed if you do decide on a akita make sure to ck out the breeders you are dealing with if you get one from a shelter try to find out why the owners turned in.
Noonooon nooooo.. Tikeya is aggresive towar females not males.. She rolls on her back when the male become aggresive.. :)
ok thats good...i think a male shepherd would be a great idea :) i love german shepherds
akitas are cool too though :p
My dog had no introduction to female dogs in our yard befor .. She only had male introduction as a pup ..
Lets see...what breed fits the following criteria:
great family dog and loves kids
instant home protection
playful and affectionate
lap dog that loves watching tv
very intelligent
loves attention
loves going for walks
beautiful appearance and majestic
good size (not too big nor small)
great personallity and disposition
the one and only...
DOBERMAN PINSCHER
dobys are lap dogs???
I think a german shepard is an excellent idea
great with kids
good guard dog
friendly
smart
what do you think?
:D
rizzy, extreme lap dogs
i think that if u want everything good on the list, that a mutt would be cool :D dont u wish u could get the perfect mix and that it has all the breeds of dog that only u want in it? i always think that would be cool...but no one really has a choice lol....but a mutt would still be neat :p
Here is my perfect breed ok ..
A pateint breed with low or no prey drive. Gets along with other dogs, and animals and is cute as heck lol .. Oh ya and not hyper,,... :p
i think you should get a mutt like wolfsoul said get a family dog mixed with a lap dog mixed with a guard dog.....
what do you think?:D
yes...i think a mix that would be a good family dog and guard dog is a shepherd lab mix :D although they usually dont have pointed ears...very pretty though...i saw a huge one on tv, it was black and white, and i saw this really cute one and petted her one day....she was a really light beige, almost white....i thought she was a lab husky cross, but the owner said lab shepherd....she was a sweetheart! :D but i seem to see alot of shepherd retriever crosses at our spca....never seen shepherd labs advertised :confused:
These are two Shepherd mixes currently up for adoption at the local humane society.
This is Cassie, she is a Shepherd and Husky mix:

This is Pickles, he is a Shepherd and Pit mix:

They are so cute! I have more pictures of mixes from the humane society if you want to see them, let me know, they are REALLY cute!! ;) ;) :D
Most of the dog breeds you have posted in this thread do not fit that discription at all. Akitas really do not fit especially the prey drive and getting along with other dogs. Obviously you haven't researched any of the breeds more then their appearance.Quote:

wolf_Q yes I have researched.. If you have a dog as a pup and rais it with other animals then it wont have a prey drive.. I will probibly just adopt a pup from a shelter :)
That is not true at all. The high prey drive is an instinct, not a learned behavior (most of the time). And some dogs you can socialize all you want, but they still will not get along with other dogs.
But I thought that dogs got along well with other no matter what? :pQuote:

Yes apparently every dog can live in a pack and be perfectly fine. :rolleyes:Quote:

if you get a youngue puppie thathas had lots of kitten and rabbit and hamster contact and was raised with them and always in contact with them ..They wont feel the need to kill them because they are part of there pack. I even talked to a trainer about it..
That doesn't mean diddly squat...every dog is different...every dog has a prey drive. My cat has been around my rats for three years, and he still stalks them. Every carnivorous animal has a prey drive...it's in their blood.
I can argue about that.. Cats are a totally different animal and they donot live in packs. If they are raised with rats who cares it wont mean a thing, but dogs on the other hand can be trianed to follow pack rules suck as pecking order and such *dogs are dependent and cats are independent*... You should know that...
If a dog is raised with kittens and is always with them, itll picture them as part of there pack, I think that you are saying that all breeds are what they are bred to be when they arnt. They all have their own personality. You can change a dog froms it bloodline. Such as a pitbull they are very misunderstood because they were Suposibly bred to fight other dogs?? That is bull cr*p. Pit bulls were bred to take down large animals such as buffalow ect. You can change any dog to be good you can make their blood line instinks almost or totally disapear if you do it right. .
I can't really understand what you've typed so far tikeyas_mom, but my suggestion to you is to go to a shelter almost every week and check out the animals they have there. One day one will pop up that will fit you, your current dog, and your family. They normally allow to bring your current animal in to see if they get along,which is what you should do. I don't think the description of the "perfect breed" you have said is available, anywhere. Nothing is perfect and nothing can become perfect. Try what i've auggested. I go to the shelter near me atleast 3 times a week, hoping to find the one thay my parents will fall in love with.
Really? Um.......the last I checked lions in Africa did. Big cats kill animals and have a prey drive, domestic cats kill animals and have a prey drive. Wolves kill animals and have a prey drive, domestic dogs kill animals and have a prey drive also. PERIOD.Quote:

Why...I did know that. I guess I was thinking too far out of the box,viewing the bigger perspective, looking at the animals ancestors and such. Next time I will think lower.Quote:
You should know that
:confused: :confused: :confused:Quote:

Not really. You can't CHANGE them...because we are two totally different species. We can just MANIPULATE them to fit us, our lifestyles, and our needs. (And don't even tell me that that is bull cr*p, because it was on the Ultimate Guide: Dogs on the Discovery Channel.)Quote:
You can change any dog to be good
That is a very good point Kfamr!! ;) :DQuote:
One day one will pop up that will fit you.
