He does pretty much anything you could imagine, singing is his talent.

What a fantastic mix! I've heard so many great things about flat coated retrievers but never had the opportunity to meet one. They don't seem that common where I live/lived.

Here is the best dog in the whole world.

I don't have pictures, but my favorite is a toss up. I really like American Pit Bull Terriers , and something about chocolate labs I like. They are both very intelligent breeds of dogs.

He looks so sweet that I think I would have hugged him if I had met him.
I am sorry for your loss, I can imagine how much you miss him.

Here is the best dog in the whole world.

He/she looks both friendly and very smart.
Just to be sure: a Welsh or a Pembroke Corgi?

 

[jinjerJOSH22]

Border Collies, I had my 1st for 16 years he was a great, loyal dog whom I miss very much. I have another now named Haru, he... well he's fun to be around and he has his moments but I still love him to bits. He's around 3 now.

Super cute dogs! I want to mention out of kindness and not criticism to please be careful with dogs that like to climb up high on furniture, like in that second picture. I work at a vet clinic and we've seen at least five dogs just in the last month come in with serious spine injuries after they've fallen off of beds/furniture, both large and small dogs. One was even left partially paralyzed from his waist down. Just a kind word of caution! Your pets are gorgeous!

That’s Charlie my brother in laws dog. It’s a puppy and lives up there. Yes I can see a fall from up there being a problem. Though he jumps off it like he’s super dog . Thanks and will pass that on to them.

The issues usually come when a dog who's always jumped off without issue thinks they can keep doing it into old age when their bodies aren't up to the habit anymore. One day they jump off fine, the next they slip a disc when they land. Thanks!

What is everyone’s favorite dog breed? I currently have a husky, which is why I will probably never have a husky again. I love Lulu but that breed just sheds soooo much! My personal favorite dogs that I’ll probably own later in life are labs and hounds or some other short hair breeds. How about you?

I know you may not know but I know plenty of hounds that shed a lot like a lot. I currently own a purbred treeing walker coonhound if your hand is wet and you swipe it along her back your hand is now fur coat (JK) but you will still have a ton of fur on your hand and their are quite a few hounds that do shed like that some less and some even more. Also there are breeds that have long haired coats that don't shed much at all (few). I'm a nerd lol but its true.

Any way I also love Siberian Huskys, Catahoula Curs, Australian Shepherds, and Mutts.

Wonderful picture of a lovely dog!
Reminds me of a swim in the nearby sea some years ago in shallow water. There was this cocker spaniel effortlessly swimming with exceptional elegance and smooth moves. Fortunately I always use a snorkel, so I could actually see his movements in the water. It was as if he trotted (?) (op een drafje liep) on the land. One of the most beautiful things I have seen in a lifetime.

 

[Jack B Nimble]

Mine was a Pug named Dutchess I had her for 15 years. She stole my heart and I have not had another dog since, its been now over 10 years.

 

[Heiditron3000]

Belgian shepherds are my dogs. I have one—this is Nico! They’re supposed to be extremely high energy but Nico takes after me (ie: couch/bed potato). He’s the sweetest dog on earth and man is he smart.

Belgians are the BEST! I’ve never had a better dog than my two sheepdogs! I still miss them both.

 

[Megaladon]

Belgians are gorgeous! Though I don't think I'll ever have a Belgian mal, I could see myself with some of the other varieties of Belgian shepherds.

My boy just got to meet some buffalo and he really impressed me, only let out one small bark at them (and they weren't bothered at all) I expected his prey drive to kick in and want to chase them like he does with deer. They're at a place called Big Bone Lick State Historic Site in Kentucky.
He was definitely interested in them at first, but eventually didn't care and was more worried about my dad, his favorite person in the world. It was a great training opportunity!

The barn I used to board my horse at had a flat coated retriever and I always wanted one but never felt I'd be able to give the dog the right amount of space, I also always wanted a border collie but the same thing, plus the time they require I worried that my optimistic expectations of myself wouldn't last for the duration of the dog's life and that wouldn't be fair. So many border collies are put up for adoption for that exact reason and I looked really hard at myself and my life and realized the breed wasn't a proper fit for me.

Your dog was gorgeous!

 

[Cold&warm]

Browsed on YouTube yesterday. Watched some marvelous things:

Quite a number of border collies there....

 

[DIYbetta]

My favorites are pit bulls. I also like Dalmations
Penny and Lenerd
Lenerd: blue collar
Penny: red collar

 

[Irv]

I have a husky, and as you said, never again. She's a sweet heart and I love her to death but way too much maintenance. I also have a German shepherd and she's the most amazing dog ever, I would have gsd's for the rest of my life probably but the wife has forced me to swear off all dogs the shed in the future. So in about 8 years or so I'll be a doodle guy. Lol

I met in the street a beautiful dog breed I had never heard of before: "Weimarers" (if I have understood correctly).
The friendly owner told me these dogs were a costly regal breed from the kingdom of Weimar.
Did not surprise me too much, there was something very expensive about his best friend.
What intrigued me most was his statement that these dogs would hunt bears. His Weimarer was anything but small, but no giant either. Would these dogs chase only small German bears ??

Is anyone on the forum an owner and fan of Weimarers?
The individual I met gave me the impression of being very sharp and "intelligent".

Was it perhaps a Weimaraner? They are one of my fave breeds. They are very smart and are "clingy". They were used to hunt large game, like bears, in small groups and then trap the animal until their human could get to it. Mostly they would locate and chase them. They don't bear fight or anything like that.

 

[WTFish?]

FlokI saying hello again...American Bulldog

 

[Feohw]

My favourite is the white German shepherd. Stunning dog!

Weimaraner. Absolutely stunning dog!! And yes they were bred to hunt big game. Bears, deer, wolves. It was their sense of smell that was used to track prey, they weren't actually bred to kill the game. Just to track, spot and flush them out.

After posting I read the wikI entry. As a matter of fact, I mis-remembered and mis-spelled the name.
What do you mean by "clingy"?
The dog I met was very alert, and looked as if he wanted to take part in the (short) conversation I had with his owner.

 

[JessicaSwanlake]

Yeah, that sounds about right! They are one of the so-called velcro dogs. It means they basically like to be by their owner as much as possible and follow them everywhere. Often they can have separation anxiety and it's attributed to that tendency.

I guess the owner of a Weimaraner feels safe always and everywhere. (Sounds a bit like the title of a song by a fellow countrywomen of Feohw.)
Separation anxiety: are dogs like humans or is it the other way round?
I agree with Feohw: Weimaraners are a stunning dog breed, among many other things also because of their special color.

[Skrabbitskrabbit]

Easily a beagle but only if you have room to let him roam. Remy is 12 this month. Best family dog breed IMO.

 

[max h]

I have a Boarder Collie and he's been the best dog I had over the years.

 

[PascalKrypt]

So nice to see everyone's pictures!

Recently took my lady on a canoe trip! I could just hear celine dion in the background. Unfortunately I have no pictures of her standing on the bow with her front legs, whenever she did that I was too busy grabbing her harness so I wouldn't have to go for a swim to retrieve her

[FrostedFlakes]

My favorite is definitely the Black Russian Terrier. Dream dog right there.

 

[Mongo75]

I prefer canardlies, as in can 'ardly tell what they are, lol.

Me and my girl Penny...she thinks she's a lap dog

 

[Jenay]

My very favorite is the Great Dane. I only have one right now, so the house feels empty, but I'm on the lookout for the next one that will bless my life. I will also admit to having a Chihuahua, but I call him my cat so often, I generally forget that I have 2 dogs.

 

[Dch48]

I like a good Hebrew National with sauerkraut and yellow mustard--- ohh wait.

Nice to know what the "father-in-law involved-in-intense-grandparenting" looks like ...!
It appears that you create friendly and warm relationships with everyone.

Doggie looks very sweet...
As much as I love the Dutch countryside, I, too, would avoid at all costs to have to plunge into those murky waters, brrr!
