They are like 130lb lap dogs. Another thing is breed restrictions. I currently live in an apartment and restricting certain breeds to me is like saying that no hispanic kids are allowed to live in here. It is discrimination. Take Labs for instance.

Those damn ankle biters are all alike, at least in this complex. They yap at my dogs and my Husky will just look at them and then turn his head away. My puppy will bark back and its funny because she is so small and barks like a BIG GIRL. Heres her "I didn't do it" pic after ripping the comforter apart as well as the trash.


pretty pup..I am trying to see about posting a pic of my dog, but I dont have them on the net to post..
lol..I came home to a similar incident only mine was the whole friggin couch..he just looked at me like "is something wrong?" I was so hot, but I couldn't do anything because I didnt catch him doing it.. but now he stays in the crate while I am away, and gets frequent trips to my parents to run and tear stuff up on the 3 acres

A number of years ago one of my friends got a rottweiler (adult dog, adopted). When she told me she got the dog my first reaction was "Oh no . . . those dogs are mean."
I was very apprehensive about going over there the first time after she got her (female rott named "Gwen"). I was sitting on the couch and Gwen comes in, hops up on the couch and plops half her body in my lap (was wasn't exactly comfortable for me as she's one big dog) and pretty much fell asleep. This dog and I connected immediately. She has the greatest disposition of any dog I have ever seen and I just love her to death. I am sure there must be rotts out there that are mean, but I am sure that's true of every breed. Gwen is just so casual and cool.
Now RAT-DOGS on the other hand . . . those little $h*ts . . . .I have NEVER once seen a rat-dog that wasn't high strung and always barking and trying to bite something or someone. Those are the dogs you gotta watch out for!

Any dog with a black tongue is iffy. I've never had any trouble with my pits or boxers; but, I've had 2 chows that were very loving, when it came to the immediate family. However, they were very untrusting of strangers and would bite at the drop of a hat. My favorite pet as a kid was a chow/elkhound mix that was solid black. Except for his teeth. My friends hated him.
