If you own any other breeds, I'm sorry but your dog stinks.

My wife and I just got a french bulldog. Can you give me your analysis of the breed

We have the world's smallest frenchie as at 14 weeks she was just 4 pounds (normal is 11) and I've had several complete strangers say I need to start a youtube channel/instagram account for her.

But i'm interested in your expert take on the breed.

My Frenchie will rival yours. She was the same size then. Now at 2 years, she is only 21lbs.

Frenchies are great dogs. Smart, playful, good with kids and other dogs. But as far as this thread goes, they would only need to exist to be cute.

OMG a greyhound? Are you kidding me? Well, maybe not bad for a runner so for once he is not the SCRAWNIEST in the room.

Anyway, my top 3:

1. Pit Bull (pound for pound, the strongest dog, superb sprinting speed too)

2. American Bulldog (friendly but incredibly muscular. Probably the most BUFF dog

3. Rottweiler (offer awesome protection)

Big +1 for Scooby.

Pit Bull? The perfect accessory for wanna be tough guys. They're not fast either.

Yes they are. Google "pitbull catches rabbit". NSFW obviously. Anyway, great dogs. Loving personality but at the same time strong/protective as sh/t.

Agreeing with you only because this is the first time I have agreed with anything you have said.

Pitbulls are great, great pets.

I've decided to revive this thread based on recent threads where people had stupid opinions about dogs. My original list, with greyhound at #10 instead of setter, stands as the definitive list of dog breeds that are needed.

Pit bulls are trash dogs.

I didn't realize at first that this thread was 2 years old, so reading the OP I got annoyed that the St. Bernard was not included, and I was going to post about it, but then I realized post #2 was a hilarious insult of the OP for not including the St. Bernard. Then I looked at the poster name and it was me. You should dig up more of my Greatest Hits.

Weimaraners are the most beautiful dog (but a little crazy for a big dog). Incredible running companions.

+1

1. dalmation - rides in firetrucks

2. doberman - guard dogs at black owners businesses like an auto shop

3. pitbull - for t shirt images and gangster rap videos

4. coon dog - for obvious reasons

5. st. bernard - for swiss alps posters

6. tijaunian mutt - for scoring points with your bumper when traveling through mexico with a rental car with full insurance

7. chiquauha - for punting

8. miniature poodle - theyre cute

9. bird dog - same reason as a coon dog

10. black lab - they're majestic af

I would add two breeds for the original list:

11. Newfoundland- cold water rescue

12. Golden Retriever- therapy dog, wing man.

I would note that the Goldens I have had have shown strong water rescue instincts but were not trained. Golden puppies appear to be the best wingmen ever created. If Jamin were serious in his pursuit of dates all he would have to do is get or even borrow a golden puppy and take it to a nice park near a college or city center and let the puppy work its magic.

In terms of Golden vs Lab for other trained purposes is that from my experience the Lab tends to be slightly more orientated to its pack or person while Goldens are love hounds. I assume that the Lab would therefore work slightly better in jobs where not being distracted would be good.

Dachshunds are a blast. Maybe they're of no practical use, but they're funny and quite loyal.

My expert take on the breed based on my experience with one (girlfriend's roommate) is that they stink. Literally. Like the worst gas I have ever smelled, 24/7. Lingering gas that, once released, sits heavily in a cloud that slowly fills the room and never dissipates. Monster dumps three times per walk, each one smelling worse than the last. Hooked hair that gets into everything and doesn't wash out, so you're still finding it months later. Drool everywhere. Grunts and snorts like a pig. And dumb as a post.

But very playful and companionable, so at least there's that.

My wife and I have a pitbull/lab/viszla mix. She can handle 5+ miles easily (pretty sure she could go longer, haven't really tried) is very trainable, very sweet. She's dog aggressive, but only because she got attacked by an off-leash dog at a local park; she played well with dog of all breeds ages and sexes before that. She's recovering from that with training.

As with so many things, there is more variation within large groups than between large groups.

Not a dog person with those dogs. Those are garbage dogs.

Damn.

Adopt a dog mutt or shelter or foster one..

Anyone who actually bought a pure bred needs to rethink there next dog...or go adopt one to balance out the equation.

Get a mutt... the shelters are full of great dogs. People who pony up $ for a pure bred need to rethink their strategy. You can find a mutt that looks close enough to your desired style if you care that much....Support your local shelter with that money... adopt a dog or puppy who needs a home. You can find a mutt that is 50% of any of these breeds and probably is healthier and happier.

Seriously save a dogs life and give one a good home.

I saw somewhere the perfect dog is 30-40 pounds dirty brown mutt... they live/love the longest and healthiest.

Pit has to be up there. They are one of the most LOYAL dogs on the planet. They get a bad rap and their owners get a bad rap but they are the #1 breed in my opinion. I rescued one 11 years ago and he is still a part of our family. He has welcomed 3 children into our family with no problems and you can tell by his demur that our family means much more to him than his own life. I take him to work with me every day, best companion, best watch dog, eager to please and once again loyal. You can't beat a well trained Pit Bull.

You really shouldn't beat any Pit Bull or any other animal for that matter.
