Dog question...

[El Caballo Loco]

Can't help you out with the questions, but there are a ton of dogs that need a loving home. So if your hybrid thing doesn't work out, might want to look at rescue dogs. I have one, he's a total knucklehead, but I love him anyway.

Not trying to be all high and mighty, just throwing out an idea. Good luck!

This....


Dogs are getting put down everyday in shelters because of breeders and piss poor owners. Walk in there and grab the oldest dog you can find and give it a good place to die.

Monkey just got his yellow belt. He's a quick learner! Seriously wolf hybrids can be a little dicey as far as temperment goes. Be careful on who is breeding goes.

The energy factor is something to consider as well. These dogs are chock full of energy. Someone with an extremely active lifestyle that has the ability and freedoms to include the dog in their daily life would be an ideal owner. Not only to burn energy but also to maintain constant assertion of dominance.

i dunno anything about these hybrid dogs your talkin about but i'd recommend 'puppies voice'

all puppies, all rescue animals from kill shelters and its super cheap ~ $150 and they pay for half of their snip job

cheapy rescue puppies are the best thing you can ask for IMO

I was reading a story the other day about a woman who goes into the shelter and picks out a dog that has obviously had the hardest life and will be put down a few days later due to illness. She'll take it home, give it all the love and attention she can for a week and then then make sure that it's passing goes as easily as possible.

I don't think I could do that, but it's about the best thing I've ever heard.

Shelters have a LOT of dogs to choose from - and most will outlive any fancy pure breed/half wolf/GSD, etc.

I'd like to read that as well Chad.

So the general consensus is to get a rescued dog? I'd rather not go with the oldest dog possible as this is technically my *First* (on my own not-family) dog, and I'm just gonna go ahead and be honest here the puppy>chicks factor is possibly the best unintended consequence of having my favorite companion. I am pretty active and have already vowed that regardless of breed this dog is going everywhere possible with me, he/she is gonna be a for sure car dog. Thanks for the advice.

When you go to the pound, walk straight keep your head down, focus on what you have in your mind, do not look at all of them or you will be going home with a truck load of them.
