What breeds of dogs do DUers own?

[doni_georgia]

I have a bulldog and an Australian Shepherd. My bulldog, Mr. Granger (named after the character on the British comedy "Are You Being Served") looks like a repuglican, but he's really a great dog. Beowulf, my Aussie, has the inteligence of Dubya, but we love him anyway.

[Alenne]

1. mutt nt

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. Star

is part black lab and part golden retriever. Anyone know how to break him of chasing my cats? He's just a puppy (we took him in when a friend became too ill to keep the pup).

[doni_georgia]

7. My cat kicked my bulldog's ass - broke him of the habit n/t

[lovedems]

3. Border Collie named Pepper

Our last dog was a Chocolate Lab named Shine. Shine Ass Shine was his name but we just called him Shine. (All you Rudy Ray Moore fans will know what I'm talking about)

[Ladyhawk]

96. I am rather fond of border collies.

If I ever owned a dog, I think I'd want a border collie, but I'd have to lead a much more active life than I do now.

[Donkeyboy75]

4. Boxer!

He's pictured in my avatar.

[camero]

5. Siberian Husky

And I also have a Lab-Vizla mix.

[dolo amber]

6. We have

an English bulldog named Althea (oddly enough, after the Grateful Dead song someone posted the lyrics to here earlier! :D) and a pug named Gomez. Because that's the best name for a pug EVER. ;)

(And just for the record, I didn't name the bulldog, as I wouldn't listen to the Grateful Dead on a bet. :P)

[doni_georgia]

10. I always wanted a female pug named "Aunt Bea" n/t

[dolo amber]

12. Heh...

That'd certainly be appropriate as well! :D

I should have specified that's the best name for a MALE pug, ever. ;)

[fishnfla]

8. Sandy Golden Packer

golden retriever

[baldguy]

9. mutt

Zelda sez "hi!"

[Eureka]

30. Hi Zelda!

You look like you're very smart for a young dog.

Anyone have a :pats: smiley?

[Nite Owl]

11. Our boy is an

American Eskimo and the little girl is a Toy Poodle. She was my mom's and I promised to take care of her when she passed away. I was never fond of the little ones but she is a sweetheart.

[Eureka]

13. Schauzers....

Three of them, two have been made Champions. And, even better, one of their pups recently won this countries premier show.

The parents...


And the winner, Balthazar...

[LostInAnomie]

25. I have a miniature schnauzer...

...named Riley

[Eureka]

29. Excellent, give Riley a pat for me!!

Ours are standards.

Gee, aren't schnauzers experts at getting filthy!

Doe's Riley wipe his/her beard on you? Ours do, whenever their beard is really filthy (like when they've been in the cow paddock or horse paddock) they like to wipe themselves all over any bit of you they can get to.

They also liked doing it on a timber wall at home, but now all the walls are brick, which they aren't so into.

[LostInAnomie]

55. Riley is kinda prissy so he avoids getting dirty at all costs.

He is obsessed with playing fetch though. So obsessed in fact that he understands the names for all his toys (ball, bone, monkey, pig, kong, rhino, etc..). If I say "Go get the rhino" he will run all over the house until he finds it.

I'm hooked on schnauzers for life.

[MissMillie]

115. Cutest little guys!

Do they make good housepets?

[doni_georgia]

60. They are precious! My husband is partial to schnauzers

[FreeSpeechCrusader]

79. I also own a miniture schnauzer...

they are the most loving loyal dogs that I have ever owned...I also own a golden retriever that thinks he is smaller than my schnauzer...my goldie thinks he's a lap dog. Both are wonderful breeds.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

14. Golden Retriever

And he's a pistol but I love him MADLY.

[Tom_Foolery]

15. Three Dogs...

A Rotweiller named Johnny Kash Tricker that lives outside; a one-eyed Beagle named Holly; and a Doc Russell (half Dachsund, half Jack Russell) named Buddy. Buddy and Holly live inside. Well, actually, it's their house. They just keep us around to wait on them.

[didntvote4shrub]

34. Hee!!

We have a Dalmatian we call Holly, whose full name is "Miss Buddy Holly" -- parents are "Ebony & Ivory" and "Jammin Beau Diddly". Her older sibling is Kasey Kasem.

Kasey meets Holly at three weeks...

?mtbrand=AOL_US

[Tom_Foolery]

42. That's cute!! Dogs are GREAT!! n/t

[Bunny]

16. Pug and Golden Retriever n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

17. Braque du Bourbonnais

named Corbu.


http://homepage.mac.com/perryc/PhotoAlbum17.html

[Menshevik]

18. yellow lab!

[salinen]

19. She's kelpie and Aussie

I think. Maybe a little lab too.

[welshTerrier2]

20. it may be hard for you to believe this ...

but my pup's a welsh terrier ...

and my avatar is her picture ...

[SW FL Dem]

21. Cairn Terriers

aka "Toto dogs"

[opiate69]

22. 1 Pomeranian and the cutest little

half pom/half shih-tzu you've ever seen.

[madaboutharry]

23. A Boston Terrier

named Louie, after Satchmo.

[Divernan]

24. We've had two Aussies and they were each much smarter

than Du(m)bya. Plus they were extremely sweet-natured and loyal. And they were quite capable of working for a living - another difference from W. I had mine trained to silent (hand) signals. Sadly they have both gone to that great cattle roundup in the sky. We still miss them.

[NMDemDist2]

48. and I thought i was the only person crazy enough

to have multiple "herders"

[livetohike]

81. Me too!

I posted before I read all of the posts. I have a Catahoula Leopard and an ACD. They love to stare down each other and then zip around the yard. I wish we had some acreage, but we have a few places to go where they can cut loose.

[doni_georgia]

62. My aussie is a sweety, just really not bright - which is weird for the

breed. Wulfy is 8 years old and still acts like a puppy. He does love to try and herd the cat, though, and he's great at keeping the kids in our yard.

[Ladyhawk]

97. Aussie shepherds are a close second.

If I were to own a dog, they'd be a serious consideration. But right now, I don't lead an active enough lifestyle for energetic border collies or Aussie shepherds.

[kodi]

26. 3 kuvasz, 1 lab, 1 pit bull/rhodesian ridgeback mix, 1 chihauhua

any other kuvasz wranglers here?

[Quetzal]

65. I just love Kuvaszs!!!

I heard that they are protective of the ones to which they are closest. Is that true?

[kodi]

77. very protective with an uncanny ability to know precisely when to act

there is nothing like a kuvasz for personal and property protection. they are the premiere human guardian.

brave, bold, assertive, and silly all at the same time. and not at all for a weak-willed owner.

i intend to have a kuvasz by my side the rest of my life.

http://members.aol.com/kfa4kuvasz/

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Shetland Sheepdog! Jessie!

Actually she's trying to convince me to co own with Dookus right now! :hi:

[formactv]

28. Blue Merle Collie female

Dulcie. Where does she keep all those brains?

[Zorro]

31. Pit Chihuahua

Something of a cross between a rat and a pirahna.

He's a tough little shit with a chip on his little doggie shoulder when he meets any other dog, but absolutely lovable around people.

[sasquatch]

32. I have a Aussie Shepard too!

He's about as smart as Shrub as well.

[TexasProgresive]

35. you are so cruel to put down your dog that way,

I'm sure he's way smarter then shrub and would like to lift a friendly leg to him.

[sasquatch]

39. He does pee on car tires to claim them as his

He does it to friends of the family all the time.

[doni_georgia]

63. We were in denial about his mental ability for a while, but we've decided

that he probably (no joke) has a dog version of some mental disability. He was very difficult to train, which is extremely unusual for the breed. He is the sweetest dog. My son is autistic, and honestly we have talked about whether my dog is autistic too (if that's possible). He and my son, though, have a wonderful connection. He will actually mind my son, when he appears deaf to the rest of us.

[zbird]

33. Two mutts, both rescued from friends who couldn't keep them.

A male named Taz who is now old and cranky with separation anxiety issues and a female puppy named Crystal who loves to chase shadows and her own tail (and steal food from the table).

They both have some kind of Spaniel in them and are quite lovable, even when they drive us nuts.

[Bonhomme Richard]

36. Boomer...A mix of............

Labrador retriever and pitbull. So basically a 80lb pitbull..Has always been a great dog, except that one time two other dogs attacked him. It wasn't a pretty site. LOL I never heard a dog squeal like a pig before and it turned out ok as I got him to drop the dog and it took off.

Saw him a few days later walking Boomer and when he saw us he went the other direction.

[wyldwolf]

37. hybrid wolves

[TexasProgresive]

38. 2 Great Pyrenees

They are great dogs. Both are working dogs but Nickle is way old for a giant breed at 12+ He has trouble getting around but would think of being separated from his beloved goats. Nana is young and a bit riotious . She is settling down and will be a wonderful guardian. Both are smarter then * but that's not saying much. Often I think they are smarter then me.

[cmd]

40. 1 Maltese

and he is spoiled rotten.

edit: sorry. He belongs to my husband.

[arwalden]

41. ShihTzu

[solinvictus]

43. 2 chihuahuas

Phee and Fritz, who are sister and brother.

[mac56]

70. Also two chihuahuas.

Scandal and Smidgen, who are brothers.

[carols]

44. Chow/Husky mix, Chihuahua/Daschund mix, Pug

n/t

[kixot]

45. A dachshund and a beagle.

These aren't ours but they are identical.

[NMDemDist2]

46. a Sheltie bitch, a border collie dog, and a aussie-border bitch

18 months, 6 years and 11 years respectively

[NewHampster]

47. Brittany named Charlie - the cat of dogs. eom

[SarahB]

49. American Eskimo

[bicentennial_baby]

50. Siberian Husky, Alaskan Husky and Eskimo

My babies...

[JohnLocke]

51. I have an Australian Shepherd, too!!! (nt)

[Eureka]

53. This is strange....

Hi John, BTW

I've lived in Australia for 33 years, and we breed show dogs, and I am yet to meet anyone who has had an Australian Shepherd, or for that matter seen them. Very few have even heard of them.

Odd. Over hear, if we want an Aussie dog, it's a Kelpie or an Australian Cattle Dog (heeler).

Please give your dog a pat for me :-)

[doni_georgia]

59. My mom and dad have a keeler - I'll give Wulfy a good belly rub from you

[gypsy11]

75. I had an Aussie too

Best dog EVER!!!!!! So loving and smart.
His name was Ziggy.

[Ladyhawk]

99. I seem to remember that Aussie shepherds didn't originate in Oz.

Could someone verify this?

[mvd]

52. Mixed breed

We got Reba from the pound, so we don't know for sure. We think she has German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and Collie. I might start a thread soon asking for opinions on her breeds.

[PartyPooper]

54. I believe I'm the only Du'er with a Tibetan Terrier.

He's a great dog...and we love him a lot.


And, of course, I wanted to name him "Free"...but, we didn't.

;-)

[doni_georgia]

58. I had a Tibetan Terrier when I was in college - his name was Booboo

[peacebuzzard]

56. I take care of 5 rescued pups: collie, part-rott, full basset, beagle-bas

basset and an unknown mix (pictured here) found at age 6 wks in Memphis, named Rudy (since he was found Dec 20th under a Rudolph reindeer in someone's yard as my sister was out walking the hounds in drenching pouring rain. )

[guitar man]

57. My babies

Here are my babies.



Birdie is a Pit Bull with a wee bit of Pointer mixed in. She is in charge of security around here and ensures our little corner of the world is a "freeper free" zone.



China Jade is a Shi-Tzu with a quirky personality. She watches tv intently and will bark at any animals she sees on the screen.

[MichaelUK]

61. 2 dogs

One mutt (probably some Pointer in her, but not sure what else) - called Katie. Daft as a brush, but very cute. Has learnt the door handle principle.

One collie - Ben. Got him off some "travellers" (aka as Gypsies). Has an irritating habit of jumping up whenever he wants attention and getting muddy paws all over you.

[Quetzal]

64. A Maltese

n/t

[rexcat]

73. We had a Maltese for almost 16 years...

They are great dogs. We currently have a rescued Blue Tick Coon Hound. A big contrast from the Maltese.

[Buns_of_Fire]

66. A very sweet-natured Doberman

I agreed to feed her, pet her, take her to the vet, and give her the run of the house and the yard.

In return, she agreed to protect the house and family and to bring me the occasional present of a dead possum or a dead snake. And she promised not to rip my throat out as I slept.

All in all, not too bad an arrangement (although I could have done without the dead possums).

[formernaderite]

67. A gorgeous American Pit Bull Terrier, and two Bichons.....

...and I get really tired of people maligning the Pit Bull. In our house, the two Bichons are the agressive dogs, the Pit a female, believes the Bichons to be her babies.

[Misunderestimator]

68. American Bobtail

...oh? Did you say dog? :)

[achtung_circus]

69. A recently deceased

Doberman named Lucy (aka Lucille, Loose Wheel)
and a Border Collie/Springer Spaniel cross with 3 legs named Jean Louise Finch (aka Scout, Scout about, Scuttle Buddy)
Scout stayed with my ex. It wasn't fair to move her across the country to a city she's never known, to live in someone else's house with 2 unknown cats.
I tell myself that. It's in her best interest that she stay where she is at her age (14) but I miss her desperately.

[Samurai_Writer]

71. Cocker Spaniel

Magic, who I rescued from the SPCA. He was heartwork positive and they were going to put him down. I took him, paid for his heartwork treatments, and he is very healthy now! He's 4 years old, black with a little white bib in front. A complete sweety and a very well-behaved and loveable dog!

[Rhiannon12866]

93. Cocker spaniels are my breed, as well

Here's my love, Barney. He was a stud dog at a commercial kennel, and was, fortunately, rescued before they could put him down because he got too old. He is definitely the sweetest dog I have ever known. A beautiful temperament and a beautiful dog. He was rescued at age 10 or 11 and I had him for eight years.

[SCDem]

72. 2 black labs

But I miss my dog that got hit by a car more than 2 years ago, she was half cocker and half terrier and the smartest dog I've ever known. She was just a sucker for food and the lady across the street has diabetes but likes to bake cakes so often she will bake a cake and put it out in the yard for the dogs to eat it. Idgy got hit on the way coming back.

[SiouxJ]

74. Two Dem Border Collies

I know they're Dems because they're so smart! Also, they love everyone so it only makes sense.

This is Boris and Natasha. Tasha is the one showing off.

[livetohike]

83. Beautiful!

I had the best Frisbee dog years ago - some dogs just really take to it. Looks like yours love it!

[SiouxJ]

89. Natasha absolutely LIVES for Frisbee

she likes it better than food or anything. She goes all out and you have to MAKE her stop and take a breather. She gets so high off the ground that sometimes she forgets she has to land, lol. She'll end up smashing down into the grass. She's so funny.

Thanks!

[windlight]

76. Greyhounds

nothing like a 40mph couch potato..:)

[southpaw]

107. Greyhounds rule!

And they are surprisingly lethargic... My girlfriend owns 4 retired racers.

Dandy
Yes
Tanya &
Ace

[RT Atlanta]

78. Bulldog

They are great dogs and this one is truly a character. His name is Luther and my two girls just adore the big teddy bear. Nothing like a bully to bring a smile to your face. :)

[livetohike]

80. Two shelter adopted puppies

Both are 16 months old now.

Cindy - a Louisiana Catahoula Leopard (blue merle)

Murphy - an Australian Cattle Dog mix (red merle)

They like to herd us on our hikes. They are two of the smartest dogs I have ever had. Very affectionate with people they know and wary with strangers/other dogs. Neither one needs to be, or should be around little kids.

They play hard and sleep hard.

[Rhiannon12866]

82. I have always had cocker spaniels

Yes, I know that this was both Nixon's and Poppy Bush's breed, but that was the dog I had as a kid, and loved, and what I was used to. However, fate stepped in. I have called twice about rescue cocker spaniels and have ended up, instead, with a tiny Brussels Griffon and a terrier mix. I have Meneken and Sara, who I love dearly. If they are yours, you do love them, despite anything.
:loveya:

[DemExpat]

84. I'm on my second (shelter adopted) Jack Russel Terrier.....

and before them I had a French Bassett hound - 'Artesian Normande'.....

Completely different breeds - both have their charms, of course.

DemEx

[Imalittleteapot]

85. Our girlie is a Standard Poodle. The tough guy is

a Miniature Schnauzer, rescued from Homeward Bound. He's lots of fun and the leader of the pack. The Poodle is sweet, smart and cuddly. Neither shed, but the grooming bills are outrageous. No, she does not have a show cut.

[liberalitch]

86. my dogs are cats...

I've trying to teach them to bark

[nolabels]

94. Our dogs would eat our cats

The cats do use the bark, they climb right up it when one of the dogs escapes from the back yard

[bearfan454]

87. Japanese Spitz, miniauture German Shepard, and a toy poodle.

They are my babies. I still miss my baby Daisy.

[ProfessorGAC]

88. Yellow Lab

Big sucker, too! Also, have two kitties.
The Professor

[Padraig18]

90. "American Mixed Breed"

2 of them. :P

[LibertyLover]

91. The Dogs who own me

My husband and I are owned by five - two retired racing Greyhounds named Sam and Hex; two whippets named Ptah and Djet; and one huge Siberian Husky named Bragi. And we have my stepdaughter's Belgian Tauverian (spelling is off on this one) whose name is Freyja because the stepdaughter is living with us at the moment. All are rescues, except the Tauverian.

[Rhiannon12866]

92. Welcome to DU, LibertyLover !

As you can see, you are among animal lovers, here. Photos? Your dogs sound beautiful. I posted photos of mine earlier on this thread. My little guy looks terrified, which he usually is, and my girl has "Village of the Damned" eyes, so anything is acceptable here.:-)

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

95. Skye Terriers x 3

That's right. Skyes. They're not Scotties.

[Awsi Dooger]

98. My Awsi is an apricot poodle

A miniature, actually a mini-toy in the 12 pound range.

Awsi is the friendliest pet I've ever known and will turn 15 in September.

[Gore1FL]

100. PitBeagle

The best dog I ever had -- He is a big brown dog with an overall beagle shape.

[RebelOne]

101. My doggie, Legend, is a 6-1/2-year-old Rottweiler.

And she is a sweetheart.

[Don_G]

102. Hot Dogs

They tend to disappear within a few days though.

[Rhiannon12866]

105. I thought you had cats

:shrug:

[Don_G]

112. Both

But Hot Dogs are a lot quieter to knaw on than cats.

[MAlibdem]

103. Mastiff-German Sheperd Mix

105 lbs. with social anxiety disorder (only w/ humans)...and jowls. Crazy dog.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

104. A Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab mix

Misty and Georgia. :)

[Dying Eagle]

106. a golden

and he is still a puppy, A BIG PUPPY, and he is a pain in the ass

[Autobot77]

108. A had a beagle

She died a month ago... If we get another dog I kinda want to get another beagle, either that or a rat terrier or pug

[Katarina]

109. 4 dogs here

We have a Border Collie named Zoe, a Jack Russell named Murphy and 2 Border/Jack pups (Zoe and Murphs babys) named Cookie and Toby.

[ornotna]

110. Australian cattle dog mix

Her name is Reina.

Spanish for queen.

[fudge stripe cookays]

111. Great Pyrenees

Unfortunately, I had to take him off my signature when my work profile got screwed up on Friday. The picture disappeared with it.

I wanted to re-load him, but the photo upload address seems to be having problems.

[Stockholm]

113. Soft-coated Wheaten Terrier (Softie) n/t

[MissMillie]

114. I've always wanted a bulldog

I hear they are very sweet-tempered

[wysimdnwyg]

3-Month old girl named Dusty.
