I like Golden Retrievers. My Dixie will be 9 years old next month. I feel lucky that I have spent this time with her. She keeps my emotions in check.

We recently became a dog house with a Great Dane who was born on April 2. The poor guy has had some difficult health challenges – my wife can recite their actual names, I just call them the $6k and counting maladies. All of the challenges that he faced with amazing resilience and good nature only make us love him even more. Well, the humans anyway. The cats are still adjusting to no longer ruling the roost.

Triad, I am so disappointed that your favorite dog was not

In the past there has been a Collie, 3 Springer Spaniels, and 2 Great Pyrenees. Presently there are 2 Shelties, 3 Sussex Spaniels and 2 more Great Pyrenees (Livestock Guardian Dogs).

I am guardian to eight Golden Retrievers and cannot imagine life without canine companionship. The pack is comprised of 13-year-old sisters, three of their daughters, ages 7, 8, and 9, a 6-year-old stud (icon photo) and two of his offspring, a male and a female, from the March 17, 2017 litter. They are all AKC champions--it's a minor business of mine--including both 17-month adolescents who earned their championship credentials this summer, but I've had mixed breeds and numerous canines who I didn't show and I didn't love them any less.

Congratulations to all who have opened their hearts and homes to these loyal and loving creatures. May all your four-legged family members live long, happy and healthy lives.

Me, I've had 5 purebred German Shepards and they were all great. But the best dog for me is "the Rescue Mutt". Emphasis on the mutt, though the rescue can be important because they seem to know you were their hero and they never forget. The "mutt" portion can often mean your dog will be healthy and live longer than the purebred cousins, who have had genetic weaknesses intensified by the "pure" breeding and the AKC's breed standards. Got two rescues with me now , they have the couches, I have my chair. We are watching The Godfather.

A friend of mine just got a Samoyed puppy and it is ADORABLE:

I did have a dream the other day about going to the fair and getting a massive hot dog with chili overflowing the bun, had to be a dream cause there wasnt any slaw, onions, or mustard on it

 

[triaddukefan]

One of the things I enjoy the most about going for walks in the park are seeing all the different kind of doggies walking their owners. I do perk up and smile whenever I see/pass by a beagle (my lifelong favorite breed)

First dog we got in our marriage. BoBo was his nameo ... he liked to get out and find offal or poop to rub in ... other than that a great dog. Sadly, the wife had it with the whole roll in merde thing and we found him a family who sent us a Christmas card a year thanking us for BoBo.

My guy is a Great Dane/Boxer mix. He is 1.5 years old and is a fabulous dog. ( I have never had either of these breeds). He has the gentleness and love of a Dane ( loves kids, other animals, people in general), sits in your lap, and is an overall loverbug, combined with the energy, playfulness of a boxer.

Meet my 100lb boy, Hagrid.

My favorite is the ubiquitous and adorable American mutt. Long may they reign.

Beef and pork, soft roll, mustard, relish, onions.

Hold the relish, pile on the onions.

Now Im conflicted.... do I go for a late afternoon walk in the park to look at the dogs... or head to the Ice Cream Parlor for 4 hot dogs Carolina Style
