can someone recommend a dog?

[monstermmf]

But he's my baby boy. He's little enough. 29", 98 lbs. of lovable wuss that looks like a demon.

Mines a female.. She was born and noone wanted the female so I actually got her for free from a friends parents. They were going to take her to the pound.. At first I got her shots, and had her papers, and was going to sell her and make some money, but I decided to keep her. She lives with my parents now as they grow older for something to keep them busy and keep in their mind that they have a gaurd. I will eventually get another one, but she's still mine. I see her regularly apart from traveling, school, and business stuff. Just getting close to a year old now, and she's fucking huge.. I think you may of missed the story, a while back ago, that I posted about her eating a cc vile of test prop.. I think that aided in her growth a bit.. That and I started feeding her high in protein dog food, with a spoon full of cottage cheese as well to help her bones develop, and not let the juice go to waste.. No bad effects of it.. I'm sure it hurt a bit when she shit the vile out though

We have 3 Female Chihuahuas..
All 3 are different in size, coat, shape and temperment.
Very sweet, Very very smart, very loving and very protective..

I though I would hate them, only knowing about them from the skinny shaking frail ones I had seen on TV etc. Taco Bell..

I must say that is far from reality, and that they have attitude for their size.
No one is getting in the house or anywhere near it without you knowing about it.

I do hate it when the doorbell rings and all 3 haul ass in attack bark mode to the door.

i have heard that cottage cheese and yogurt are good for dogs (non flavored)

A mongrel is likely to be more robust genetically.

The alternative is to get a cross of purebreeds with the characteristics you're looking for. Bloodhound/Great Dane/Mastiff would make a fine combination for a dog that could probably bench more than its owner. I'd throw in some St.Bernard for a deadlifter.

I know that it's very good for larger dogs that grow fast. With a doberman for example... When they're legs grow, as fast as they do, they're legs will start to bend out, to the point where it kind of looks like a bulldogs legs. So the cottage cheese helps the bones stay strong, and grow properly. If not done, sometimes the dogs can have a lot of problems with their legs when they get older. I also fed a tblspn of vegi oil a day to help with her coat, keeps her nice and shiny, and helps prevent dry skin. Vitamins 2 times a day as well.

my dog died last february, and after my mom crying for two months she finally got over it... i thought...

we agreed we wouldnt get a new dog because our lsat one got diabetes and it was SO much work to give her shots twice a day and be there when she eats and plan everything around her, (which did for over a year), but now whenever my mom sees a dog she says she wants tone so i think my dad is gunna get her one.

the last dog we had was a bichon frise (sp), and shes buriedi n my front lawn.

so can anyone recommend a smaller dog, that doesnt shed, is pretty friendly, but doesnt get as many medical problems as bichons (apparently its common for them to get all sorts of fucked up diseases...my old dog was a wreck, she had to have expensive knee surgeries -couldn teven handle stairs after that- diabetes, constant bladder infections)

I have a Pug and he is awesome! Phenomenal personality. Very smart dogs.
They do shed some though - they have hair not fur. If not bred properly they can have hip problems however if you get one from a reputable breeded they are fine.
