I like labs alot, but if I get a bigger place, I'd really like to get a German Shepherd.

I've heard they can't be matched in terms of intelligence.

My dog used to be the number one dog in america, untill it got a bad rap. I have a Doberman Pinscher, her name is Princess. She is the shit, she is not mean to people or dogs, just everything else. She is just really scary looking and thats about it. O well if she's not the most popular dog, she is still my baby.
Cool thread, where did you find this info. ?
Do they have info. on why or how they got these percentages.

My dog is half lab and half chihuahua, so she is decently popular I guess???

I've considered getting a JRT but I've heard they'll tear your place apart........abundant energy....

Jack's are crazy energy....but not too destructive....they are cool, my friends one does back flips

I got a pitt mutt....she is destructive, not so on purpose, but with the muscle and bone structure she slams into alot of stuff and breaks it.

Dobermans get a bad rap because they used to be the cop dog, and they were the dogs that were origanally on the beware of dog signs that everybody has on there fence. It depicted them as mean attack dogs, also they were always used in movies as watch dogs, like crocodile dundee, ect.......
Even the new movie Cats and Dogs shows the Doberman, but is shows them as the Army of the dogs, they were like Marines. It was kinda funny, but they are really not like that unless you train them to be, which goes for any dog.
Thats the main reason they have a bad rap.
O yeah and they look intimidating as hell, lol!!!!!
