I have a golden retreiver lab mix. Some of you may have seen him at the SFG race at US 131. He rode with me and wife on the golf cart even though we have a back seat he wants to sit between us. Smart and understands what I say. I would take him with me while I went to the restrooms and tell him to stay on golf cart and he would wait there. He loves kids and just about everyone he meets. He's a great race dog. When we go just him and me, I leave the back door open on the pickup and when he sees me get my fire jacket he goes and gets in the back seat and waits til I get back from a pass. While we were in Michigan we went to South haven and took a tour of the lake for an hour, had to ask everyone if it was ok if my dog Champ could go and no one had a problem. He sat beside me on the ledge seats and looked at the shore and houses like everyone else and didn't move off his seat. I have had smart dogs before but he has become family and he goes where ever we go with no problems out of him.

My Woody is my best pal and constant companion. He's a chihuahua/min pin mix. I rescued him 3 years. This is where he rides. He points all the pretty girls.
Thats funny. A buddy of mine went up town one day in jeep with his dog riding. Said man if I knew this in school .I would have had open vehicle and a dog riding with me all the time.

Seriously the cat ate it. Had a chihuahua along side a 4 year old 18.5 lb male aggressive mean cat and they played HARD. Came home from work expecting the dog to come running while the cat sleeps, dog didn't come running but I found blood on the floor, and the dog laying lifeless behind the toilet. She was 12 years old though and that's on up there for a chihuahua. The cat was 4. Now I have another cat and he's a lot nicer but still plays hard enough even for me to respect every inch of it. Good thing he stays outside most of the time. But it does a wonderful job of keeping the rodent population in check, with the bad part being that I have to endure the little jerk showing up with a mouse head once in a while, I guess as a "gift". He likes to bring them to me and I'll throw it across the yard and he'll fetch it, bring it back, and repeat for hours if you let it. I usually get tired of watching a cat fetch long before that. One day he came running in hollering and had a crawdad latched tight onto his tongue. Funny but I bet it hurt.

Ok, so I wanted a Fila Brasileiro. Wife got us a Bichon Frise who acts, and believes she is a Fila Brasileiro. I'm not about to tell her the truth, she has a really nasty bite.
The up-side is we don't have coyotes in our back yard at night.

My ****zu lives in my house. pee pee pad trained. I sneak her out to run maybe 3 or 4 times a year. She is allergic to grass pollen .other things. I lost My Rottweiler about 2 yrs. ago from a seizure, She was my kid it really hurt.She lived in the house and at my shop around the AC. She had serious health issues. Thyroid etc. She weighed almost 140 lb. At least 30lbs. heavey Hard to go wrong with a GS.

My favorite breeds are Siberian Husky and Malamute. They are probably the smartest dogs there is, but the problem is, they KNOW THEY ARE....and can be very stubborn because of it. You can't train them like regular dogs, you have to negotiate...but for a family dog or companion, there isn't any better. They will argue with you though, especially the siberian, as they are very vocal. And they like to run...you can't have them off a leash and your yard had better be secure, because they are escape masters!!! But they are friendly, loving, and very loyal. Suck as guard dogs though...they will let someone in, show them where everything is, and leave with them......then there's the fur thing....But I love them nevertheless.....

Might disagree on that. I had a Eskimo Spitz up till about 4 years ago. I swear you told her once and that was all that was needed. It did not matter if it was to do or not to do she knew it.
Unfortunately she died from cancer and that was first command she disobeyed me on. I told her for cpl months she had to get better and not die on me.Their profile said up to 20 years life and I got cheated out of 8 years.
