Least favortie dog breed trait..

[elegy]

aloofness and barkiness.

I can't stand a dog that is:
Yappy
Fawns over complete strangers
Lazy

~~~

I don't like strangers, so I prefer an aloof dog. My husband loves Lily, who is an affection wh*re. I prefer Lacey because she'd rather be left alone by strangers - and so would I. She's very affectionate to me and my family, just not new people.
Excessive barking drives me insane, and I want a dog I can play with, that doesn't look at me from the sofa like "you've gotta be kidding me, you go get the ball"

Yappy dogs, in my breed it seems to be more acceptable that they are yappy.
I get so sick of people saying 'It's a jrt and/or terrier and that is what they bark'. BS, go hunting with a bunch of terriers, the only dogs barking are the ones in the earth working, the rest of them that are staked near by or at other sette exits are quiet. And it isn't acceptable to have yapping dogs in the working field.

Dog aggresion. I dont mind my dog being reserved with people but dog aggresion is something I wouldnt be able to deal with. My dogs love eachother, live together, and i dont want to be rotating crates ect..
Im also a very "dog activity" kinda person, i love the dog park, dog parades and i love that my dog enjoys being with other dogs and playing.

Yapiness.. barking at the door bell, ect.. w/e thats OK but constand yappiness is too much for me

Dog Aggression and a dog that can't be let off lead/out of fences.

Pushiness - dogs that beg for attention, beg to go outside, bark for attention, demand barking (GIMME THAT!), whining, etc. The dogs I work with learn REAL FAST that unless they're patient, they're not getting ANYTHING.

Also mouthiness. This is the main reason why I would not want a puppy, but also many adult dogs mouthe and it drives me crazy. I guess it kinda falls under the "pushiness" category in my mind.

Jack went through this during his adolescent asshole stage. He was stubborn--if you refused to give him what he wanted until he calmed down he would just throw a bigger fit. Unfortunately for him I was more stubborn....
