"Only working dogs are real dogs!"

Wait, you mean that doesn't make it right?

Awesome post Blue!!

Poor Blue. He just can't get to the point. LOL.

does that pillow come with?! would go just fine in my place im all about rich earty and jewel tones, golds and reds work perfect, but im broke, payment plans acceptable?!

but i think put a lil red bandanna and a cute cowboy hat and shed fit ANY ranch theme.

I call it as I see it, the difference is I do not feel the need to "cover my butt" because I do see people on the internet I do not know as people. I respond to their posts as if I was talking to them one on one, not as some impersonal being that I can act or respond in any way I want too. When I do insult or act inapropriatly I appollogise and take my licks, or at least try to.

I see no need to do anything online that I wouldnt do offline.

I love all dogs. With purebreds, I do prefer to see breeders breeding dogs who are functional in their original purpose, unless it's something cruel (like dog fighting) or outdated (like labradors bred to bring fishermen's nets in) or unless their original purpose was companionship (in which case show breeders are fulfilling their original purpose, so hoorah!) It saddens me when herding breeds lose their instincts, especially border collies.

I don't think any less of dogs who don't serve their original "purpose" any more, but I do prefer breeders who breed for the original purpose, if that makes sense.

Its borderline Trolling to my eyes, look at how fast this thread grew>

OC if you can treat people online with less respect than those you deal with offline Im glad I dont know you in real life. My feelings on that type of attitude goes with real life and any forum I belong to where it isnt expected.

some breeds are simply bred for the job of companionship

But what if I don't want one of those breeds? Is that okay?

well lets face it...ALL breeds were bred for companionship, so if its not a trait your looking for a fish or cat might be a better choice..fish simply think people make good tv and cats simply think were here to serve them...

sorry, if your not looking for companionship, its just not a dog...

REAL DOGS ARE COMPANIONS FIRST

I take exception to this. My cats are marvelous companions.
