Which dog is man's best friend

Clearly there's only one such breed that can hold this title. Strong, loyal, determined and above all instinctive.

The German Shepherd is the dog for the job. Shitbulls need not apply.

I unironically love mutt dogs. I pick up unwanted dogs and give them as much love and care as I can give them. The rewards are tremendous.

Going by sheer range of utility, Rottweiler is still the ultimate top tier god tier dog.

Only biddable mastiff, designed to be both a protection and draft dog. ONLY mastiff that you can reliable let off lead and socialise around other humans and animals but STILL keep as a protection dog. Alsatian is close but still needs more handling.

In the right hands, the king of dogs. In the wrong hands, the devil himself.

Oh yeah, and Alsatians aren't mastiffs anyway.

German shepherd, Husky, Dachshund and Czechoslovakian Wolfdog.

Best dogs!

>Rottweiler is still the ultimate top tier god tier dog
Totally agree.
Big, goofy, lovable, great with children, loyal.
I used to say that if someone got to my stuff or me through my Rott, they earned it. They're just viciously protective, especially if you have kids.

Yeah, because it's probably the best put together dog of all time. Designed to keep that core mastiff protection quality but, very crucially, be able to train too. You don't get that with other mastiffs at all. Maybe the distant offshoots like the Newfoundland but amongst the guardian class, Rottweiler is still the ONLY one you can safely take off a lead in a park during the day, and leave it to protect your property at night.

I'd really like one but I just need to find a good breeder.

It matters what task it at hand friend, its why whites bred different dogs for different tasks.
A border collie for instance is the most intelligent and the best herding dog there is, pic related.

Anyone that thinks this is a good idea, clearly doesn't have a clue about dogs at all. I've never come across any wolfdog that wasn't an unmitigated fucking problem.

If you want an Eastern dog, this and the Tibetan Mastiff are the only two to bother with.

True, but collies that don't work can be a problem because they don't have the right stimulation. I see a lot of them in London parks and always the owners are complaining because the dog doesn't do this, doesn't do that. Meanwhile, they don't even fucking bring a ball along for the poor thing. Really pisses me off.

My friend had an old Rott who lost an eye to a bunch of asshole kids, he was still a sweet thing. Depth perception was a problem though.

Until it turns on its master and rips out a child's throat.

It's a good choice, but I can't stress enough how protective they are. You have to be mindful of it. Especially with children.
I had a friend come to my house the dog didn't know, and she positioned herself between me and the door, and wouldn't let me get by her, while she growled at my poor friend shitting bricks. They're very serious about protecting their own.
If you have kids, pretty much no one but you is going near them. It sounds great and all, but you really have to keep an eye on that.

Spaniels.

Belgian Malinois, actually. Polar dogs like Huskies and Samoyeds are god tier.

You must be a bad person if a dog thought you are.

Ok, good tip. I'll remember that, thanks. I usually socialise all my puppies to handle guests and strangers at the door, but I'm not fussed about a Rottweiler keeping that guardian quality.

Did you raw feed yours? Any other tips?

I have an Aussie, it's an excellent guard dog, it's all bark and no bite, which in the communist caliphate of canada, is an important feature for liability.

You guys are fags, none of those dogs is able to kill for you

I never fed any of them raw meat, ever (I've owned 5 in my life). Play with them, A LOT. Walk them. A LOT. If it growls when you put your hand near its food, you have a bad one, get rid of it. Get a female, they're smaller, but no less formidable. Make sure they interact with children from the beginning, even if it's a neighbor's kid. Reward them with attention, not treats- it works better in most cases.
Kennel train them if you can stand the noise.

The worst is owners who forget how protective their dogs are and treat it lightly. I went over my friends house when I was 12 and his rott bit a hole through my ass. Only then did his parents bother to lock it up. After a while they accepted me but i was still scared every time going to his place

Dogs can smell your fear, don't be a pussy and you will be fine

Anyone who doesn't have literal wolves is a triple gay turbo faggot.

>border collie
This one. You really need to be rich and jobless or a rancher (same thing lmao) to have one, though.

I can't imagine what a bad girl mine would be if my wife and I weren't there to constantly interact with her. It's like having a child who can't speak.

Ok, cool. I usually rotate dogs so I have one when one dies because I can't handle the grief. One small, one large. I usually keep the small one as a terrier type but I've just lost my little guy over Christmas, so now it's just the female Labrador. I thought of getting a larger male this time so thought I'd go for a Rottie. In my own experience, males tend to be more affectionate (across all breeds) and females more trainable - so yeah, maybe you're right, and I'll just wait for the Lab to go.

Thanks for the tips. Appreciated. That photograph is just d'awwww. Can't wait to have one.

Why do I want such a silly thing.
I dont want a dog that kills people, how can I walk such a creature .

Times getting worse, I want an animal that can protect me and not the other way around.

Wolves are NOT dogs. Not even vaguely the same. Anyone who has either a wolf (which is no-one) or a wolf hybrid is a quadruple gay turbo faggot who shouldn't be allowed to have animals at all.

ALL dogs are best dogs. You shut your whore mouth.

They are fairly similar. Quite a few dog breeds aren't that fit to be held as pets either.

I don't like dogs that are taller than a calf. ~ 60cm height is perfect imo

It's worth emphasizing for new doggo owners how important walks are. WALKS, not drags, I see many owners of both big and small dogs get dragged around by their pets, which only will lead to bad behavior in other areas of life. When you first get your puppy buy a harness instead of a collar, so it can learn proper leash manners without being strangled. A few good walks a day make a huge difference in day to day behavior.

Wrong.
Rottwielers were sheep and cattle herders on their own without supervision.
They aren't single master dogs like GSD or dobermann they are herd family dogs.
They even gain sympathy for sheep.

>If it growls when you put your hand near its food,
How can you just get rid of a dog? I have a 2 standard poodles for hunting. One is kinda a dick if he has food. Never bitten anyone, but has growled when hes under his table a few times. I would fuck him up so i'm not worried, but thinking about getting a more guard dog style so not sure how to deal with that.

> Irrelevancies

A dog is so far removed from a wolf, that it's literally a different animal. Anyone who says otherwise, literally has no clue about dogs at all.

You need to train your dog, man. Food guarding is a sign that you're not keeping the right hierarchy between your dogs. Dog first in must take priority.

>nongerman language

Let me put it this way: I had a Rottweiler who would wake me up by standing on my shoulders, PINNING ME DOWN, and licking my face.
I do NOT want a dog who can do that to show any kind of aggression whatsoever towards me. Either they will never show aggression, or they will, and one is bad.
I don't care how you get rid of it, but you don't want it. Take it to a shelter, give it away, whatever. Putting up with a dog who shows aggression to its own master is stupid, but it's brainless Russian Roulette to do that with a dog that can tear your face off in two seconds. It's sheer retardation if you have kids. "OH MY GOD YOUR HAND IS GONE! Did you try to touch Fluffy's food?"
It's their temperament. One way is suitable and one isn't. A 120lb+ (on the small side) potential killing machine is nothing to gamble on.

I seen my pit take down a full size Rottweiler twice it's size easily. The owner was freaking out I couldn't help but laugh that someone would own such a pathetic breed.
