Do you have a favorite dog or cat breed?

When I lived in Arlington I used to go to cat shows. It was fun to see all the different breeds.

@dya80dya I think they are really exotic looking.

@snowy22315 Some breeds are interesting. I don't like hairless cats.

I used to have a cat that had a large portion of Abyssian in his blood. He was active. He used to follow us around everywhere even up ladders, up a mountain etc.

@snowy22315 Those cats are so lovely. My niece had a golden retriever and I always wondered how those dogs are considered intelligent. The neighbor across the road also has one and the dog is as dumb as the one of my niece.

They are neat looking. That cat Freddie that Rama Sandra has looks like it is largely Sphinx. Sis and bro in law have cat allergies but have always had them. I think they have gotten better throughout the years. I know at one time though they had to keep the cats out of the bedroom. Jax is a Chihaua..maybe mixed with a Pomeranian. He is on the hyper side.

All dogs chew butt they don't typically do things like dismember or devour a couch cushion like I have heard about Golden's doing.

@snowy22315 Bad dog behavior of any dog comes from bad training, People tend to hear about things about different dog breeds and automatically believe them. I have never heard anything bad about golden retrievers, but just because you hear something about a dog breed does not make it true. The old adage that you cannot judge a book by its cover rings true about any judgement of any kind. Dogs do what they are trained or not trained to do. Sometimes dogs are rescue dogs who came from abusive situations, and they can have bad behavior because of the fear from the abuse. But that has nothing to do with breed. Rottweilers and pit bulls are supposedly bad behaved dogs. Again, they are only as bad as their owners make them. My daughter has owned rottweilers for the past 23 years and never had a problem with them. She now owns a Rotti and a pit bull. They are both very gentle dogs wanting to love on everyone. I used to own an Alaskan Malamute and people were so afraid of him that they crossed the street whenever I took him for a walk. But he was very gentle as well.

@snowy22315 ;Not all dogs chew. My dog doesn't. She doesn't even play with her toys. She cuddles and asks for belly rubs.

I don't like bulldogs they slobber. The hairless cats are pretty cool. I think I would want one to wear to a sweater in winter.

@Happy2BeMe I bet..

@snowy22315 my friend hs two of them and they have quite the wardrobe.

OK, creature from the underworld..

Some of mine I inherited..or people asked if I would take them. Nico was living at a vet clinic. I guess you might say it was a private shelter.

I think Border Collies would be hard to manage due to their intelligence

@snowy22315 I wouldn't want one but they are very smart dogs.
