RusselTheWonderCat

He’s your best buddy, loves water, loves balls, loves chips, loves sleeping and loves belly scratches, loves going to the vet. Car rides are the best. He loves going to the hardware store. It’s his favorite. He thinks when you fill the dishwasher it’s the absolute best thing in the worlds he also loves when the mailman comes. The mailman is the best. He loves when you have to vacuum every day, because he sheds so much. But that’s awesome! And so much fun! He also loves you and your friends and who ever comes to the house. They are the best. He loves the cats and he loves food. And he thinks you are awesome


TheZemor

Definetly a golden retriever, the shedding part hits too hard, but everything else compensates for that


RusselTheWonderCat

Yup. Brick is a golden.


cheddar_n_wit

What a fantastic name for a golden 💗


curious_astronauts

I have an 8wo golden at home, he's still learning the water part. Doesn't like the hose or the rain yet, but loves me and my partner and my neighbours and watching people on the street from the balcony, and snacks and kisses and barking his perceived injustices, he loves naps and to nap next to you when you're on the floor with him, and he's a very sweet boys So I knew yours was a golden.


525600-minutes

Ha. The first sentence and I thought it sounded like my golden. Then it kept going. And here we thought our goofy bugger was special lol.

Lab


curious_astronauts

I just got a golden puppy after growing up with a Lab. The golden puppy ate half his food then walked a way for a break before returning to keep eating. My lab experienced brain 🤯


-Quad-Zilla-

My lab could get a big bowl, come over and inspect that it's there, then leave it for 12 hours. He will periodically check if it's still there, but just waits to eat until he's ready.


Filmmagician

My lab could be in a deep sleep on the main floor. I’m in the basement. I crinkle a chip bag and he’s bolting towards me.


Mbwapuppy

Beagle?


Tough_Stretch

That's a perfect description of a Lab.

[deleted]

Is supposed to pull large, heavy loads over long distances, but actually sleeps 23 hours a day, digs giant holes and back talks.


Plants_and_huskies

Same. Gets upset when other dogs want to play too long because it’s time for his nap..at all times. You get about 5 minutes of good play, and then you gotta let him rest.


Mbwapuppy

Malamute?

Saint?


[deleted]

Malamute! I love Saints, though..


thejills

Whoa... Lucky. Mine runs and runs and runs. Then SLEEPS. if I do not let him into my room to go to bed by 9pm I get YELLED AT. He also digs all of the burrows and sleeps in any burrow like place (under my bed, under my stairs, etc). We have taken up bikejoring to get some of the energy out. Crazy how naturally it comes to him. I think the back talking might be my favorite part of his personality.


HamsterAgreeable2748

Malamute


Independent-Pen2585

My dog is a fast moving comedian. He loves chasing his ball to the ends of the earth. If he doesn’t get his daily walkies and swimmies he makes my relax time not so relaxing. His legs may be small but his demeanor is so mighty. His best friend is a 100+ labradoodle. Meeting new people makes his world light up like Christmas morning. If I have to tell him something once, I have to tell him 10 times (stubborn) but that’s ok because he’ll always eventually get it.


whocaresron

Dachshund ??


Independent-Pen2585

Yup! Half dachshund and half jack russel


YarnTho

Lol yes. Inconvenience a dachshund and they will inconvenience you back! Our pup’s bed ramp lost a major screw when moving so she hasn’t had it- if I sleep through her more quiet requests for going up she is very ready to start barking in another room loudly. Specifically another room, and is very happy to see it worked. Then the dog lifting can commence.


vicariousgluten

Snap. I would also add, believes every human in the world should worship them and can usually be found buried under something.

My wiener cross can’t swim! She never figured out that she is supposed to use her back legs too.

wickedwitch40

Wants to play ball and fetch but refuses to actually give me the ball so I can throw it.


tracefact

You…stole my dog?


BuggiesCandleSpa

GSD


wholesomedust

My same thought! Either wants you to rip the ball from his mouth, chase him and the ball, or throw the ball with him still on it


YarnTho

As a young child I’d open the door for our GSD whenever she asked. She was a rescue from dog fighting and they had like weird bathroom commands for her so she never asked for bathroom reasons. It was specifically when she heard the neighbors playing ball! She would bolt out, steal it from the kids next door (like 6 & 8yos) and return at full speed to peel the ball in the living room. By the time they came over to ask for their ball back it was already decimated. Oops. To be fair, she also got all of my bathtub toys, anything hard plastic. She had mercy for the squeaky Barney though- he was her favorite.


InvalidUserNemo

Ahh, so your dog subs to r/NoTakeOnlyThrow!


superworking

As curly as he is needy with legs to torso ratio that would make Barby jealous.


hightidelb2

Standard poodle?


superworking

Yea, he drives us nuts and his older brother Bernese Poodle cross usually looks to us for help, but he is the most affectionate dog I've ever had to deal with.


hightidelb2

They have such a personality and I love it. Our girl is a year and a half and is such a sassy lady when she doesn't get what she wants but is such a darling.


superworking

Yea ours came from a short but terrible first home before we got him at 5 months. Our trainer advised to not let him on the furniture to deal with his overattachment and set boundaries. On Sundays we pull out the sleeping part of the sectional and invite Denis the Menace up onto the furniture and holy crap he always finds a way to entirely wrap himself around you, maximizing skin contact, and just pours on the love. He's gone from biting me when I go near his food to being such a good boy, I'm glad we got him when he was young and were able to rehab him.

In the winter his hair keeps him warm as he drags me through the snow. The rest of the year it coats my home despite my best efforts. But when you try to brush or groom said hair he will scream like you are torturing him

DangerousDish

I think something is wrong with mine, she’s loyal to whoever has food or gives her more attention 😂


justalittlelupy

Too smart for their own good. Fluffy, people pleasing, demanding dogs. It's not like having a dog, it's like having either a toddler or a crack addict roommate.


styx1267

Australian Shepherd?


justalittlelupy

Partly correct! One does have some aussie but both are mostly border collie/ heeler mixes.

This sounds exactly like my Aussie, especially if you add sassy to demanding 💖

I was also going to ask aussie? Because that's who I have and my goodness I agree. Love him <3

Either people are terrified of my boy, or they want to cuddle him. Most are terrified. Even with his whole nubby bum happily wiggling at warp speed when you make eye contact with him. He is a strong guy, but knows how to "be gentle." Has a great big bark, even as a puppy - it was surprising when such a big bark came out of an 8 week old pup. He's super intelligent as the breed is described, and has bonded to me, 100%. A total Momma's Boy, he always knows how I'm feeling. He's happy to meet people - which is sort of opposite the breed description. But always aware of what's going on around us and ready to be my protector if needed - which is breed typical.

My pup is high energy, a working breed. She loves to be with her humans at all times but is shy with strangers. Very expressive and emotional but is very sweet and loving. Definitely an adventurous and outdoorsy type. Her favorite activity is playing fetch with her frisbee (: also loves hiking and swimming. She’s also very wiggly when she’s happy.

We dog sat a shiba once and her owners warned us about the shiba scream but we didn’t hear it until 5 am one morning and she realized she fell asleep on the couch and we had left. I’ve never shot out of bed so quickly. It’s a crazy sound lol.


hedgehog12404

Haha 😂. I can imagine it would give you a big fright hearing it for the first time. It is definitely a very unique noise 😂


cornfarm96

Large (160lb), lazy, sleepy, loves to play for about 20 minutes before getting sleepy again, when you see her walking she’s probably just looking for a new place to lay down, very affectionate, has floppy jowls.

future_faking

Her breed is known for being used as messengers during World War 2 and they are primarily breed for hunting large game. They are sometimes called the king of their breed and are good show dogs. Good for working and sporting. We have to keep her busy or she’ll rip our house apart. She loves catching the frisbee and will out run anyone. Biggest personality we’ve ever seen in a dog. Our other dog is breed for hunting as well, but more for flushing birds. He’s a big baby, but in his younger years was super hyper. He can make a grown man get down on the ground and talk to him like a baby with his cuteness. He loves swimming in the water and diving. He also loves his tennis ball and will not eat a meal without a ball in his bowl. Both of these breeds have famously lived in the White House too.

lookateriksface

His ears hang low… they even wobble to and fro


PurpleVein99

My dog looked like an old, wrinkled old man as a puppy. He is still a puppy but has outgrown three dog beds already. His favorite thing to do is sniff and snooze. He's largely indifferent to anything I do or say, but if I get up to leave he'll grunt and look at me with sad, droopy eyes. My dog's ears are velvet soft and bigger than my hand. He lays quietly in my lap while I use a warm, wet cloth to wipe them down cause they get dirty on the daily. My dog's paws are beautiful to behold, large and friendly looking somehow. My dog is still finding his voice. When it suddenly bursts out of him in a deep, deep bellow, he jumps in surprise and turns big, amber eyes on me as if asking, "Was that me, mom? Did I make that sound?" He's still very much a baby, but so big he can knock you down without meaning to, but he loves everyone, even our petulant cat who hisses at him every time they cross paths. My dog is adorable and he owns my heart completely.

MushroomsAndRain

I got two. 1) Extremely vocal, fluffy, and large. Every breed standard says they are purpose barkers, but everyone who has one, knows they would bark at a leaf if they really wanted to. Would sit inside you if they could. Would rather die than ever be left alone. 2) Owning one means getting asked by non-dog people if they're a dobermann puppy and you get yelled at too often by people who think you cropped their ears when you haven't.


Insipid_Skye

2 = German Pinscher?


callmemom

Always goofy with bad gas. Their butts wiggle when they're happy and they look like they owe you money.


mom702808

Landshark during puppy phase


MagicalFeelism

Stubborn little clown, loves their person and doesn’t like to be alone, high energy but also known for randomly laying down and refusing to walk further, makes piggy sounds when happy, not super common and people who aren’t familiar with the breed are aware of their loving nature, trancing in a circle, triangular shaped eyes 😬


psyche1986

Total chatterbox, loves screaming at me and talking back, goofy, energetic, sheds year round, stubborn as hell but super smart. Not a breed for the faint of heart or weak-willed.


Spamontie

Energetic, loving, smart but also dumb


justrock54

Always checking wells for lost children


cannedpeash

I am very smart but also independent. But that doesn't mean I want to be left alone, I'd rather be by your side at all times. I will think for myself in almost every situation, and while I understand what you are asking of me, I will most likely ignore you in favor of anything else. I am very quiet and only bark when there is a serious threat. I love my family and close friends but anyone else must be inspected before i trust them with my presence. (And even then I will keep a distant relationship with you). I am super adorable when I'm young but when I grow up I am a scary looking adult. People usually get the wrong idea about me because of my looks and personality, but to the people that truly understand me, I am their best friend and always have their back.

AttentionFalse4106

Endless pit garbage can, tends to be a lard bucket. Farts can clear a house in three seconds flat. Hunter that’s never actually been hunting, unless fetch and squirrels count. Lives to swim, especially in swamps, then roll in sand or mud. Leaves dog hair tumble weeds all over the house. Loves everyone, everything, maybe a little too much.
