Why should I adopt instead of purchase from a Breeder? Not a puppy mill, a Breeder.
>>2060458
Because worms are treatable. Genetic ailments caused by inbreeding aren't. Besides, there are impossibly huge numbers of nice doggos looking for a home.

Should I get a younger one to avoid behavior problems that the older ones might already have?
>>2060461
I dunno, I bought my Great Pyr from a farm where his parents were working dogs and he's probably the best dog I've ever had.

Read it and weep, the Giant Enemy Crab!
Largest of any known crab species, attack it's weak point for massive damage!
Why do people breed ugly pets?
Novelty.
Those show line breeders are the worst people. All the bullshit excuses they make deserve a slap in the face.
People should stop breeding pets entirely.

I like that tunnel leading in to the house. Pretty neat.
>>2062026
I let my cat outside. She's brought back 2 bats, 6 chipmunks, 1 baby weasel, and countless birds this past week alone. Get rekt Mother Nature and you cat raping homos.

how come we don't call this the long mammal general anymore? ;-;
>>2021081
I suppose we could; it's not like there's many posters for mustelid general anyway. I've only started the last few because whoever did it before had stopped.
But I don't have one yet
I just steal images of other people's and have been reading about them for two years
Because there isn't a proper cat general thread on /an/ at the moment
>>2038733
why are cats so gross?
and why do cat people say they're clean when they are no clean at all?
>>2038740
We can keep this going forever
Anything and Everythign related to dogs here.
They should make the chuck it toys completely edible, so when your done playing with your dog, you can hand them the toy and put the ball up.
I found a regular chuck it for $2, I wouldn't mind spending a few extra bucks for an edible one, especially if it was similar to a bully stick in that it's going to take them a while to chew through it.
>how often are you taking the dog out and introducing it to new things? Also have you started basic training of it (sit, stay, come)?
I answered in previous thread. But I'll answer again and add on to it
I take him out every 30 minutes/hour. I introduce him to as many things as i can. Ove introduced him to my family, her family. 3 dogs so far, a bunch of cats. Trying to teach him to climb and descend stairs but no luck yet. Today he only had one accident in the house. His poop is a little runny from switching over to a new food....

That's a great idea. Do they make an edible option? If not you should try writing to companies. Tell them to give you money also
>>2056014
Just keep in mind that he's going to need something to do while he's maturing/after he becomes an adult. If you don't give him something to do he will find something to do, and it will be destructive.
Also now's a good time to just take him around town introducing him to people/friendly dogs of all sizes on leash
Do you hate cats? Do you like cats? If so, explain why.
I like having cats because they give no fucks, and a honey badger would wreck my house.
I like cats because they are cute and cuddly. In fact, I'm cuddling with one right now.
is your doggo cuter than this doggo
>>2045626
baby doggo
Everyone's always going to be biased towards their own dogs.
I personally think Kobi is best doggo.
>>2045626
yes.
