i want to fill my emptyness and loneliness by getting a dog
what are some /fit/ dogs?
I'm terrified of guard dogs like shar-pei and fighter dogs like pitbulls, but I'd be open to them as long as it's easy to train to be sociable
Huskies are bro tier. But require lots of time.
>>37143825
I have a husky and I do not recommend you get one unless you 100% know and can handle the responsibility of basically having a 2 year old for 15 years
>>37143825
My Sibe is in his Twilight years, he can barely walk a few Kms and falls over a lot. I'm going to go hug him
>>37143847
Yes, Extremely high maintenance
Collies, they are among the best in agility contests, intelligent and easy to train
get a Labrador retriever , easy to train have good health will run with you adventurous, love the outdoors low maintenance naturally friendly
Collies are the smartest dogs their are. And difficult to train. Get a lab or retriever.
>>37143825
Labs, bro
Pic related. Can run as long as me and then some, is extremely sociable to everyone we meet including children and strangers, and has been cakewalk-level maintenence from 8 months on.
I feed him, take him out, run with him, and let him sleep in my bed. That's all he needs.
>>37143825
I have a Boston terrier and he's pretty sweet and funny. He likes hiking and medium runs (5k-10k) and he's really affectionate. He's a bit high strung, which I'm told is a breed trait, but he's pretty sociable and happy in general.
Border Terriers are the king of dogs
German Shepherd are goat tier but can be prone to health issues as they age
>>37143904
Pussy magnets I swear.
You're feeding him veggies, brown rice and ground turkey right?
>>37143978
I usually just feed him the higher end stuff from the pet shop, but I could try it out.
>>>/an/
nigga get a dog with a fucking personality that would suit yours
and go to the fuckin kennel
>>37143894

>>37144069
>>37143825
Got myself an Alaskan Malamute, wouldn't swap that guy for anything. Insanely loyal, adorable and he is really intimidating when something pisses him off.
They require a lot of walking though, in the Winter I usually go for 2-3 long walks round the countryside in my area. In the Summer hes much more docile due to the heat. Its also a pain in the ass because every fucking child takes the opportunity to chase and grab him like hes some sort of teddy bear. Grinds my gears. He makes a great therapy dog too, can tell when me or a bro/my partner is in a sorry mood, he'll dote on you until you cheer the fuck up.
This didn't really answer your question but hes very socialable and a great dog as long as you're willing to put in the dedication for long walks.
how do you train dogs? don't want dogs barking a lot, running away or urinating/defecating indoors
how do you deal with shedding hairs?
>>37143876
And will literally destroy everything you love if you dont get it 5hrs of exercise every day
Good luck having a 6 year old for the next 15 years.
If you want a companion id get a Weimaraner. They easy to train and are called Velcro dogs
>>37144140
And having to find pet friendly rentals that will charge, often non refundable, hundreds of dollars extra of deposits. If you don't own your place, and you must enslave yourself to this creature for 15 years, get a small dog. You may feel less manly but girls don't give a shit and will most likely find them cuter.
>>37144140

>>37143904
My lab bro. Just turned 2 and the amount of pussy I get in life has increased 300% plus awesome swimming buddy.

>>37144161
My pup is a pitbull/weim mix and its the best dog ive ever had. Knows how to high five, sit, stay, hunt (she corners and grabs coons and rabbits and waits for my command on what to do) will sound like a gargoyle when theres danger but actually loves meeting new people. Never leaves my side off leash without looking back to see if im still there following her
i want to get a black german shepherd
if not, then a regular german shepherd
what do you think, /fit/? are they dogbro tier?
And do you travel at all? If you do, what are you gonna do with the dog? Can you bring him with you? Do you WANT to bring him with? And have to take care of him while you are supposed to be on vacation? If you don't bring him with, do you have someone to watch him? Are you going to board him? How much does boarding cost in your area? Where I live bottom dollar boarding costs about $22 per night per dog,and that is with most simple care. If you want more walks, treats, play time that usually costs extra. Average prices for boarding here though is closer to $30 a night, still with basic care. Can you afford that? Can you even afford good food? Are you gonna buy cheap food from Walmart which contains shitty and non nutritious food? Basically life feeding your dog chicken nuggets and hotdogs (as compared to human child) for the rest of its life? Can you afford food of higher quality for this animal which depends completely on you to feed and take care of it?
>>37144295
Really high strung and talkative. They're prone to back and hip problems and get really bad anxiety if improperly trained. They dont like other people and tend to be very standoffish around anyone that isnt you. Be aware of nearby children when you have an untrained Shepherd.
Are you gonna get a puppy? Are you going to train it yourself? Do you have knowledge on how to train it to come, stay, walk on a leash, be non aggressive/protective towards other dogs?
OP dogs are lifetime responsibility, not a fun little toy that will walk beside you and be your friend. I found out way too late I am NOT a dog person. Once mine go, I am never, NEVER, getting any pets ever again. Not even a cat. Living free of these responsibilities is much better.
Corgis are bros. They're also laughably /fit/ and active dogs since they were bred to herd cattle. They're basically big dogs that are cut off to half size so cows don't kick them in the face.
>>37143825
How do you guys have a full time job and have a dog at the same time?
Is it possible?
Assuming you are single.
>>37144340
I was thinking of getting a swiss shepherd i heard the opposite what do you think though.
>>37143825
You can't go wrong with a Lab. They are extremely intelligent, loyal, and can be very athletic and fun to take outdoors.
>>37144124
Where they're pups they will poop indoors, you put paper down and stuff. Everytime they do, you take them outside. Doesn't take them long to learn to do it outside instead, generally dogs don't want to shit where they sleep anyway unless given no option. As for behaviour like barking you just have to be firm, dogs are smart, they understand when you don't want them doing something most of the time. So you have to be the 'Alpha' of the pack to they actually listen to you when you don't want them to do something. Eventually their general behaviour follows suit.
If you don't want lots of hairs you get a dog thats hair grows longer instead of sheds, but you need to take them to groomers or learn to groom them yourself instead. Problem is a lot of these dog breeds have reputation of being old lader / gay dogs like west highland terriers (scotty dogs)
>>37144385
I only work like 30 hrs a week and make about 1,200 a month, its pretty easy to take care of a grown ass dog thats properly trained. Getting up to that point of ease was a nightmare though. I had to lock her in a cage for the first year of her life. Potty training was easy but it isnt for every dog. USE A CAGE! Cage or 'Crate' training is essential for a house dog.
>>37144354
>feel when a friend of yours who has never had a dog in their life or any experience of one wants to get a dog
>they pick a really complicated breed because they think it looks nice

POINTER
My pointer, who I got when he was 3-4 years old, is the best behaved dog I've ever met. He is a total bro. He's an incredible guard dog and very intelligent. Apparently he has outstanding vision, hearing, and smelling, according to my vet and a friend who hunts, but I don't hunt so it's kind of useless aside from being good for guard dogging.
If you have no experience with dogs, get a lab or retriever. Any other dog will wreck your shit, bark all the time, or drag your around the block on a leash.
Labs/Retrievers can be trained by even the most retarded asshole.
But most importantly, learn what the fuck you're doing before getting any dog. Books are largely useless but they'll give you an idea of what to do. Make sure there are puppy training classes in your area too, or at least a dog park where you can talk to people about what to do.
Any dog is a /fit/ dog as long as you don't fuck it up. So know what the fuck you're doing before you become another one of the 100,000 fuck ups who puts up a dog for adoption when it's one year old because "it's not cute anymore and doesn't listen"
>>37144298
>If you want more walks, treats, play time that usually costs extra
Enjoy getting ripped off all the time, fuckboi. A real kennel doesn't do that shit
>>37144554
>Any dog is a /fit/ dog as long as you don't fuck it up.

>>37144793
Get one without the ridge its cheaper and the ones with the ridge might cost you thousands of dollars if its been improperly bred and the complications go unchecked . Dat dermoid sinus infection
>>37144836
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? TAKE OUT THE RIDGE?!!
Dude Ive never heard of this why is this necessary? Pls delete pic.
>>37144855
Uh, no. Stop being dumb. Some are born with a genetic flaw and need spinal surgery. The hair grows back after the spinal surgery to fix it, retard. And some are born without the ridge and have regular fur without any problems.
>>37144673
My friends family had a beagle they should have put down at one point. Even in pain and in misery it would still get up to harass and steal other dogs food and treats
>>37144897
So hold on the ridge is a genetic flaw? I didnt think the ridge was a big deal I wouldve gotten one with or without. Shit now you have me thinking.
>>37144925
Nah, only some get the flaw. Its somewhat rare but theres always a chance if you get from the wrong breeder.

I can tell you English Bulldogs are not fit dogs. My dog won't even take walks. Last time I tried he choked himself so much trying force himself back home he puked. I've given up after that. He gets okay exercise from running around the lawn. Good dog for lazy people, or people without much space.
>>37143825
Any working dog or shepherd
>>37145677
English Bulldogs have the same breathing problems as pugs, right? Maybe that's why they can't exercise for too long.
Working dogs and herding dogs are the best types you can get
Don't get a border collie unless you want a dog autist
Regular collies are great though
>>37145677
Dunno if i could bring myself to get a bulldog, their lives just look like suffering because of the breeding they have been put through.
I would really like to see some crosses with staffies or something, keep some similiar cute characteristics while getting rid of some of the terrible health problems.
>>37143825
Goldens are loyal and have unlimited energy, but you have to hit them hard with training because they like to chew on everything and everyone. They are exactly like children until about 3 years old
>>37145907
end up with something like this
cute huh
>>37143825
go to a rescue and get a dog that's seen the world.

Get a fucking mutt from the pound that looks like he'll be a good dog. They won't have as many health issues, and if it's a puppy, it won't have behavioral ones. (Not to discount old dogs, they're bros too)

>>37146112
I'm sorry bro. Dogbros are amazing, but also heartbreaking. Their loyalty is truly unwavering.
I got this guy when I was 18. 9 years later now and he's still the nicest dog I've ever met. He's very intelligent and therefore is great with other dogs because he's very good at reading them.
Also he's still the best and the most motivating running partner I could ask for.
OP if you have the time and energy to run with your dog every day, or at least make sure that the dog gets to run, I'd recommend a husky. They're amazing dogs, they have a very different personality and are smarter than a lot of other other dog breeds.

My dog is a black lab / blue heeler (aka Aussie sheep dog). He's a menace. I love him, but he barks at EVERYONE. I can't take him out without him accosting someone on the sidewalk, other dogs, cars, cripples, children, minorities. Basically he's a bro.
>>37143825

>>37145677
English Bulldogs and pugs are smushed face dogs, not very active. Basically fat people. They have sleep apnea, could choke to death sleeping, heart conditions, and they fart constantly.

Here's my dogbro. Best bro I've ever had!
>>37143825
Get an Alsatian, long haired or short haired depending on your climate.
It's the aryan dog, dude.
Greater Swiss Mountain, aka velcro dog... be prepared for a bro dog that demands nothing but your attention. Toys - not interested, other animals - no fucks given. This dog absolutely loves humans. Very gentle but intimidating looking --he will eat everything. Hope you have room, and a schedule to be his bro.
Dont be that cocksucker who gets a dog and then chains it to a tree for 12 hours a day.
My girlfriend and I are considering a rhodesian ridgeback .. we live in an apartment but between us the dog will only be left along for about 4 hours.. will keep it and us active. .. and they are very striking.
When we have a larger property though the idea and dream dog is a leonberger. They have awesome breeding and for a big dog have very few health complaints. I think they are truly /fit/ because they are heavy and strong water dogs... they do everything and will follow you anywhere. Sexually dimorphic where the males have huge manes and get very very heavy. Some reach around 80kg/185lb.
OP.. get a have a heart trap and catch a racoon down by a trash dump. They are so chill. They got a bad rep from normies who get cats and dogs.
>>37143825
Labrador/German Shepherd cross. Extremely loyal, good as a guard dog as well, easy to train, still works as a chick magnet. You can't see the GS much except he has a black stripe across his back in his summer coat, and is bulkier than a lab.
He's just turned 8 so is sleepy as balls all the time now though. Thankfully his legs are still fine.

Argument could be made that a dogs mentality is much healthier regarding relationships
Your dog loves you, keeps you company and cheers you up
Why is it wrong to think "real" relationships should work like this?
>>37148380
because real humans don't love unconditionally (i.e. full on instinct, no personality, no depth) unless they are severely damaged
>>37148387
>because real humans don't love unconditionally
I do senpai, just have to find a grill now
>>37148387
You also don't fuck your dog and get blackout drunk with it... hopefully. If your problem is that the dog lied to you about how relationships work then you have deeper problems than a dog.
A dog is a companion. They are not a person.
The same argument could be made for cats as well. They're cold and you have to feed them and clean up their shit. Although...
Either way it's retarded. If you can't seperate animal from person no matter how much pleasure they give you then you're a fucking moron.
Dogs aren't supposed to teach you about human relationships and they don't need to be relevant to how humans react to stifle crippling loneliness. They just need to be a dog.
Also I hope op doesn't fuck his dog.
>>37148387
Im not sure youve ever owned a dog but that definetly isnt true that they love you unconditionally
Dogs have personality aswell as humans but they interact diffrently with us than other humans do
Is it wrong to think a gf for instance should love me, keep me company and cheer me up when im feeling down?
>>37144651

german shepherd is easiest to train I heard.
My gf has one, it's really energetic and chewes on everything.
Everytime that dog sees me, it's so happy it pisses itself.
But do you live in a house or an apartment? Because dogs bigger than a rat will feel bad in a small apartment.
My first dog was a collie, I miss him almost every day.
My lab eats so much shit. Every time i go outside he has to wear a muzzle or he'll barf all over the place.

If you're Australian most of them are descended from a particularly well nature line and because of quarantine there is little aggressive blood getting in

half hour run plus hours and hours of stimulation. these are intelligent dogs, they will get bored and destroy your shit
>>37149653
Dunno about collies, but my German Shepard is pretty easy to train because of his intelligence. He knows what I want him to do/not to do. Unfortunately he's also a jackass, and likes to spend his time wrestling, playing chase, and chilling after a game of chase/wrestling. I dunno where you're pulling this 5 hour nonsense. He needs more like two active hours, and then some chill time.

Are these the dogs that kill wolves to protect sheep?
>>37150125
wolves are no problem. they attack bears.
English Springer Spaniel.
Get a white GSD (or just White Shepherd Dog)
They own like German Shepherds but are less inbred because they're not recognized by most kennel clubs *as* GSDs and therefore aren't bred to have retarded hips.
Well OP I can give you input on the dogs I've had so far.
Golden retriever one of the sweetest and smartest dogs I've ever owned. They act a lot like labs imo... I've had one
Jack Russell terrier. These mfs are energetic as fuck and they are insanely good hunting dogs if you train them right. I've had two. Pretty small so you can keep them inside but you need to give them exercise or they will destroy shit on an insane level.
Catahoula Dogg. It looks like a pit bull and acts like a pit bull but on a slightly bigger level. They're not as energetic as most dogs but they are powerful and would make a good guard dog. Pretty loving but you gotta give them time. They were bred as hunting dogs.
Red/blue healer. Smart as fuck and energetic. Easy to train. Fairly small. You could probably keep it inside but just like the jack russel it needs to get some exercise. I love my red healer
>>37150910
Oh and also, golden retrievers are loyal just as labs are. They love everyone. I've never seen my golden retriever be aggressive to anyone or anything. I miss her :^(
And OP, if you can, get a dog from the pound or shelter. All my dogs from the past have been from the shelter and I've loved all of them
Well I have a pitbull and he's cute and a lil bit annoying, but I like him. Just treat doge well, and let your familia/friends touch and play with it while he/she a puppy, just in case. No, he's not agressive, but a strong dog tho.

why are u on /fit/ again?
>>37143825
Got a nice pair of huskingtons myself, they're quiet until they want something.
only correct answer
Border Collie/German Shepard mix is the perfect dog.
Smart, easy to train, athletic, loyal, good size, communicative, non-destructive. 10/10 dogs.
>>37144295
My shepherd is totally awesome. When he was young we would knock out a 5k easy. He's ten years old now and can't do a mile before he's done but no hip problems. I got lucky there. Probably better /fit/ dogs but no better overall dog.
I would recommend a Mutt, They tend to have less health or behaviour issues (In my experience at least) Pic related the last Doggo I ever loved. Somebody tried to drown him as a pup. Collie X something
>>37151598
wow
>>37151598
Shiba inus are cute af
I hear they're hard to train though
>>37152169
Shepard's are pretty awesome.
>>37143825
American bulldogs are pretty badass. Athletic, decently smart, loyal, and feiendly. Some health issues later on in life though.
Anyone have a Gerberian Shepsky?
That's the dog I want for when I live alone.
>>37146165
My uncle has one, the are playfull and pretty calm, his one is dumb as rock tho. For the heat, summers get to 38° here and it can stand it
For all the people recommending Greyhounds, you'd be better off recommending a cat. Greyhounds are so lazy and stupid they basically are hardly worth while if you really want a dog, unless you want a pet that is basically a more needy version of a cat.

oh fuck dude
>>37149566
a rotweiler literally killed a child a week ago in greece
German Shepherd is my favourite.
My family used to have two of them and they both were my best friends. They are also pretty intelligent.
>>37151598
Akitas are cooler. Too bad both it and Shiba Inus are a menace to train, and Akitas are notoriously aggressive.
>>37152964
Fug, what a beautiful creature.
>>37143825
get a pound puppy bro
>>37144135
>>37143876
Yeah Collies need a lot of stimulation/attention, but if you're srsly >forever alone status thats kinda a plus. It's a dog that will seriously bond with you, and if you are just lonely, not an asshole, getting a collie is awesome, it will be your best friend.
>>37152964
A tiger-striped Akita is the best dog in the world to hunt bear with.
>>37145635
Newfoundlands are just biggee better furrier labs tb.h
>>37143825
samoyed best dog friendo, had a couple of these, and if im ever getting another dog it'll be a samoyed or something close for sure
if you're a red blooded american;
there is only one choice
>>37143825
You're better off getting advice from >>>/an/.
Get a corgi.

dogs are only cool when they're used for something, like shepherd dogs, firefighter dogs, blind dogs. Not retarded creatures bred to look cute and please females
>>37143825
White shepherds
dachshunds are qt and fiercely loyal, only downside is they get winded quickly and bark like little bastards
>tfw my childhood purebred dachsund I raised as a puppy died my senior year in college, and the place I live now doesn't allow pets
I J-just want something warm to lay with me in bed at night
>>37143825
Beagles are the easiest type of dog to train. But some more alpha dogs are obviously, German Shepard, mastiff, Great Dane, any lab. Corgis are the dog of England's queen, so not very alpha.
The most alpha dogs are mutts though, because they have to try the hardest to get recognized in the dog world. So go adopt a ballin dog from your local pound so that an adorable animal doesn't get put to death just so you can get a name brand dog from a breeder who makes thousands forcing purebred animals fuck each other.
Sorry, I didn't realize I had so much emotion on the topic. But I have a mutt and she's cute as fuck, pic related.
>>37155881
I don't know why my pics always flip sideways... God dammit
>>37152169

I miss my beagle, he passed away earlier this year at 11 years old. RIP Skippy :(

They were bred to haul hundreds of pounds of shit on a sled as part of a team. Thus they have tons of energy that needs to be worked out otherwise they get bored and depressive which in dogs manifests as eating/destroying things and pising/shifting everywhere. Plus they are pack based and really need the owner to be a strong leader or they'll do what they want.
They're working dogs, they're bred for a purpose.
>>37157501
It's a meme, they're actually like giant cats but get hyper if you don't run with them.
This is /fit/ so that shouldn't be a problem.
I suppose they're high maintenance compared to pugs...
>>37148046
Not him but if I lived up in north I'd totally get a Berner.
/fit true choice

What mix is the white one? Husky from the eyes, at least.
Also what's with the legs of the handsome one on the left?
>>37158059
>It's a meme, they're actually like giant cats but get hyper if you don't run with them.
Since when does /fit/ run?
cardio kills your muscles, so i even avoid walking.
I also vote for Jack Russell. Active. Tonnes of personality. Cute as fug when they are puppies.

Oh unless you mean the toy, lol, it's some stupid squid thing.
>>37158724
Oh. Cute. Chocolate labs are a handsome dog
My bitch. Black german sheppard. She likes to cuddle but is also a good guard dog, but wouldn't harm a Child. I've neighbours so that would be a bad thing. I often let their kids give her commands and treats.
