Cats or Dogs? Which do you prefer?

[bloodzombie]

Also, for christ's sakes don't go buy a pure bred dog off a breeder of any sort. Regardless of what people say, there is no such thing as a "respectable breeder" anymore. Every pure bred dog is so fucking inbred that it's sickening. Your best bets for a good temperment and smarter dog is to adopt a mixed puppy that nobody wants, that has a good look to it, and give it a good healthy upraising. .

I don't know if sarien's right about the breeders or not, but I do agree that it's better to adopt a dog that nobody else wants. it's way cheaper and if you get a dog at a breeder, that's one more dog that will die at the humane society.

i got 2 dogs. they are good for some great laughs. living with a cat would be like having pallies continually coming over to my house and staying there for weeks on end.

I have two dogs, both German Shepard - Lab mixes.
I have four or five cats, all outdoor cats, they're pretty cool. If you go for a cat, pick a long haired one. They're sooo cute and cuddly. We have a long hair that was a stray and he's so adorable. He's deaf though
And I have 20 or so chickens.

Do you live in the country panda?

Cat's.... They less maintenance, easier to look after, you get more satisfaction out of them because you actually have to TRY to get them to like you whereas dogs just give unconditional love unless they're mistreated.

Dogs need walking-need attention constantly-whine everytime you get 5 metres away-annoy you when you're trying to watch t.v

Cats can just cuddle up and fall asleep...
The only dog i'd suggest buying is the affenpinscher - but they cost lots... they're fearless too.. i saw one kick a dobermans ass once and they're smaller than my cats lol

Affenpinscher


One more thing... Cats generally don't leave fur absolutely everywhere either... and don't eat as much and groom themselves.

lol Can't say enough about cats hehe

As a cat get an American Wirehair or bobtail... see Here for more info i have 3 bobtails :wub:

How I spent my summer vacation



Goats are basically the ideal pet if you live in climes hospitable to them. They're very playful and way more interesting than telling someone about your goldfish.

Edit: not me in the picture, but that is our goat

[Twerp]

To me, that picture looks fake. Wouldn't the back feet be down more because it would have to touch the ground?

[StarKitty]

I think the goat is standing on the bucket and the person is right on the edge of it...

Goats are playful? I think goats look like they're eyeing you up to see how fast you'll run when they try head butting you... lol
I had no idea they were playful lol :wub:

[Pandagirl!]

Goats are playful actually. I don't like them personally because I've had bad experiences with them *shudder*. But Pygmy goats are cute, and I don't mind them. It's just the big ones.

[Verthanthi]

Same barrell, same girl, same goat, different day, looks less faked.


Goats are very playful. When ours would headbutt us, it was never with a running start. Mostly they just tried to push us off their barrells. If you ran, they'd chase after you, but dodge before they hit you. They love climbing on you, too.

Dalmations are so inbred that basically now out of every litter born there's about a 50/50 chance for each puppy of being deaf.

Pure Bred Labradors (Mine is Chocolate/Black and so not a purebred), are inbred to the point where genetic bone disorders like hip dysplaysia are pretty rampant. Even though mine isn't a purebred I still had to worry about him until he hit 2 years old.

Two examples among many.
If you get a dog, adopt it. The only way on earth that the people that inbreed these dogs will get the message is if people stop buying them.

hip dysplasia is a problem in almost every big dog though, isn't it? or is it just every kind of purebred big dog (except greyhounds)?
