re: Best dog you've ever owned

Believe it or not, it was a pug. We got it for my son when he was 3. Her name was Carley. She was the most chill dog I’ve ever met, which as anyone who knows much about pugs is an anomaly. Rarely barked. Loved everyone. 100% housebroken with ease. When she wanted to go out, she’d sit by the back door. She’s go out, do her business, then come right back. And she was a great companion for my son. They grew up together. Anytime he’d go outside with his friends, she’d tag along. They’d spend all day outside in the neighborhood with my son and his friends. They all loved her. She lived a good 14 years.

Corgi for sure

Every Heeler I’ve ever had basically understood English by about year 5. They are so smart.

Mine is 3 now, and it's amazing how she's able to respond correctly to words, gestures, and even subtle facial expressions, with almost no training. Her comprehension of human communication is every bit as thorough, and oftentimes almost eerie, as the two German Shepherds I've had previously. I've barely had to train her at all and she's as well behaved and responsive to commands as many dogs that have been through formal obedience training. She just seems to understand what you want her to do.

German shepherds. Had three- all three were rescues and they were all awesome.

Oh GFY.. it was a fricking joke you limp wristed pussy . I do have Frenchie currently and she is literally the strangest animal I've ever had wild personality, a motor that won't shut off snores and can clear a room.. So I stand by what I said..

The beagle/dachshund mix currently sleeping on my lap.

She's been mine for 8 years, and at some points has kept me grounded through some tough times.

Smart, and a quick learner, she has an uncanny knack for detecting illness and a love for fried chicken.

I thought my Catahoula/Shepard mix would always be #1. Took me 5 years until I rescued my Catahoula/Pit mix I have now. This dog is clearly #1. Sweet, great with kids, great on a leash, potty-trained, and never barks. Never even had to get on to her.

We have a yellow british lab. He's 13 (almost 14). We got him when he was just shy of 4mths. I started training him immediately. At a year old he had hand signals down. He was one of the best duck dogs I've hunted with.

He was very, very protective of my wife and kids.

He's old and we won't have him much longer and it will crush me when it's his time but he has been the best dog I've ever had.

Saw a saying last night that said something along the lines of: You don't have your whole life with a dog but a dog has his whole life with you and he only knows that love that you give him.

I've had some great dogs, my lab/golden mix was amazing.

Currently we have a Havanese. Pretty much the most amazing dog. Sleeps on my shoulders on the couch, craves attention, and super fun.

I'd definitely get another.
