I'm thinking about adopting a dog (1155 views)

  •  » quote
  • Over the past few months I have recognized I need a companion much more than a significant other at this point in my life. Can anyone recommend any good breeds or breeders that would be suited for a two bedroom apartment?
  •  » quote
  • nope. don't adopt a breeder.
  •  » quote
  • Fuck a breeder, adopt from a rescue. The people at the rescue will talk you through which one will be right for you. Dogs are also chick magnets

    yes, they certainly can be. But there are those times where the girl is so preoccupied with how cute your dog is, it's as if there isn't even a person with a leash attached to it. So be prepared for that one Chris, especially if they look up and your giving the 'ol deer in the headlights because there's a vagina 3 feet from you.

  • After a few days of research I'm thinking a puggle might be my best option. I know the name is stupid but they seem like very affectionate dogs that would work with my living situation and energy level. My only worry is that they carry the Beagles howling and hunting traits. Is there a way to train this characteristic out of them?
  •  » quote
  • so you're going to disregard all the advice about getting an animal from a shelter?
  •  » quote
  • a puggle? Jesus christ you fucking herb, there's no hope for you

  • I would try to find one in a shelter before purchasing one from a breeder.

    What is wrong with a puggle?

    The short answer is no. A lot of these breeds were never meant to go together. It's never certain what traits you're going to get from either breed (for example labradoodles are not always hypoallergenic because some inherit the lab coat). If you really want a puggle spend some time in shelters - you can find mixes there. Often pug or beagle rescue groups rescue mixes too if they're partly that breed.
  •  » quote
  • Beagles are awful apartment dogs because of the barking and howling, and then you get the eye and sinus problems of a pug. Sounds like a dream.

    Pet-Lovers to Mingle at Manhattan 'Yappy Hour'


    NEW YORK (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- "Meet the Parents.'' Check!

    "Meet the Pets?'' One expert says that's just as important when finding a mate.

    Prospective lovers -- and pet-lovers in general -- will mingle Tuesday evening during a pre-Valentine benefit at a Manhattan hotel.

    Wendy Diamond, author of "It's A Dog's World,'' created "Yappy Hour'' in 2001. The singles parties for people and dogs raise awareness for animal rescue.

    No dog date? No worries. You can "rent'' a canine escort for a donation.

    Diamond also has tips for wooing a pet lover. For instance: Bring a squeaky toy along with the wine or flowers.

    Make eye contact with your date -- but not with the pet. Some animals consider that a threat.
