Topic: What's your favorite dog breed? 8

That's kinda weird, I've only ever seen a dalmation in a movie, or a picture, never seen one up close. I hear that they are more aggressive, yet you always see them pictured with the little boys red fire engine...

mine wasn't that agressive. He'd bark at intruders and generally raise a ruckus, but he wasn't vicious.

here's one picture of him, taken during the mid to late '90s.

Looks like he is waiting for the moment to strike out at your throat to me!

(Seriously though, pretty dog).

philam15 · August 5th, 2007

awww hes handsome!! wish I could have one, but I've never even seen one up close!

anyone ever actually had a poodle, I mean come on they're not bad dogs!!

If anyone who has a french poodle in here on Milforum should be out of here.

Just kidding.

Nah, my dal isn't that aggressive but selfish, horny, and good dog.

The Other Guy · August 5th, 2007

Yep, strange but true.

P.S. I have never owned either breed and don't find my favourite on the list either, the Kelpie. They are not for everyone, basically a "working dog, very energetic, intelligent, alert, and will run all day and come back for more.

Hey, bud, I know how to Google. That wasn't my question. This is a military site, right? Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Dobermans are all MWDs (Military Working Dogs) yet NONE of them are on this list. Poodles can be as smart as you say but I don't see any of them used by the military. Oh and btw, ANY dog not trained is "brainless". It's not something unique to Shepherds.
