To Bas, if you want to get a huge dog (100+ lbs), get a Bernese Mountain Dog. They're gorgeous, and depending on how you raise them, they can be a lot of fun too.



I was talking to a guy the other day while walking my dog, and he said his was about 8 months old and was already 90 pounds. He said they usually get up to around 130.


my mother has one and se has always regretted it. They smell horrible and need bathing constantly. It is 130 pounds and the only thing it does is shit, eat and stink.

Are you sure it wasn't a St. Bernard? Or are you sure it wasn't your actual mother that needed constant bathing and stank so much and not the dog?


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Feb-18-2011 17:13:

naw it is the dog that stinks for sure, we keep my mom outside so we would be able to tell.

There is no way to confuse a St Bernard with a Burmese. If you do, you don't know shit about dogs.


Posted by Halcyon+On+On on Feb-18-2011 17:13:

Come on. Jay's mom has to be well over 130lbs.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Feb-18-2011 17:14:

they don't make test tubes that big hal.


Posted by srussell0018 on Feb-18-2011 17:17:

I dunno, I only knew one person who had one of these before that guy the other day, and she loved it. I didn't notice any stank coming off the dog when I was walking the other day, but I was outside so maybe I just didn't notice it. Thing was massive though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it eats and shits a ton.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Feb-18-2011 17:26:

I had to go over and help her take it to the vet last week. As Burmese become older, they become very very very lazy. They also have a predisposition to an ear condition (forget the name) which makes them smell like ear wax big time....that and tartar build up which also smells.

We feel sorry for the animal, and she does the best she can to take care of it. She got stuck with this 140 lbs monster when my grandmother died, so now she has to ride it out. This is a type of dog that is good if you have a lot of room and a huge yard.

I'm dog sitting next week, i'll take a pic of its shit when i walk him...when you pick it up it has this unreal weight and smell to it, kinda like frenchie.

her other dog, albeit a bit retarded is awesome.



a wolf/huskie hybrid that she saved from being put down. It took 3 years before it would stop being a nervous cunt.

That sucks, her getting stuck with a dog that's becoming so unmanageable. I definitely believe what you say about the husky. Mine can be a bit crazy at times. My Grandfather is a vet, and he has been sending me different medications to try and get her to calm the fuck down. The most recent one was called Reconcile, which is meant for dog separation anxiety. It's seemed to work quite a bit. I'm not sure how much it costs, because since he owns a Vet practice and buys $100k of pharms every year from the pharmaceutical salesman, he throws him free flea medication, heartworm pills, etc for my dog.

The funny thing about the Reconcile, though, is that it's fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac). For the huskies, a lot of them can get anxious inside, so if you really want them to calm down, you just need to exercise the fuck out of them, which can be hard sometimes because they never get tired.

From what I've read, huskies are kind of in the middle of the road, intelligence wise, when it comes to dogs. Not overly smart, not overly stupid. I've definitely had some "wow, this dog is retarded" moments with her too. She's only one though, so it's hard to tell what is her being kind of a puppy still, and what's her being a bit crazy.

One of my friends had a great dane. He had to put it down after a couple of years because it got too damn aggressive towards other people... the last straw was when he answered the door and his dog pounced on some 10 year old girl selling girl scout cookies. A lawsuit waiting to happen.

It was so fucking huge, and would eat massive quantities of food and take huge shits like Jenny talked about. And he had a hell of a time keeping the beast off his bed. Not enough house or yard available either... it was just way too much of a hassle. He went all "impulse buy" when he got it thinking it would be cool to have a big ass dog, and essentially that decision not having been actually thought through ended up costing the dog its life.


Posted by srussell0018 on Feb-18-2011 17:51:

The only people who should have Great Danes should be Revolutionary War era British generals.


Posted by Zyklon_Jay on Feb-18-2011 17:52:

He was a sled dog that was essentially beaten and left outside for 2 years. Our family has been going to the same vet for 40 years, and he knows that we have a bleeding heart with this kind of stuff, as well as we have owned many different types of animals and have the room for them...so he asked my mother to take it in and she did.

The turn around in 3 years is pretty amazing. He went from a thin and starved animal to a beautiful healthy dog. The only thing with him is that he doesn't like men, and will sometimes hide from them. I suppose this is normal considering its past. He is cool with me, but still has its moments.

He is an awesome hunter...we find dead squirrels and gofers all over the yard.

yeah when buying a pet, all it takes is a little research. most breeds have pretty sustainable traits/characteristics. it's not like you don't know what you're getting yourself into when you get a certain kind of dog. i.e. "OMG I DIDN'T KNOW GREAT DANES GET THIS BIG " etc...etc... not ripping on great danes; but you should know what you're getting regardless of the breed.

i've always loved labradors. probably the best combination of friendliness (towards anyone), intelligence, character, obiedience (sp?), and health.

General Bas doesn't like to discuss the past much.

Yup, Huskies go nuts over any kind of small animal. Mine goes crazy over squirrels and rabbits that she sees when I walk her. How big is that one? It's hard to gauge how much Huskies weigh because they have so much damn hair.

The thing I like about them is that they're a good size dog, but still relatively light. Mine only weighs 40 lbs, so she's able to move like a smaller dog. Huge dogs like Danes can be pretty boring just lumbering around all the time.

It also sounds like that one might be an Alaskan Husky? Siberians are meant to be pets, and Alaskans are bred to be sled dogs, and are often not great pets when you try to convert them. As for it being left outside, a lot of Huskies actually like that. Sometimes after a long walk when there's enough snow on the ground and I get back to my house, mine will see I'm getting ready to go inside and bury herself a little hole in the snow to lay down in. They're used to being outside all the time.

That being said, anybody who beats a dog deserves to be covered in gravy and thrown to a pack of wolves.

Very true, every lab I've ever met has been a great dog. Same thing with Golden Retrievers. I think their only slight is that they tend to get fat more easily than other dogs if you don't exercise them a lot. But again, do the research and you'll know that ahead of time.

yeah, it's where we used to walk, in our old town. Good views that side but the views the other side of the hill (behind that) were better, but it was very steep so unpassable come winter through water lying/mud. Just like Ireland I'm sure


Posted by srussell0018 on Feb-18-2011 19:02:

ahh but you should see the peat. Mighty fine peat we have.

Exactly, thank you Hal.

17ssssses, if your friend's dane had issues with other people that seems like his fault. They don't do that, ever
