Katie P Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) Hmmmm Don't get a Japanese Spitz if you want them to: - Not shed - Love everyone - Follow your every command obediently - Be quiet, good puppies - Not bark when something dare enters the property (how dare they!!!) Get a Japanese Spitz if: - You don't mind eating the sandwich you made this morning and pluck the white hairs out of it or your mouth - if you like being insanely loved and adored, the 'center' of their world - You don't mind a white fluffball puppy running around the house where just watching it drains you of all your energy.....it doesn't sleep much either....just plays, does zoomies, explores and gets into things it shouldn't! --------You dont mind not sleeping much for the first couple of months - You love running your hands through their big white soft coats - You like a dog which learns things quickly and are too smart for their own good but has their own mind - You love the smoochy sooky cuddly boys and the independent fiery girls - You like a big dog in a small dogs body - You don't mind a dog which love to get dirty even though they are white - You love the coat where after half an hour or so they are clean again, the dirt just falls off - A dog which is proud, elegant and beautiful. ETA: Also do not get a Japanese Spitz if you do not intend on socializing them properly. Edited February 22, 2012 by Katie P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Lyndsay, oh yes! Been asked "what's wrong with her eye, can she see, is that normal" etc etc. Here are some other descriptions: Oh she looks like a cat She looks like a tiger She looks like a snow leopard She looks like an African wild dog She looks like she's wearing a coat, a la 101 Dalmatians! (coz of the spots) I'm not complaining though, I'd happily talk about her all day :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perry's Mum Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I didn't put any "don'ts" for Aussie Shepherds before but a couple of weeks later I have some :D... (and yes I was warned about them). Don't get an Aussie Shepherd (at least a Blue Merle with 1 blue and 1 brown eye) unless you don't mind: CONSTANTLY being asked "what kind of dog is THAT?" and hearing "oh look at the different coloured eyes!" And anything at all within mouth reach being destroyed! Again, I was warned but it turns out they are very clever at figuring out how to get hold of things you thought they had no chance of reaching... Have you been asked "Oh so is he/she blind in that eye?" yet? People with Koolies have to answer that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benshiva Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 After today, NEVER own Border Collies if it rains a lot where you live and you want nice clean dogs and furniture. Lord but mine love mud baths!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mita Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Don't get a Tibetan Spaniel if you don't want to finish up like this lady. Tibbies are just too easy to own. Click to enlarge. And you have to get used to a Tibbie's Buddhist 'cool'. 'Yeah, I know the 'gator's back. So what?' Click. Edited February 23, 2012 by mita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkhe Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Don't get a poodle if you mind being asked "aww, is that a schnoodle/cavoodle/moodle/other-kind-of-oodle" whenever they're not in a perfect, straight-out-of-the-groomer poodle cut! The odd "oh wow, she's so gorgeous, you never see pure poodles anymore!" does make up for it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paptacular! Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hehe, Katie do some people have a problem with ham, cheese and dog hair sandwiches?? This reminds me, I was eating lunch at work this week and someone pointed to the long white hair that was poking out of my container. "Oh, just dog hair" I say, plucking it out and keep on eating. "Ewww isn't that yuck?" "Nope, I own 4 dogs, you get used to it and I know how clean they are!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
