Hound dog owners are emotionally stable.

2. Pastoral pooches (German Shepherds, Collies, and Corgis): If you share your bed with a border Collie, you’ve likely never met a crowd you weren’t comfortable in, you classic extrovert, you.
I call BS on this one. I HATE people, and the only thing I hate more than people is a crowd of people. My GSD also hates people and crowds, and also has Asperger's and Tourettes.

I knew I liked you for some reason.

I'm not sure why the AKC placed Akitas in the Working Dog class. I've had 4 in 40 years and nobody's ever figured what they're good for. They really, really hate to play fetch (watch the movie Hachi [though even there they used a Shiba as a stand in for the Akita :rolleyes:]).
As watch dogs, that's exactly what they do...watch. They can bark, but don't. They observe. I suppose being observed by a large dog is enough, though.
They are stubborn. I guess that fits. ;)

Neighbor had an Akita. it was blind. It was a damn good 'watch' dog. :lifter

Yeah, every GSD owner I know hates people and is happy their GSD hates people (and cats)(and deer)(and doorbell ringers). Although I would probably not accuse them of Asperger's. ;)
If "pastoral pooches" are extroverts, that has to be Labradors, Retrievers, maybe Boxers.

I have no doubt of that. ;)

my basset drove me batshit crazy on a regular basis. used to call it "the Basshole"
and it was still better than the vast majority of people i have ever known.

I've had six beagles over the years, every one of them crazy as a drunk loon on Orange Barrel.
I have a Cane Corso. He spends excessive amounts of time licking his genitals....so...

My wife brought home a Shitszu one morning, but I took it down to the vet and had it euthanized for pissing on my McCain/Palin sign. :

My Czech GSD loves all kinds of people, he just doesn’t like seasoning on the illegals ……. :munchin
Hmmmm, what category does the Carolina Curb Setter fall under?
And the Carolina Yella' Dawg?

My might hunting dogs are laying on the couch asleep, and I'm in the recliner under a poncho liner watching a western, chewing shoal, and just got back from a run. That article might be pretty accurate.

I have had 2. Both were really good watch dogs. Both flight risks and quick killers of anything that got in The yard. Cats, squirels, rabbits, stray dogs, none had a chance. Both were good sizrd, one was over 140lbs.

What does my dog say about me?
Nothing, he knows better.

AN E-MAIL FROM A FRIEND:
Subject: gotta see my new guard dog....
I got a new guard dog to guard my house.
He was a little more than I thought I should pay.
But, I think when word gets out, we'll be a relatively crime-free neighborhood.
The nice part is he is only a year old and already fully trained.
For your safety, you might want to call the house if you're coming over!
