Dog Breeds

DOGS, They come in many breeds.. Do your reasearch before choosing your new dog OR AT LEAST BEFORE CRITICIZING A BREED

Okay a little education for idiots.
Its one thing to get a dog you know nothing about for the novelty of it's reputation or out of impulse etc only to dump it off somewhere because you couldnt handle it. That alone just pisses me the fuck off. But to read stamps opposing certain breeds of dogs because of what you hear on the news with out having any knowledge of the breed what so ever is really just crawling under my skin.

every breed of dog is different. They were all bred for different reasons. When bringing home a new dog, you must be aware of the breed to avoid problems in the future.
Remember, YOU as a dog owner are responsible for not only the health and well being of your pet, but the behaviors as well. Your dog cannot be blamed for your negligence.
Don't understand? Okay, look at our society, everything is man made, you can not expect a dog to just know how to behave. Its the same with children. They arent born understanding how everything works, its taught. Same with dogs, you are their parents, you must teach them.

Now as I said earlier, every dog is different, every breed was created for something different. It is important to understand the breed of your choice to be prepared for what it might do and be ready for it. Most breeds have their reputations, your knowledge of the breed should not be based solely on that.
for example, pitbulls have bad reputations, and its unfortunate because not all pitbulls deserve the title for being a dangerous animal.
But good reputations dont help either. For example the border collie (being my favorite breed), has a good reputation. They are known for being the most intelligent breed of dog, and are great working dogs. This is a double edged sword for the breed because it is true they are intelligent attracts the less intelligent, people, to get one of this dogs assuming theyre getting a 'genius' perfect pet. What research tells you about the border collie is that they are high energy dogs that need a lot of space for running. Because theyre so intelligent, with out the right guidance and training, they can literally destroy your house, nip at your kids, and just drive you crazy. Border collies are smart dogs and theyre eager to please, they will work around the clock. If you can not work them, they will find ways to work themselves, this unfortunately gets them in trouble.
In conclusion, border collies arent for everyone. This goes with ANY dog. You need to do your research and find the dog that is right for you. Because if you dont, the dog will suffer in the end, and guess whos fault it is:
YOURS.

So my point: Learn about the breed before you choose it,so the dog doesnt have to suffer and you dont have to look stupid. AND to not hear retards from the peanut gallery input their thoughts as well.
