Dog are awesome. my dog is more awesome than most. I'm pretty sure most dog owners will say the same thing about theirs.

This is my purebred, pedigree, Pembroke Welsh Corgi:

Now, despite the fact that she is a pedigree purebred, she decided to have it off with a Jack Russell on the neighbouring farm, the brazen little slut.

Here is a close-up of Brown, one of the puppies, and possibly the most adorable fucking thing you have ever seen in your life:

That is all.
The Jack Russell/Corgi cross has to be the cutest fucking dog I have EVAR seen!
P3nt, what make is your dog?
Also what's with not telling the names? You can't get a full feel for a dog without the name!
Thor, Dog of Thunder is our new Jackabee (Jack Russell/Beagle) mix:

This is Eris, she is a pretty inflammatory cat. She no longer lives with me.. but I luffs the grumpy little sod.
also.. what is it about crossing Jack Russells with other breeds that guarantees CUTE AS FUCK?
Seriously?
To make up for cat, here is my Mum's dog, that I chose for her at the animal shelter.
This is Murphy, half Dalmatian, half Springer Spaniel, 169% mental health case.
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d189/funkyaquarianpixie/Murphydog.jpg)
He has the oddest greeting of any dog I know... He rolls around on the floor scratching his nose with both paws, and adores my mum.

This is Bailey. He's a toy fox terrier and he knows that cameras are how the white man steals your soul.
LOL these are some good pictures ^.^ Since I only own cats and ferrets, I bring you: Mervous, Much and Zombie.

Dog is 50% staff and 50% no fucking idea (mother went walkabout)
His name is Sylar but he'll answer to pupfordshire or beast.
This is Bandit. His dad was a Chow-Pit cross and his mom was a plain black spaniel-type mutt, but his temperament is almost pure Chow. He's reserved and not particularly crazy about people other than me, but he'll tolerate them if I do. He's very protective and goes apeshit if strange men approach while I'm walking him. Once he caught a guy breaking into the house and bit the shit out of him. :lol: He's ten years old and has always had horrible allergies in the summer that I can never get totally under control, some years have been particularly bad and he chewed off a lot of fur, but it comes back when things cool off. I don't have him for looks anyway, I have him because he's a great dog. This is him on the porch. He'll sit there unleashed and not go out in the street no matter what he sees there. I've never had a problem with him getting out since animal control picked him up once and I had to leave him a couple of days until I got paid. It only took him one time to learn. I've had other dogs that never learned, I had to bail them out over and over.

(http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc322/fennario99/awesomeLG.jpg)
You have to be careful with where you put your drinks, he won't take things off a table but considers anything on the floor to be his and he loves coffee, tea and cocktails. Once I had company and he drank a whole frozen strawberry daquiri before anybody noticed and got wasted. He'd do it again if I let him, but I don't. Sometimes people want me to, but I'm not fucking up my dog so assholes can laugh at him lurching around.

You're a great dog person (and Nina has always rocked!)
I've seen a lot of people hit dogs for growling, but growls mean different things. Bandit got in a fight once and had a big gash on his ear and it bothered him for a couple of days, so he'd get up on the bed and look straight at me and growl. It was a little unnerving the first time, but his body posture didn't say "attack", and he didn't made a move to snap at me, he never has. He was just sitting there growling. It was his way of griping about the ear.
The books don't tell you this stuff. :)

Hell, that's what I do!
"Honey are you alright?"
Me: "Grrrrrrr mumble grrrrrrrrr..."
Exactly. :lol: A yard dog is always a dog, but a house dog gets kind of human after a few years.
This is Snapper. He's a border collie/Australian shepherd mix. Smart as a whip, people-friendly, and jealous as fuck of our younger dog.

This is the younger dog, Regulus, who also answers to Reggie, Spider Legs, and Beardog. He's a BC/Aussie mix, too, but we think there's a third, stupid breed in there somewhere. He's not as smart as Snapper and is people-unfriendly, but he's adorable, cuddly, and sweet otherwise.

It doesn't make any sense to me to hit a dog for growling. Might as well smack a kid for laughing! If the dog is being aggressive, hitting it isn't going to help, but if it's talking, hitting it is a super dick move.
Poor Nina just has a really deep voice. :lol:

Snapper reminds me lot of the old style Scotch collies and farm collies. They're super smart and literally the kind of dogs that inspired Lassie Come Home and Lad: A Dog, not those modern collies with the skinny heads.
Reggie could be a late bloomer, sometimes it works that way. He's a great looking dog, though. :)

I blame a lot of it on the idea that all dogs spend every waking moment plotting to dominate people. "Don't let the dog on the furniture, he'll be on your level", "Don't let the dog walk ahead of you, he'll think he's your leader", etc. I never heard stuff like that until fairly recently, maybe the last ten or fifteen years. Waiting for the fad to die out. :x

chihuahua in the head once. She won't do it around me again. :lol:

Apologies if I'm overposting, I've had the collie bug since early childhood, too. :) Your dogs might actually be closer to "real" collies than what people generally think of as a "collie". I've read that rough collies were bred with borzois in the early 1900's to get the fashionable heads (and less brain room).

There really is a raft of totally shitty faux-dog psychology out there, much of which seems to be inspired by the same people (and level of reason) as inspires the PUA crowd. Or people watch that dog whisperer guy and think that they should apply the same tactics to their perfectly well-behaved pups as he uses with dogs that have severe behavioral issues.

This is Snapper. He's a border collie/Australian shepherd mix. Smart as a whip, people-friendly, and jealous as fuck of our younger dog.

This is the younger dog, Regulus, who also answers to Reggie, Spider Legs, and Beardog. He's a BC/Aussie mix, too, but we think there's a third, stupid breed in there somewhere. He's not as smart as Snapper and is people-unfriendly, but he's adorable, cuddly, and sweet otherwise.

Um, Garbo? Why do you have ridiculously photogenic dogs? Because seriously, fucking beautiful.
Aren't they? :D I think its maybe a breed thing? I've never seen an ugly collie dog or Aussie.
OH YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, DR. PANGO TAKE BACK ALL THE DIFFICULT THING HE SAY ABOUT YOU. LOVE THIS THREAD. SO DELICIOUS.
PLEASE, EVERYONE WITH DOG: WHAT IS AVERAGE STEAK SIZE FROM THESE LIVESTOCK?

Oh my god, she's so cute!

Not mine, but we need more pics like this:

I don't have a pup, but here's my parents' walking pillow.
Meet Muggsy, 125lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal. 100% German-born German Shepherd, who so mild tempered he barely barks, doesn't need a leash, and thinks chasing a ball or a stick is stupid. He spends his days following my mom around, telling her when to walk him, and laying in the garage with the door open, scaring the neighborhood kids. He also waits for the mail lady every day because she gives him cookies.
His ear is busted because he kept scratching it when he got an infection. It's fixable, but we just call it his goofy ear.
(http://i.imgur.com/o0QWx.jpg) You can see how big he is against that couch and my dad sitting there. He takes up most of the living room floor.

Aw! :) He's got a really sweet face, too.
He was a rescue that my grandfather took in, and my mom inherited him after Pop passed in 2009. He's about 10. It's taken some work to get him out of his shell (He was totally abused and living in an abusive household, brooms used to make him cry just by seeing one out) but now he's very relaxed and just hangs out. He's still epically scared of thunder, though, which can be troublesome in the Florida summer and heartbreaking when you see a big ol' dog like him start whimpering and trying to hide under a blanket. :sad:
I wanted one of those big boned shepherds like that since I was five. :D All I wanted then was a dog. I had a playdate at another little little girls house and her next door neighbors had a beagle and a GINORMOUS shepherd. Bowser and Dixie, I still remember the names. Nothing was fenced, we'd just go over there and play with them. Dixie was black and silver, not a brown hair on him, and I was in AWE. When my dad came to pick me up I ran to Dixie and hugged him and said, "LOOK AT THIS DOG!" probably hoping he'd get me a 120+ pound shepherd, and my dad's eyes got all big, like I was hugging a cobra. Then my friends' parents assured him Dixie was a nice dog, but later I still got the "don't pet strange dogs" lecture. He never got me a shepherd, but I got a dachshund not long after that. :lol:
And Coyote, you need a dog. A kickass one.

Yes, but is it an Indigo Pet?
Well, we must apply the Indigo Pet test. First of all, let's examine the alleged diagnostics of 'Indigo Children'. (Below is from Wikipedia)
Descriptions of indigo children include:
the belief that they are empathetic, curious, strong-willed, independent, and often perceived by friends and family as being strange;
possess a clear sense of self-definition and purpose;
exhibit a strong innate sub-conscious spirituality from early childhood (which, however, does not necessarily imply a direct interest in spiritual or religious areas);
a strong feeling of entitlement, or "deserving to be here."
Other alleged traits include:[8][10]
a high intelligence quotient, an inherent intuitive ability; and
resistance to rigid, control-based paradigms of authority.
First of all - 'independent, strong-willed, curious and strange'. Well, she's a beagle. As I've learned from owning a beagle mix, much of what Charles Schultz attributed to Snoopy in the Peanuts cartoon is based on FACT. Sleeping on the back, leaping from high places (especially in ambush), the stealing of blankets etc...all of this is true.
As for a 'clear sense of definition and purpose'? She's a beagle. If you want to see clear definition and purpose, take Ellie outside and wait till she finds an 'interesting' smell. Or a cat.
Strong subconscious spirituality? Uh...pass.
Feeling of entitlement? Abso-fucking-lutely. Ellie doesn't just bring you a toy, she presses it into your leg to make sure that you are aware of her presence, whether you want to or not. She lays under the dining table and the moment you're done eating she grumbles and moans so that everyone shuts up and puts the plates in the dishwasher asap. She insists on sitting on one end of the loveseat which means whoever is there has to move. Ellie curls up with me to watch tv most evenings though, sometimes she lays on the floor or does something else unless Mrs Mang wants to sit with me, in which case she leaps onto us and vigorously wedges herself between us. So yeah, I'd say she is 'entitled'.
Resistance to rigid, control-based paradigms of authority. Again...she's a beagle. We did training classes with her at PetSmart. Turns out that simple techniques that work on other dogs, don't work on fricking BEAGLES....lol...(When puppies nip you, you're supposed to let out a high pitch yelp. For many dogs, this makes them go 'oh shit, sorry' and they back off. Turns out that when you do that with a beagle, it makes them go 'HELLZ YEAH!' and do it even more. Learned that the hard way when, as a puppy, she made a flying bite attack at my face. It was at that point I discovered that this, so far, has been the only practical use of my martial art training - being able to suddenly guard my head....)
That's 3/4 of the criteria. I'd say she's 75% indigo.
High pitched noises probably remind Beagles of rabbits. :lol: It sounds like horrendously bum advice generally, kind of like screaming at displays of aggression.
I don't have anything to offer as an alternative, though, except to block as best you can and wait, they outgrow it.

My mom was raised with German Shepherds. They do pretty much what Muggsy does in those pictures. If you train them right they are extremely mild mannered and excellent family dogs.
