I’m starting to feel like I have to get a dog.
It’s not that I dislike dogs I actually really like animals, I just dislike having a pet.
It’s like it’s great when they’re somebody else’s 
So come on if I was to get a dog which is the best breed?  |

Same here pal, I love dogs and enjoy mucking around with them. Good excuse for long walks etc, but I definitely don’t want them as pets. |

Mixed Breeds are best imo....they won't have the common hereditary genetic ailments associated with pedigrees....
I'd also recommend getting a rescue doggy & please don't buy from puppy farms.... |

Too much looking after and responsibility, I barely feed myself, I don’t need to cook three lots of super noodles each night |

They all look cute to me. But then again, I've never had one so have no idea what constitutes the best... |

To start one that doesn’t try to bite your fingers off when you try to stroke it. ….
That kinda works on many levels on Fab |

I dog is for life as the saying goes. You have to invest many many hours into their well being. If you have the time to loom after a dog, the breed should reflect on your way of life. If you have an active live like long walks/hikes etc. The breed should match this, say Collie, Spaniel or other gundog breeds. If your not very active than a lap dog, say pickenese (excuse spelling), pug etc. |

"I have a dog that looks after me
Haha. Do you know when you watch people taken for a walk by their own pet? Is it like that?"
I wish he'd do my self assessment for me.
He's my emotional support dog.
If I look like I'm going to call someone a moron on teams he quietly wuffs |

"I have a little Jack Russell. In his early years he was constantly trying to hump things. Can you imagine that? Being horny all the time?
No idea where he got it from."
Who was trying to hump everything his height?…

I have two German shepherd/rottweiler crosses. One is more Rottweiler and one is more German shepherd. They’re very large!
I also have a Heinz variety and he’s medium sized.
They keep me busy  |

Depends on your needs , your temperament and how much love and time you have for them . There are very few bad dogs , but there are plenty of bad humans |

We loved our chickens. All ex battery rescues. We had a final encounter with Mr Fox and we didn't get any more. It was too sad  |

Aww. Poor things. X
I had 4. 2 battery hen plus A white Sussex and a black rock. Eggs every single day for 2 years. I’ve got loads of funny stories connected with that. Finally gave them way to a farmer.

There's nothing wrong with not wanting a dog or any pet!! That's not being irresponsible! I don't want to own a dog either or own any pet! I look after other people's dogs but I'm glad to hand them back to their owners tbh! Does that make me irresponsible!?   |

No., Because you know your limits and responsible and intelligent enough to act on that |

"Not a German Shepherd, they're arseholes
Hahaha. They’re cuddly. And I thought we had to call them Alsatians now. ??? or have I got that wrong?"
Mines fluffy and loves a cuddle but he is an arsehole
No, German Shepherd has been recognised by the kennel club as a breed name since 1977. Alsatian name was used because of the negativity against Germany after the war.
Although Alsace where the breed originated from is now part of France....
Tbf I don't think it matters, German Shepherd/Alsatian is one and the same.

Think first if you have the time and lifestyle that would accommodate a dog , far to many people get dogs on a whim then abandon them a few months later, if you have and still want one then go for a rescue dog and give them a chance of a new life  |

No, and I'll never have one until I'm old and not able to do the traveling I do through ill health or something .. even then i probably won't have a dog. If you love your travel for long holidays and being able to do certain things, having a dog just isn't compatible. Too many folks used them as a kid substitute .. and plants are the new pets ..

Don't do it! Literally everything you do you have to consider how it will impact your life. If you are even a tiny bit selfish you would regret it.
Having said that.....dogs are wonderful creatures, I love mine to bits  He's a fox red lab. |

I don't have a dog anymore , haven't got the heart to get another one after we lost our boy.
He was a doberman and the biggest baby ever
Had a German Shepherd too, another big baby.
My dogs got a Samoyed husky, he's a big loving cloud. |

Totally agree with this. Find it 100x easier to get someone to watch the kids than the dogs  |

I have a plant. Haha
I won’t get a dog, but it’s been great to read about everyone’s pets.
I’d never abandon a dog, you bring a dog into your family, and we don’t abandon family members do we?
I don’t have enough land for a dog that I think it would need or enjoy, and I don’t need the responsibility right now, maybe when I’m older. |

We have a dog, he doubles up as both a waste food disposal and a hot water bottle, does fuck up our swinging life as getting a dog sitter overnight is a pain but we wouldn't be without him. |
