Dogs have been in man's twisted mad scientist hands for too long. You can trust a cat, but half of the breeds of dogs out there are just mutant cicrus freakshow animals. The people who thought up some of these breeds are no doubt sympathetic to the guys who made up footbinding in ancient China, as well as those National Geographic neck rings and lip plates. It's just wrong. The acid test to determine whether a breed of dog is or is not a circus freak? Close your eyes. Imagine armegedon. Charlton Heston, The Omega Man. <center></center> Now, take the breed in question. Picture a wild pack of 'breed x' comming around a corner, chasing Heston down and devouring him. If it works it's a real breed. When civilization ends, the chiuaua, the chow-chow, those silly looking mop-dogs, and many other breeds will become extinct in a heartbeat. These are not dogs you should admit to owning.
I have a Chihuahua like a few other people also have mentioned. She is a really sweet, smart dog. I taught her an assortment of tricks. She can sit, lay down, roll over, play dead, spin in a circle, beg, and shake hands. I want to get another dog, but I'm unsure on what breed I want. I want a high energy dog that I can go jogging with. I'm considering between an Australian Cattle Dog, Vizla, Brittney, Ibizan Hound, or Doberman Pinsher. I definitley like dogs the best a s pet, but I'd like to have a cat too.
