Big Dogs or Small Dogs?

the concept of dominance is somewhat ridiculously overstated when ppl talk about dogs, somewhat comparable to talking about alpha males and beta males w/ humans and thinking it's a real thing

I'd say more oversimplified than overstated.

or misapplied I guess

yes

So maybe the dominant dog is throwing the other one a, ahem, bone?

I am always proud of my black labrador, Dogsby. Whenever other dogs show up there is no jealousy or oneupdogship, he is always delighted that another of his brethren is present and does his damndest to play with them. There is a dude around the corner with this muscular killer pitbull type beast that tried to kill him. Luckily it wasn't as bad as it looked and Dogsby had a pierced ear and some gashes on his head. Got revenge on the owner by screwing a load of inch and a 1/2 "8 screws into the fucking tyres of his VW Golf.

Dogsby!

Named after the one in the middle from an old Cbeebies show.

Note to self: get Great Dane and chihuahua

Had our dude (a dane) at the groomer the other day & there was a 4 month old chihuahua giving him the business there. Wasn't as funny as the two above but incredibly cute nonetheless.

i've got a 9-month-old yellow lab, a little smallish for the breed, who's p much ruling my life these days. good: he forces me to take 1-2 long walks/runs in the woods every day. bad: he eats furniture if I don't.

This is Bud, a 4-year old, 104 pound Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees mix at a shelter nearby. I wants him.

Even in the adoption glamour shot, you have a peak into the gallons of slobber that would be your life if you adopted Bud.

the great pyranees is an awesome dog

my inlaws had a gp, he was magnificent & so placid <3

Walked past a house today with few houses around, mostly fields, there was two big dogs, acting like angry guard dogs when they saw me and the fences weren't that high. If they wanted to jump over they probably could have. I walked very slowly past and for the rest of the day I've been wondering if I was nearly savaged or even killed. I'd like to think the dogs would have been fine and merely curious if they jumped over to see me but I've got a bad feeling those fences are irresponsibly low. Regardless, those dogs are likely to terrify lots of people going for a walk. I'm not going near that place again, which is a shame because it's a nice route.

ALL dogs!

Very nice photos of aging dogs

I'm not joking, this fucking jerkoff plumber comes into my house today, with poser gym muscles and tribal tats down his arms, and then shits his pants when he sees a soft old 12 yr old black labrador. The soft twat refuses to do the gas safety check until I take the dog out of the property. Sometimes I think fatal industrial diseases that affect tradesman, like asbestosis are not so bad after all. even tho i've probably got it myself.

little dogs are the all time best, nothing in the world like them

We just got a tiny little dog, named Josie! She is a Mi-ki, and she is very chill and cuddly:
