Post leser know, high quality dog breeds. Pic related, bavarian mountain hound. Fun fact their german name translates to "bavarian sweat dog".
>>4877591Killer wiener.
I want to hybridise this Dog with South American Bush Dogs and Maned Wolves.
>>4878621What a lovely color.
>>4878621>hmmm, these animals do not drool enough or smell enough like sewage>wants to spread unnatural deformity and uglinessdogs deserve better than dogfaggots
The Central Asian Shepherd, or Alabay.Males can weigh up to 170 pounds.
>muh freedom to own a dog shall not be infringed even if it means killing 100s of thousands of unwanted ones owned by irresponsible people due to their short sighted choiceswhy are americans like this?
>>4876825This. You know how dogs love drinking out of toilets? This is how they harvest toilet cleaning solution.
>>4876539>if they were harvesting shelters for "lab mix" pitbuills I doubt anyone would give a fuckIt would be an even bigger scandal.
>>4876423because we like having the freedom to make bad choices.
>>4876423>>muh freedom to own a dog shall not be infringed even if it means killing 100s of thousands of unwanted ones owned by irresponsible people due to their short sighted choicesI used to spend a lot of time at the local animal shelter and literally 100% of the dogs that got put down because they went un-adopted were shitbulls or shitbull mixes and said shitbulls and mixes were easily 90% of the shelter's dog population at any given moment.
>>4876423looks just like my doghe's getting put down in a few days too haha
How the fuck do I stop cats from coming into my yard, I have tall walls all around. I first tried spraying them with cold water, then the sound repellents. I shot 2 already but more keep coming.
>>4878979>I'd say shoot to kill, maybe poison for times you aren't aroundah yes animal abuse, just what /an/ is for
>>4878829live trap and dump them at the shelter
>>4878917>>4878979For every cat I kill two more take its place, I have no fucking idea where they keep coming from>maybe poisonI dont want to hurt the wildlife in my yard, just rid of the cats

How do you dog lovers cope seeing stray dogs?
>>4878968i'm also from rural TX and can tell you plenty of people do this. my town had several trailer parks and shitbulls wandering around/into the streets was a common occurrence that no one ever did anything about. best decision in my life was finishing high school early at 17 and getting out of trash heap of a town.
>>4878813That's some bullshit because I have absolutely come across redneck aggressive ass dogs that are allowed to free roam. I live next to 3 of them. It's about a quarter of the free roaming dogs I see are either not stranger friendly or not dog friendly, or both.>>4878968>>4879088One of you is lying.>>4878922There's about 20 dogs just in my area alone that are 'free roam' or stray, that's a lot of fucking money. And no, there's no shelters here to take them, and rescues are full.
>>4879289>One of you is lying.i know, the retard seething about city people is. dogs roaming around is perfectly normal in rural towns, especially in trailer parks where the average IQ is 75. i had a good friend live in one so was over there often and saw the most hood trailer trash shit imaginable. >be teenagers with shitty BMX bikes, setting up ramps near garbage heap to do jumps>couple walking their dog, they disappear around a bend>30 seconds later hear giant commotion, dog yelping>go check it out>shitbull latched onto couple's dog's front leg and isn't letting go>guy comes running down the street with crowbar, buries it into shitpull's eye socket, doesn't let go, cracks crowbar across its head>shitbull reluctantly lets go and starts running away wobbling>another guy from nearby trailer comes out screaming (later identified as shitbull owner) at guy with crowbar and get in each other's faces>owner goes back in trailer, comes back out with shotgun>at this point friend and i GTFO back to his place>later on police come and surround shitbull owner's trailer trying to get him to come out>standoff until like midnight where he finally comes out and gets arrested
>>4879304Around me it's the pits that are actually nice. It is specifically brown labs that are awful around here, idk why. Snarling, snapping, and charging people. Will go out of it's way to attack you if they so much as fucking hear your foot steps half a mile down the road. Also have some mean little dogs but I'm not worried about them, you could kill them with a kick. I think the scariest are the failed pyr mixes people get to protect their fucking 4 chickens - 120lb dog charging at you really gets your heart racing. Have to carry a fucking shillelagh just to get the mail.
>>4878165When I see a stray running around, I take a photo and send its location to the local dog shelter, hoping they can come soon, catch it, and probably give it a better life. I volunteered there to learn about the future of strays who get caught. They have a clear pipeline for them that prohibits euthanasia unless the animal has rabies or other extremely serious shit. If there is no sign of aggression reduction after several sessions with professional dog handler (she's ex-military and knows her shit well), the dog just stays locked forever. Otherwise, the dog is sterilized, tagged, and put up for adoption if it is friendly or gets released back on the streets if it is too scared by human contact. I see about three-four dogs with such tags annually, they just stay as far away from people as possible.
>from 1962 to November 2023, no confirmed sightings>suddenly out of literally no where, the Zaglossus attenboroughi pops up againHow many other species out there that we think are extinct that are secretly still alive?
>>4873447You have autism and are damaging science with your dogmatism

I want pig footed bandicoots to still be real, they looked like small brown rats, but moved like horses, sadly, austr****ns presumably killed them all.

Skunk thread. Post and appreciate these special lil guys
>>4878306stripes are just elongated spots
>>4878337That's not how it works. Your brain is spotted.
When I was a kid, my family had a black cat that would hang out with he skunks as friends. He massacred rabbits but the skunks were his bros, they would always patrol the perimeter of the yard together.
I seen a skunk last night do this thing he like scraped at the ground really fast like he was a cartoon character trying to run on slippery ground, then jumped at another skunk and tour out a big piece of fur and it bled a bit. Didn't bite it from what I saw so maybe not rabid just fighting.
>>4879113Yeah they are like that in general, they don't like having other skunks around and do that scrapy thing in fights
So what caused the bloop? Do you think it could've been an animal?
>>4877774That's what they want you to believe

She deteriorated so fucking quickly
>>4876608I'm sorry, anon. It's hard to be a caretaker for someone who's terminal. My old dog lived for two years after being diagnosed terminal with heart failure. And yeah, he deteriorated very well quickly at the end. About 21 months of a very gradual decline, then 3 rapidly.You probably don't want advice, but I'll give it anyway. Take as many pics and videos as you can now. Do casts/prints of her nose and paws if that's important. Spoil her as much as you can. Let yourself cry even if you think it's dumb or girly - what's more noble than to shed tears over a great friend?It will suck really bad. The journey there and her passing. It will hurt greatly and you just have to deal with it until time builds up a callus. Keep a journal and write how you feel, talk to her through it, write down all your memories of her and all her little traits so you never worry about forgetting. It's a hard road. I'll save her pic so I remember her, too.
>>4876608Sorry that you both have to go through this. Your dog looks great and happy.
>>4876608Deny it.
Shoulda fed her real food
>>4876608I am going through similar with my Husky/Sheppard right now. Not kidney but pleural effusion and he deteriorates fast if we don't drain him. Decided to euthanize tomorrow but really struggling with it and everything just feels terrible. I hope you are doing well anon.
Could these things survive in the wilderness anywhere in the US? I'm based in East Tennessee. If I were to release a bunch of these little guys into the woods, could they survive and reproduce? What about European ones?
>>4874623>yes daddy government please step on me and tell me what I can't doLet me guess, you're from some shithole like the Netherlands where you're only allowed to own dogs, cats, and maybe a hamster.
>>4876183>America is literally a third world country>People are leaving in droves for better places to live>Ackchyuyally the Netherlands is a shithole because you can't own monkeys there!!!!!!Do Amerisharts really believe this?
>>4874623We don't, although I think hedgehogs specifically are legal. It's illegal to own 99% of native wildlife iirc and you need a special permit for a lot.
I used to think they were ugly but now I find them cute; especially the long-haired ones. How do you fell about them?
Chihuahuas and huskies are dog shaped aliens and you cannot convince me otherwise
Husky = speed and agilityChihuahua = longevity and wisdomWe must combine them
>>4879069you can just get a parson russell terrier, theyre kinda like a bigger chihuahua, except not as weird looking as a jack russell
>>4876992I named my little guy Escapade and we are absolutely insufferable.
>>4879069What an absolutely chaotic idea, I love it
Why aren't horses ever portrayed in the media as the man's best friend? They're almost always present in medieval/old-themed stories, but they're almost always treated as nothing more than transport vehicles.
>>4878935Do you know how to read? Horse was mainly seemed as a tool in the west and it was not as relevant and the center of the culture as it were for the Mongols. You either don't know what is to have a culture centered or something or you are straight up stupid. Even with all there usage and even in war horses didnt got fame or the glamour that eve n nom European animals, like lions, got in the west culture.
>>4878928>you can found a deity being a personification of almost any animalhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epona
>>4878996KEK. I mean this excepetion proves the rule. Minor importance a horse that is a god to horses, but I will concide there is/was a "horse God". And well I didnt know about it. Thank you.
>>4877115>Dances With Wolves>Neverending Story>Sleepy HollowIt's way more common than you think.
>>4877115Because narratively, like dogs in stories, a horse being the best friend means it probably dies horribly.
