False, dogs have many drawbacks. The reason why people like them is because they have been breed for 20,000 years to be servants and the most sycophantic animal on earth. If they talked the would speak like ChatGPT-4o did (with out the useful data) before it was put down. So most retards that want a submissive creature to project their ego just fall in love with them.

And before you mutt fanatics go against any other specific species, I just like all animals even dogs, I just don't fall for the spell and see them as they are.
>>
>>5091822
Dogs are very independent. I could keep a cat, a rabbit, and even a snall parrot in an apartment for its entire life and barely have to do anything but clean up after it, but a dog would destroy my life and possibly harm people if I didnt meet their demands.

Just because an animal is smart enough to work for pay doesn’t mean they’re dumb or servile. That’s just you projecting your liberal commie laziness and narcissistic tendencies onto animals. Dogs just have the social reasoning skills to operate on social contract based morality. There’s not actually much difference between pet wolves and pet dogs (ie: husky, shiba) essential behaviors besides how much they trust strangers and how likely they are to ask for help.
>>
>>5091828
See, the difference is that the genetically programmed sycophancy of the dog makes you have more emotional empathy for it, meanwhile the other animals mean shit for you because you are unable to understand their ethological needs, and language, even if you understood it would be intellectual empathy not emotional, you think a rabbit or a parrot in an apartment is okay but you just don't have the same empathy not ability to understand them to see how they might suffer.

Obviously dogs can still reveal against you if you push them hard enough they still have some instincts and autonomy, however that does not remove the fact that the reason why you and many other mutt fanatics are so obsessed with them is because they are designer sycophants.
>>
>>5091878
>sycophancy = fighting back against captivity
You’re delusional mate. Either you’re wrong or dogs are so much more intelligent than cats that they alone can comprehend captivity.

Protip: a sycophant doesnt need trained. A sycophant doesnt rip your arm out because they’d rather go another direction. A sycophant doesnt need to be taught the benefits of coming when called. Sycophants don’t inspire violent oppression among lead addled boomers and double digit IQ thirdies and peasant cattle.

Cats are excellent sycophants. From birth they are cringing, nervous attention whores. Dogs? Not so much. A dog chooses. A cat obeys. A dog negotiates. A cat accepts. All you have to do is clean up after a cat. A dog is basically a person by comparison. More of one than you, actually. You know you’re a yes man and it scares you.
>>
Dogs are secure in their independence and know what they accept and why
Lesser animals cant even comprehend whats going on
Dog haters are fragile narcissists that would seethe hard if they had to work a job and answer to a superior and they project this fear onto animals. They can not imagine that anyone would voluntarily choose not to be the one giving orders. As a narcissist this frightens them greatly and as a narcissist they have an innate need to defame and slander anyone and anything that threatens their sense of egotism.

Its like when a raving antisemite sees someone successful just not give a fuck about jews
>WHAT!? YOU GOYIM MUTT SLAVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOU
>>
>>5091884
I think its partly because dogs are associated with traditional masculine roles and general success. Larger parrots and corvids can be trained to gladly do shit and horses are terrified into obedience on the reg but they only seethe about dogs because the image of a handsome white guy with a beautiful wife, two kids, and a dog is burned into their brain and causes trauma when they remember it.

You’re an old school incel. You hate dogs in the tradition of lovecraft because you are the same species of loser. That tradition has had 100 years to be right and it failed. Get over it. Grow up. Dogs are great.

Animals are not “genetically programmed sycophants” because they’re social and capable of learning. That’s just you coping with your aspergers and its comorbid narcissistic symptoms.
>>
>>5091901

I already said that I like dogs, I have lived with them since I was a kid and in fact me and my wife rescued our current dog from a backyard breeder that got one of his dogs pregnant by another dog that wasn't the same breed, so he was going to just get rid of them. But Im not stupid to not notice the extreme bias society has for dogs due their artificially breed traits while disregarding the well being of other animals over dogs.

Yes they are genetically programmed sycophants, they have been breed to be more submissive and useful to man than any other animal, you have a breed for everything, from pocket dogs to weapons meant to take down prey. You can even see this in research, wolves struggle a lot following orders because they have not been programmed to be submissive and to be so tuned to human emotion. That's why even floppy eared dogs are more popular than more primitive breeds like huskies and GSD. Its all about making them more human like and to make them do what humans want.

Obedient dogs or any other animal are labeled as smart, dogs or animals with conviction are labeled as dumb or dangerous and get culled.
>>
>>5091908
>An animal is smart enough to learn and negotiate. Its a sycophant!
You dont know what sycophant means. Apparently it means intelligent. Wolf pups behave around their person like a dog would.

Ultimately you have issues
You dont like the idea of an animal liking you
You dont like the idea of an animal liking anyone

You would gladly mistake a braindead, comatose animal with an eighth of the brain matter for a civilized thoughtful gentleman
And let me guess, you think cats “need” to go outside
>>
>>5091909
Also here’s the kicker

Yes, I said cats are little sycophants. If they’re not poorly socialized or traumatized they are insatiable attention whores and seek out bad moods and rev up the purring. Its why people have been making excuses for their existence since the start of it.
But guess what? I train cats. Every cat I meet. I teach them all to sit, paw, and come at least and some are even smart enough to learn to stand and lay down. Clicker training also works on them better than the average dog because realizing the click is a dishonest signal requires more intense thinking. Only collie variety herding dogs have ever been clicker-trainable to me because they’re one of the few breeds that are genuinely sycophantic. Its their entire point. Otherwise they would be shitty herders. Surely, they’re not being fooled that badly. They’re just hankering for a good boy. Most other dogs don’t tolerate total reward fading

Thanks for supporting what I said; obedient dogs or any other animal are labeled as smart, dogs or animals with conviction are labeled as dumb or dangerous and get culled. Unless they are meant to be a weapon.

It is of a lot more value and privilege to be genuinely liked by a wild or even a less domesticated animal than have an animal be selectively breed for 20,000 years to be more submissive, like you and serve you while displaying body language that triggers your empathy system. I mean dogs do deserve empathy they are still sensitive beings, like any other animal. But they are overrated as fuck due such artificial traits.
>>
>>5091925
This is huskyfaggot levels of nonsense. Very few breeds are genuinely cucks and only the higher tier examples of them. These breeds are also prone to epilepsy and weird obsessive disorders!

Dogs like you by default. So do cats. So do wolves. What you’re seething at isn’t artificial, its a wolf with a socialization window that doesnt close at 7 weeks. You need to get the fundamentals before you yammer on about trve wvlf spirit like every retarded pseud ever. Oftentimes a smarter dog, like a malinois over a husky, is LITERALLY SMARTER. They have enlarged frontal lobes and a more developed region that resembles the human broca’s area. They are literally - smarter. A fucking coyote would adore you just fine but they would be dumb and skittish. And a mal is 0% servile. They embody that a dog chooses. You negotiate with a mal or they negotiate with you. They exceed some supposed humans in intellect.

Again I train cats without issue and the only difference is they are fucking retarded and can not learn much or understand grammar and compound commands like even dumb dogs can. People have wolves and wolfdogs performing on movie sets. Wild ass tigers as pets. You read too much into animals liking you because you have issues.

BTW domestication has made dog brains quite smaller than wolves, its part of the domestication syndrome. Wolves of course act dog like but there is a reason why wolves are not in everyone's house and part of their allure is their wildness and ferocity and not labeled as man's best "friend".

Just like dogs, attacking even your own kin (per your perception of me being a husky fanatic).

Sadly Im no dog breed fanatic, Im fine with all breeds, even mongrel dogs. Did you missed the part in which I have a rescued mongrel dog? Which is not even related to huskies, I don't care what breed she is.

You also have everything ass backwards

Golden retrievers are literally smarter than huskies. They aren’t artificial cucks. They are more intelligent. More intelligent animals are more agreeable because they can reason out logical, beneficial courses of action.

You can see this in people. Imagine saying east asians are artificially bred sycophants selected for by the state. No dude, they are more intelligent and most belligerent and stubborn moments are born of flat out stupidity and a lack of foresight.

I love borzois, they're probably my favorite breed.
That said, they're an expensive dog for the bourgeoisie. In reality, they're little different than teacup chihuahuas, the only people who own them are cunts who bought them because they need their pet to be a status symbol for 2500 dollars.
I'm not really into that mindset, and I believe in getting shelter dogs. A borzoi is never going to be in a shelter.
