Question for y'all - if you were gonna get a dog, which breed would you get?
I'd get a Samoyed. I actually wanna get both a Samoyed and Husky when I make enough money.
MY fave is a border collie.
Apparently a standard poodle is the only dog smarter but I've never seen a smart poodle.
My Border Collie though was something else.
I watched a show where they said the herding instinct kept inthe Border Collie was close to the hunting instinct of the Wolf. Judging from the "gifts" my dog left in the front yard I believe that entirely. I actually watched it stalk chipmunks. It never caught one, but those buggers are faster than lightning. The dog did bring home mice, moles and even Birds. Cost my mom $50 when it brought home the Killer Rooster that was in my Grandads barn. (HE rented it out)
Very active dogs and need a lot of exercise, but I would get one again in a heartbeat if I had the right situatution.
German Sheppards are also good. And you really can't go wrong with a Mutt. They tend to have wide personalities.
What's the difference between that and a Pittbull?
Pitbulls are actually closer to a Staffordshire Terrier than an English Bulldog.
PIts can be the gentlest most loving dogs. Super sucks.
But they do have violence bred into them.
My buddy's dog would lick your face off. But it got a bit crazy if you played tug o war. Flipped that inbred switch over to killing machine. It's a shame, because if they are brought up right they are amazing dogs.

My dog is part border Collie part husky and all the time she is catching animals. Must be at least a dozen birds, a half dozen rabbits and a couple moles. Never seen her get a chipmunk or squirrel but they are in our backyard all the time so it wouldn't surprise me if she has but we just didn't see her do it.
Even in her old age she is catching stuff. She is 11 or 12 now and in the last 1-2 years she must have caught 3 rabbits and 2 birds.
PS: If you ever wanted to know what a rabbit in pain sounds like, it is a very long, loud high pitched squeal.

They are amazing dogs.
A guy told me once of a party where the owner had 2 Border Collies. As everyone was standing around in the back yard the dogs slowly herded them all together. The dogs would just walk around the outside and bump the people standing the farthest out until they were all grouped toegther.
I have never known a dog as smart as the Border Collie I owned.

That's hilarious.
I bet the party was awkward so the dogs were trying to just save it by forcing people together to force conversation

They just kept bumping people in the back of the leg so they would step forward and eventually they had the party in this small circle.
I would have loved to have seen it.
You ever see the professional sheep herding competitions?
Those are some smart dogs.
I watched the last competition for this one champion dog. Had been doing for 19 years or something crazy. The farmer didn't have to do anything but open and close the gate.
That's hilarious.
