Human racial superiority is overrated. Discuss what you believe to be the best/worst dog breeds.

I think Dachshunds is a pretty cool guy. Eh kills rodnets and doesnt afraid of anything.
Their long spines may be prone to injury but we never experienced it, probably because they ran around all day digging up and killing gophers and mice and then spent the evening climbing up and down stairs. Little murderers that love to cuddle while also ridding your home of pests.
Pugs are clearly shit tier. It's like having an english bulldog but dumber and less useful. While I do not want benned I am prepared for it /u/zachums.
Also wire haired dogs are shit tier because it feels weird to pet them. Terriers are just above chihuahas.

It is obviously difficult to decide on top dog breed. I chose mine due to personal experience. labs, shibas, and GSDs are certainly high tier.
n/a Mircabre 2017-02-04
Labradors are the best. Good temperament, useful in many fields, predictable.
Pit bulls are the worst. I don't care if yours is good with kids, they're bred to fuck shit up and their unpredictability makes for shitty family dogs.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
I've heard it both ways for pit bulls. Never know with people who rabidly defend their breed. Supposedly they were good caretaker dogs but of course that includes fucking up anything that would threaten their charge. tbh I just think they kinda look ugly. Like they don't quite have enough skin.
n/a SuchSpookySkeltal 2017-02-04
clearly you don't know a lot of white trash with chained up pitbulls on the dirt lot their dilapidated trailer sits on
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Yeah but they never defend it as a normal dog that totally never would do anything wrong. Or at least they defend it as "Oh it was defending our propertaaaaaaay They train their PBs to fuck up anyone within 50 feet of their property either intentionally or unintentionally through bad practice. I am all about smacking a dog that misbehaves, like a light slap on the snout if they bite or whatnot. I have a relative who had two med size dogs mauled and her leg fucked up by a tard owned pit bull once. Shoulda been the owners, not the dog, that were put down.
Training your dog that other (((people))) are bad is different.
n/a SuchSpookySkeltal 2017-02-04
I don't know what you're saying but I think I agree

n/a Mircabre 2017-02-04
Well all you gotta do is wait til a pit bull mauls some kid and alllll the owners pour out the woodwork defending the breed and posting fake science things about how allllll the pit bulls are sensitive, misunderstood creatures and this clearly one-off case of a family dog inexplicably mauling a four year old is purely from bad training.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Oh yeah for sure. I mentioned how my relative got permanent muscle damage from some fuck's pit bull. They were just normal people in town, just like every other dog owner apparently. Except of course that their dog killed 2 other dogs and then chased down and mauled a lady. Perfectly normal.
n/a FrostBittenSalsa 2017-02-04
Awful breed, they're dangerous and are a toss up as far as temperament goes. There was a man in Wisconsin that used to have one who swore up and down his was harmless despite being aggressive as fuck until it killed his ass. I remember hearing the news about it over local radio on my way to work when I lived there.

But those are number one and two. We can thank our mildy retarded east coasters for both.

I don't mind newfies but excessive long hair is mid tier. Too much cleaning required to make sure they smell all right.

Clearly top tier. Shepherd mixes almost always improve the other breed.. They even change the corgi from small quirky fuzzball into chill gsd with short legs.

n/a caffienatedjedi 2017-02-04
European lineage GSDs, and those actually bred for work, don't have the issues that come with being massively inbred(because they aren't inbred). People trying to keep the bloodlines pure fucked up so many dog breeds.
n/a The_Reason_Trump_Won 2017-02-04
Yeah, it's a shame.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
I've known how the AKC fucks up breeds over time, but I never really thought about the fact they only go for looks, not temperament. Would be nice if they had an "applicable skills" category that had a high weight factor. Of course then it's pretty hard to have the bourgeois sit and watch the competition in a comfortable arena.
n/a Zachums 2017-02-04
Prepare your butt: pugs have a longer average lifespan than German Shepherds.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
True, doesn't excuse their smashed face and possible eye popping out problems.
Dachshunds last on average 2 years longer. Two of ours made it to 18 years old. Hard to remember a time in my childhood without my little puppers :(.

people need to stop breeding certain dogs like bulldogs and pugs. we fucked up their faces so much they can't even breathe. a pug's face is so fucked up one of their known breeding defects is the eyes popping out of the skull
n/a megadog14 2017-02-04
Schnauzers are objectively the best dogs.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
might as well be a terrier. shit tier.
n/a P51Mike1980 2017-02-04
Labrador retrievers are the best breed. Very even tempered, love to play, great with kids.
Not a fan of greyhounds. Not very bright and vey skittish.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Greyhounds/whippets are medium dogs. Dogs over small size need to be able to survive living outside in -30C (-22F) intermittent temperatures with blankets and shelter from the wind. Correct. They are inferior.

Anything that isn't a herding breed like a border collie is too stupid to be useful. Checkmate dogfags
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
blue heelers clearly superior due to shorter hair length and better colours . Herding dogs intermediate tier, hunting dogs high tier.
n/a SpectroSpecter 2017-02-04
I'd totally have a border collie if not for the fact that they require one thousand square miles to run around in 23.5 hours a day. They're like fucking methheads.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Nah they just need a job. The borders I know get tired as fuck if you give them a herding job (not exactly viable for the average person) or if you get them to do more complicated orders. Same as heelers.
n/a nanonan 2017-02-04
Boreder collies are cute, smart and just ridiculously happy all the time. We have a winner.
n/a Ardvarkeating101 2017-02-04
Golden Retrivers are the SHIT. We literally never have to vacuum in the kitchen cause our boy eats all the food dropped IMMEDIATELY, and he loves every human being, ever. Especially those with treats.
He's also amazing at fetch.... but only in the water. No seriously, I think it's a Golden thing, but he will completely ignore anything thrown unless you throw it in the water, in which case he will move heaven and earth to bring it back.

Maine Coons are great. They look a lot like cats, but their behaviour is undeniably dog-like.
n/a BannedFromImzy 2017-02-04
Chicago coons are the most dangerous.
n/a FrostBittenSalsa 2017-02-04
Golden Retrievers, any Shepherd, and Springer Spaniels. Never had a problem with any of them and they don't try to kill you out of insanity. Also, Malamutes and Samoyeds are great aside from the grooming. They love kids, listen well, they actually do shit, and they won't turn on their masters. Love 'em!
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Goldens are okay but they are also almost universally the dumbest dogs in existence.
tbh I wouldn't trust malamutes in a family setting. Little too much wolf instinct in em. Great dogs overall though. Samoyeds definitely the best of the fluffy dogs. I am neutral on springers.
n/a FrostBittenSalsa 2017-02-04
Goldens are actually pretty smart, they just have that "happy idiot/naivety" quality to them. They just want to make you happy and love you. They're just big babies who want to show you how much they love you and be loved back. Very sweet hearted dogs, they are.
Malamutes are great family dogs, they're jobs were to help take care of kids and alert their owners to any family disturbance. The "wolf instinct" you're thinking of (at least I think so) is their "prey drive." It's an innate sense in them to respond to loud noises, sudden movement, etc. When they act on it around kids it's usually harmless and most likely will result in your kid getting bowled over or being given a light nip at most. They aren't trying to hurt your kid when they do this, it's just how they play/rough house for fun. I had a friend who owned one and it used to play rough yet remained a big lovable baby even into his golden years. They're work dogs too, capable of pulling cars in some cases due to being used to help transport people/goods.
Samoyeds, well they're just awesome. You just need to groom them well and keep them cool just like you would any arctic breed. Their smile is absolutely adorable.
Springer's are great family dogs too. Meant for water fowl and bunny hunting, they're energetic and full of personality. Mine was sassy but he knew who was in charge, a real daddy's boy. You just need to exercise them well like you would any other working/hunting breed. They're gorgeous too, with both the long and short haired ones popular amongst showcases.
I dunno, maybe I've just lucked out with how my dogs were. They were always the sweetest pups, very playful and eager to please their family. I miss them all the time, they were indeed living proof that dogs can really be man's best friend.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Losing puppers is the worst. Both of our dogs lived to be 18. After I moved out they would run up to my room every day and sniff around for me 😢

The Belgian Malinois is basically the aryan of the dog race
n/a caffienatedjedi 2017-02-04
Any dog less than 50 pounds is a cat, and cats are pointless.
Dobermans and Shepherds(in general) are the shit.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
What the fuck? Now that I search for it, does cutting the tail (which I never understood for any breed) keep doberman ears down? Like 90% of the intact tails have floppies and 90% of cuts have peaks.
Some of my dad's buddies used to raise coyote pups for a year or so before releasing them. Apparently they were fun but almost impossible to teach boundaries to. There's a few rez dogs at an adoption agency that are almost guaranteed to be 50/50 coyote / huskies and I would love to have one but I'm putting off adopting til I'm out of this city.
n/a caffienatedjedi 2017-02-04
If they dock the tail, they are probably going to crop the ears as well. Its considered part of the breeds appearance to do that to them. The AKC considers it 'preserving the breeds characteristics' but I'm not a fan of it. The alleged health benefits are minimal, and its mostly cosmetic.
n/a metameanderer 2017-02-04
Oh shit, yeah I just looked that up. I didn't even know dobermans started with floppy ears. They are now on my acquisition list, undocked and uncropped.
