I dunno what vad's talking about. Maybe you should try training your dogs instead of just letting them be pains int he ass?
My dog's are tempered as ****.
Not my dogs, others' dogs. To be fair, there's a difference between small-breeds and large-breeds. Large breeds are usually calmer and less likely to do all that annoying **** the little ones do. Like Pomeranians...God I hate those things.
Only dog I ever had was a buddy, but he was a naughty little turd. He didn't do most of those things, but some were definitely on the list.
I will say, I really really like German Shepherds. Well-trained German Shepherds are the most amazing dogs ever. A neighbor of mine several years ago had an enormous German Shepherd named Buck (hey, it's Arkansas) and I got along really well with him.
If I ever got dogs again, I've toyed with the idea of raising a pure white German Shepherd and a pure black one from puppyhood. Traditional markings are nice-looking dogs, but the white ones and the black ones are just beautiful.
