I like larger dogs, too. But unfortunately I see so many people get big dogs when they don't have a big enough backyard or enough time to keep the dog occupied

The poor dog ends up bored as hell in a tiny yard not getting enough exercise or play.

That's why I have a little dog! I have a small yard and work full time so can't really take him for walks to exercise him but he's quite happy running around in our small yard. I got him from a shelter when he was 2 years old, they were going to put him down because they said he had health problems but I adopted him anyway and now he is 13 years old and going strong!

Haha that's nice, I got my dog from the shelter too after my other dog died. He was close to being euthanized because nobody had wanted him, so we got him just in time. And luckily I do have a big enough yard for him

Yeah, I'm lucky I have a large backgarden and a side garden thingy.
Just shows you that shelters arn't always right doesn't it!, I got my dog from a great dane rescue, when she was 5weeks old, by luck they had puppies, but we also had to pay a hefty amount, cos she was a pup.
here the big mutt is;

A rare occurance, me letting her in my room, nevermind on my bed. Rooms a bit untidy, sorry

unsure if I posted this before, but the big ones mines, and the small ones my sisters!

Dude he's awesome.... but mine would still win in a fight

Does he have Husky in him? I think two different colored eyes is a trait mainly found in husky's and mine has a little husky I believe.

Yep he was a Husky / Rottweiler mix.
And yes, yours would win in a fight because yours would be fighting a decaying corpse.

I miss that dog.

I know how you feel man, I had a dog who died too. It's weird, two of my friend's dogs died too within the same year.

What an awesome dog! I am quite fond of huskies- I really want one, but the more I'm reading up, the more I'm shying away... Sounds like they have a tendency to run away and try to escape backyards (don't feel too much owner attachment). Plus, I'm apartment bound for a while, so I'd feel bad keeping a dog cooped up like that without a large backyard to roam free in.
