Neither .... Which is odd since my user name would imply I'm a cat person. ( I used to be)

This is a very simple and easy question with only one CORRECT answer!
DOG:
1: Dogs are the easy choice, man's best friend for a reason.

2: there has been some in depth research into proving dogs are also more intelligent. So the aloof aura cats give of isn't actually a sign of intelligence, actually it's quite the opposite.

Owned a dog in africa. Story about dog.

Mix between between k9 and another breed, usually walked my dog a lot. He was a bit wild but didn't need a leash outside much.

In the neighborhood at the time. There where this notorious pair who would always walk their dog as a pair, simply because one person couldn't hold this dog down alone. They would walk it with a bike chain not a bicycle chain...a motorbike chain, real thick grasped around its neck. Dog was easily the most viscous thing you ever saw, bigger than a Dalmatian and I'm not sure what breed it was but it looked like it would give rabies with one bite.

As luck would have it's day to laugh at me. I happen to run into this dog whilst walking mine, needless to say it went crazy.
At this point I'm safe as both of the owners are holding it back but the crazy part is...the dog was actually pulling them both bit by bit. I was fine at this point, just had to walk by...wasn't moving fast enough to catch us both.
At this point my dog was scared, tail in between his legs. He was no match for this guy.
Shock horror, the dog breaks the CHAIN, literally snaps the chain and starts chasing my dog...My dog runs without a seconds thought and leaves completely.

The dog comes back from its chase with my dog and decides to chase me, the owners too far away to do anything, I had to run for my life...as i turn my head to look back at the mutt chasing me, i fall down as it gets closer...Guess what happens? My dog turns up and this time not afraid as he stood in front of me, the dog was huge..but somehow my dog managed to grab its neck and really do some damage, I grabbed a brick and chucked it towards the giant mutt and it ran away.

Now if that's not mans best friend, i don't know what is.

Been a while since i posted here, looking at my profile..I'm defiantly a narcissist.

cool story bro.jpg

Yeah. I agree with you. Dogs are the god damn best (I actually like dogs more than people). I'd kill if it were to protect mine.

On the topic of cats... I have encountered a few "Puppy Cats", cats with dog like tendencies. Those cats were the only ones I've ever liked.

Is this me in a nutshell?
Pretty much.

Wait, a mix between a dog and another breed of... dog? Do you realise K9 is short for "canine", basically having the meaning of "dog"? Or is that "another breed" supposed to refer to another canis species like jackal or something?


Run Forrest, run.

Yes, I don't know much about dog species and their "breeds". My dog was a mix breed. Could care less on the nit pick. Don't need to know a species of dog to own it.
Jesus, you people and the suburbs, got a name for every pouch around the block.

Run forrest, run? Who the fuck is Forrest and how does that even relate?
Was forrest in a viscous brawl with a dog nearly double its size to save it's owner?

You said it was a cross between a dog and another breed. The options were it's either a mix between two species or two breeds with you thinking "K9" refers to a specific breed. What is that breed then, or do you really only know it as K9?


I was talking about you, not your dog. I also though you'd get the reference but perhaps you're too young.

So you lived in Africa. That's a big continent, where around was it? I mean, you make it sound like you don't live there any more. Or do you?

Lol, cool...
I also pick dog,

But we had a German Shepherd when I was around 13, I really liked this dog, (got him around some months after he was born)
His favourite play was biting, and I'm always his playmate, lol,
My arms were always filled with red lines, but I really loved him, so it's kay...

But I had to move, didn't see him in 2 yrs or so, and when I did, he's so grown up already,
But he didn't remember me, barked at me with all his might, I was really shocked and disappointed, so I kinda dissed him for the smaller ones, we had around 10 dogs (originally, it was more than 20, but believe me, taking care of all those fragile type of dogs are really hard, they get sick so easily), they are Shih Tzu (just look at all those health problems), ours are also kinda spoiled, lol...

And believe it, it all started with one male Shih Tzu, then 1 Female, then... Boom, multiplied by around 10 fold, many died tho esp when they caught some virus, got passed from one to the next...
And the first male is now being separated from the first female, cause he's just so so, do it at every chance he gets, and the doctor already said that it's very dangerous for the first female...

I'm just ranting, lol...

It's cool, k9 types are cool, but I'd rather have the small types atm...
We also don't give the dogs away, to family members maybe, but not to strangers or outsiders,
But they might start if all these 10 start breeding, just imagine how much it would be if you got around 20 from one female in less than 4yrs...

Definitely prefer cats. I've never come across one I haven't liked. They all have such interesting personalities, and can be pretty hilarious, especially when it comes to their pride. Also, they're super soft and cuddly! I love chilling with mine after a stressful day, his purring can be really therapeutic.

Dogs are a bit too in-your-business for me, and I find their smell pretty offensive. Not to say that I dislike them as a whole- I just tend to like them on an individual basis. Some, particularly the well trained ones, are pretty cool, while the unruly ones are just annoying.

Well done, its a "Mix" breed. Two species of dog "mixed". Thank you for carefully taking your time to point out a very inconsequential detail. It's a detail many couldn't have cracked Watson.


Your Deductive skills are impeccable, yes i don't live in zimbabwe anymore mr. phoenix wright.
Feels like you missed the point of the entire message i wrote.



You won't give them away!? Jeezus, that's a bit much...so you would have kept 20 dogs? You guys sound scarier than that old lady, you know the one I'm talking about. The one that lives alone and keeps a horde of cats out of loneliness. I'm sure maybe 1 or 2 are lurking here in this forum as we speak, smurfing accounts to upvote the cats. Makes sense... now.

Lol, you cool man,
crazy cat lady, hmm mm, kinda sound like a forum title of someone here...

But yeah, it doesn't really matter to me if they give the dogs away,
But I definitely do not want them to give the first female away, she's just so adorable and beautiful, haha...
And the first male is a real snub towards me, I just go like 'wft', he likes ignoring people (or me) and only sticks to people that spoils him... well, my favourite is the first female, and I pretty much only want to play with her, hmmm, and since he's not really allowed to stick with her, maybe this is why...
Dogs are so smart...

Was that what I said? No, it wasn't. I asked if it was a cross-breed or cross between two species of canis. Either is possible. Get it? I also asked for the part that you called K9, in other words what you confused the term with. You failed to provide the information. Could have just said you didn't know if that was the case.


What's your problem? I just asked where around it was. You did answer it though. Why be such a dick about it? Mr Phoenix Wright? How come you're assuming I don't understand what you're saying when you're the moron? Oh, right, that's why.

Yes, Every life threating story is met with the nice gesture of "run forrest run", "oh you mean my dog?", "no i was talking about you *old geezer laugh*". Why wouldn't i be a dick to that person ?

I stated i don't know much about breeds and yes it is a mix. Would have thought you would deducted that from my first post where i explain i don't really know what the other breed is besides the k9 part.
Someone as smart as you would be able to figure that out, right?

And he asked you if you knew what K9 means...which you clearly don't as your butthurt is evident all over this page.
WTF is a K9 other than the fact that its a short-term for canine - which refers to all dogs.

Do you mean to say German Shepherd? If so, then just say it. Holy crap, you're getting all defensive over a simple question just because you don't understand that some people didn't understand what you said...on top of the fact that you don't even know wtf you're talking about.

It's like if I were to say my friend's cat is a mix of Feline and another cat. They both mean the same thing.

--------

Most ancient dog species evolved into the domestic dogs (your so-called man's best-friend) to suck-up to humans for survival, otherwise faced being hunted down.

Cats appeared relatively late in human history (ie. its a younger species than the dog) and didn't have to do all the brown-nosing dogs had to. They were already fairly domesticated for humans to adopt them as pets (or is it the other way around?).

So in short, Dogs have masters, and Cats....are just Cats (or as the bumper sticker goes, Cats have staff.)

If it wasn't clear enough, I prefer cats.

Everyday I'm tumblin'

Although I adore both cats and dogs I've found out, over the past few years, that I ultimately prefer cats. I just can't help it. Cats are so cute and soft not to say that dogs aren't but typically most cat breeds/mixes have softer fur than dog breeds/mixes. I just don't care for Sphynx cats but other then that I like most other cats were as I dislike a lot more types of dogs than how many I like.

My two cats and one dog have always been around for me, although my dog isn't anymore, that is why it was easy for me to say that I adore both. My cats currently have a hold on my heart though. I just can't get over how cute cats are and I love their independence yet overall need for love and affection.

The evergreen trees speak of days long past when music mingled with the wind and sweet murmurs brushed our cheeks.

Defensive? No, i did answer the question...I just wasn't nice about it."Run forrest, run".
I explained i didn't know much about breeds. Don't be so uptight, i wasn't harping at you.

Secondly, dogs may have masters but i'll give you something interesting to think about. Dogs are considered more sociable in the scientific community and even more extensive research has been done to show they have a more intricate social structure. Intelligent species usually depict these traits for example dolphins. Very sociable and friendly creatures.
Whilst the dog is domesticated the cat has a lone "wolf" mentality (although wolves move in packs), simply because cats haven't evolved to a state where they have developed an intricate social structure or are more sociable.

So if we where to create an evolutionary line, dogs would be further up the line...even after domestication. It's nice to look at a cats independence but it isn't that way for the reasons you think.
It's not exactly a choice so to speak. Down to the intelligence of the species, infact if they where a bit more intelligent they would probably be domesticated like dogs by now.
