This thread is for disussion about man's best friend, and why they're so amazing.

Anyway, to start, here are some details on my dog.

Name: Toby

Breed: Groodle (Golden Doodle)

How much of a good boy he is: 10/10

Cuteness: To high to rate.
 
I used to have a dog that was mixed breed but looked fully like a Finnish Spitz.

Her name was Nalle (teddy bear) and she was quite a hunter. Used to hunt for animals smaller then she was and even tracked moose etc.
 
I'm not saying this to get a rise out of people, I genuinely don't like large dogs. You can come with the whole "if they're properly trained/raised" all you want to but that doesn't make me any less terrified of them. Loud and obnoxious. And when they invade my precious personal space I have to fight the urge not to kick 'em in the head to get them the fuck away from me. They're needy, they smell, they drag filth everywhere and their god damn drool is revolting. And have you seen a dog snarl? Shown its teeth? Yeah, real cute. Man's best friend and all. To me it just looks like a fucking beast putting on a show and at any moment that terrifying maw is gonna flex open and sink its teeth into someone.

And I have no idea 'why' I have such a fear and disgust of large dogs, at least the small ones I feel like I could easily break open like a piñata if they get violent, but large ones? I dunno. Maybe I have a repressed memory from my childhood or something cause I can't see any reason for why I have this fear of them.

Meanwhile, I'm a sucker for cats, who claw the shit out of their owners. So maybe I'm just deluded.

[edit]

I suppose it could be a combination of things. Such as my hypochondria and germophobia. Like I said, dogs smell, and that scent does not smell 'clean' to me. Dogs also drool and I'm not keen on the idea of another species' bodily fluids touching me of infecting my stuff. I also don't like large things I can't control. Which is why I am terrified to ride on a scooter or motorcycle or drive a car. And because of my sensitive hearing any loud noise causes me to have split-second panic. Then we have the personal space issue, I'm an introvert and I am uncomfortable with being touched by others when I don't feel like it. I also can't stand someone who's needy being dependent on me as that means I have to break away from what I want to do just to appease them (which is a large reason for why I don't want to have kids).

With cats... Well, they ain't loud. They ain't drooling. They ain't needy. They understand personal space. And they're small enough that if they snapped I could easily bodyslam them.

Your other points were fine but this stuff is specific to the dog/breed, some large dogs are independent and, a lot of them take good care of their coats.
 
You're right, it only applies to some dogs.
There are some dogs I'm fine with and others that makes me want to jump out a nearby window.
The more issues I have with dogs that a dog fits into the less likely I am to like the dog.
 
Also for what it's worth, dog saliva is cleaner than human saliva. It's not, you know, detergent or anything, but comparatively clean.

For what it's worth, I'm only really comfortable around larger dogs, and that's in part because a miniature Pinscher bit my face as a kid. I'm more comfortable around Rottweilers than I am toy breeds. Unlike small dogs, which need to be handled with a degree of care, larger breeds can take a bit of physical retaliation from you and not just snap like a twig, but will still get the message that they misbehaved. I'm not talking about beating the dog or anything, but a larger breed can handle being shoved away or bopped on the nose without actually being harmed.
 
Hypochondriac and germophobic, remember?
It's an irrational fear. People ain't dying left and right because of their dogs licking them.

I have an irrational fear of large dogs too. They scare the piss out of me. I think it's because my grandma had 2 large dogs that chased me/tried to bite me when I was really little and it traumatized me.

That's why I have a small small doggy, a miniature shiatsu whom I named Cleo. She's stuck at near ankle size forever. She's 12 years old now. We love her very much, she was my first dog and always has been. I've had her since she was only 6 weeks old.

I have a feeling, despite your fear, you'd love my large dog. He's a big German Shepard who CANNOT stand not being alone. He literally cries for hours unless he's reunited with his humans. He's a huge baby who loves people and playing with them. If you leave for a minute he'll follow you. If you leave to go the bathroom he'll either watch or follow you. He can't stand not being with people.

My other large dog is a big plump girl. She.. Is gross. But she's friendly. She loves people, and likes to eat poop for some reason. When she isn't eating shit she sleeps or eats her entire food bowl, which she eventually throws up and eats again. She yaps in her sleep and it's the funniest thing since memes.

Dogs and Cats suck major ass and donkey balls. They die too quickly, 10 years and they are rolling in pain from some illness. Next thing you know, you got to bring them to a veterinarian for a death sentence. Plus you keep them as your personal slaves, which is kind of strange when you think about it.

This is a very interesting point of which I like to think about. I personnally like cats (dogs not so much), but I simply cannot find any reason why someone would want a cat, for example, and simply lock him up in a house for all his life without letting him go outside, hunt...

Before I moved I used to have 7 dogs and around 12 (?) cats, 14 sheep, 6 horses, tons of ducks and chicken and geese, a few cows and even a couple of dwarf goats.
I lived in a large property that used to be a farm and was converted to a tourism place.

The dogs and other animals were ours but the cats were kinda wild and so not really ours, they would still come inside to eat and drink the food, milk and water we would leave for them and some would become domesticated this way, but still they weren't allowed to stay during night time.

Now I live in Canberra and have no animals around, makes me a bit depressed to be honest.

I don't think you understand the definition of a slave. At all. The whole point of owning a slave is to have them do work for you, feed you, clothe you, have sex with you, etc. Dogs and cats are not slaves, because we don't expect them to do anything. In fact, by the definition of what a slave is, we're THEIR slaves. Dogs and cats get to lounge around the house and outside without a care in the world while we feed them, bathe them, take them out on walks, basically do everything in our power to make them happy while they don't have to lift a single paw.

And also for the record, my shiatsu is 12 years old and is still just as frisky as when she was a puppy. So your whole "dies at 10 years old" theory is also bunk. Good day sir.
