So its close to a decade since I've been working with pooches of all shapes and sizes!
Just for fun, I've decided to note my experiences with a selection of breeds that seem to stick out for me.
West Highland Terrier》
not frightened of anything.... not-a-dang-thing!!
Will successfully train all close humans.
Shows full engagement, even if your telling them your shopping list
Labrador retriever》
literal bins on legs! Shows extreme enthusiasm over whatever they deem as food, even when you are screaming "NOOOO" hurtling towards them
Springer spaniel》
crackheads but X3000 faster. Never walked a straight line in their life.
Tail unable to stabilise.
German Shepherd》
LOUD, self-appointed police of the world (wants to be congratulated on this role often) also LOUD.
Greyhound》
calm, sensible, rather elegant, takes zero bull$hìt from silly billies.
Cold.
Bull terrier》
will randomly stop and refuse to budge for no reason other than becoming an obstacle for sevral minutes. Will later remedy that with a burst of energy resulting in the other dogs scattering for safety.
Bulldog》
rolling! its like a genetic trait. Bulldogs are 40% whatever is on the ground. Snorts, farts and barking at whatever random object they deem as danger (often carrier bags and bushes)
Whippet》
dainty, fast pigs! Can detect treat pouch no matter where you hide it. Unapologetic use of "RSPCA" eyes to get said treats. Shockingly hard to move if they don't want to.
DoodlyPoos》
needy! Will let you know what they want (its generally a list)
Can collect a forest in their fur by looking the van window. Fantastic lap warmers
Huskies》
can make noises no dog should be able to make, somehow have you trying to mimic them. Can detect any rodent within a mile radius.
Floof.
