The Dogs, but they're actual dogs (+ Eddie and Joe)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🤍 Mr. White - Kangal

Pretty but also scary boy. Looks like an older man. It's the face, it has a Keitel face. Maybe if the dog was smaller it could've been perfect.

🧡 Mr. Orange - Canaan

I dunno?? It looks Freddy-ish. Skinny, orange and a resting worried face. Not really a cop dog but he's trying. Also thought about putting a Basenji.

🩷 Mr. Pink - German wirehaired pointer

DOG WITH A GOATEE??? Struggled not to put a Chihuahua here. Looks a bit serious idfk. He looks like he's about to say that he's a professional.

💛 Mr. Blonde - Thai Ridgeback

Edgy character - edgy dog. Ridiculously quiet but scary. Also same forehead. Could easily imagine this dog shooting the whole jewelry store down.

🤎 Mr. Brown - Bull terrier

Silly fucking dog. Met one of these, it's like the most worry-free, braindead thing I saw. Will die if you don't pay enough attention to him. Also a Madonna fan.

💙 Mr. Blue - Scottish deerhound

Grandpa dog, also very quiet. Hesitated before putting this. This dog is too pretty to be compared to Blue but like... which dog isn't?

👤 Nice Guy Eddie - Irish setter

Fancy-ass fucking dog. Curly ginger. I can hear this dog yelling at the rest to calm down until "daddy" comes back. I don't know, it just looks lost.

👤 Joe Cabot - American pit bull terrier

Edgy sonuvabitch. Didn't know what to put here, it just looks short and grumpy so why not (it's the non-existent neck). Kinda feel bad for the dog now.

bully positive zone

pretty sure op turned off reblogs literally as i was researching & typing this so, making my own post:

some facts about pit bulls / similar bully breeds!

pit bulls account for about 1/3 of studied dog bites

they are also very common dogs and much more likely to be abused and neglected than other dog breeds

84% of violent incidents involve a dog that was abused or neglected

94% of violent incidents involve a dog that was an intact male, which experience significantly more aggression than neutered males

the breed standard temperament is confident, excited, eager to please, and extremely friendly toward humans, and the only ''typical'' aggression is against other dogs (which can be avoided with proper socialization). it is not normal for pit bulls to be aggressive toward humans

they are much less likely to be adopted, spending an average of 3x as long in shelters as other dog breeds, and are much more likely to be euthanized than other dog breeds. they are considered undesirable due to public stigma

(sources: 1, 2, 3, 4)

in this house we love bully breeds and hate stigma <3

{not my video.} this. is NOT cute. or funny. at. all.

parents, either control your kids or put them on a leash if you can’t. I’m serious. you think it’s okay to let your kid go and just hit an animal like this??? it’s not. and you know what angers me even more than seeing your child abuse an animal? that if this poor dog were to rightfully defend himself and attack, because some random brat kept hitting him, he’d get put to sleep. and if this were the case here, I wouldn’t feel sorry for the damn kid, but I’d feel sorry for this beautiful, well-behaved animal. and I’m mad because it’d happened before, again and again, where a parent failed to teach their child to behave and said child went to abuse a dog and then the dog defended himself and attacked, and the one that got put down was the dog when all he did was defend himself from some brat who. attacked. him. first.

I’m glad this isn’t the case in this specific video because it would break my heart to see another good boy (the dog) get put down because of a brat and its parents who failed to keep their goddamn child from being an animal abuser.

this. is. not. okay.

the one that should be on a leash in this case is not the dog.

I’m not even sorry if I’m being rude here. it’s not okay for you as a parent to let your child hit an animal like this and think it’s oh-so cute then if said animal were to defend themself and attack back, they would be seen as an ‘aggressive animal’ and got put down.

if I see your child do this to my dog — or any other animal — believe me I will not stand by and do nothing.

either teach your kids to be kind and respectful to animals or put them on a leash if you can’t. or, better, use a condom.

To Become a Pack: Biscuit and Guruko

“We were looking for more ninken to add to our pack” he said, looking towards the place where the wolf-like dogs had run. “And I think we found them, right, guys?”

The other ninken nodded in agreement.

“Those guys?” Guruko said then, huffing. “I mean, sure, their size will be useful to you, but they are not the cleverer ones in the bunch, you can find others as big as them and with some more brain.”

“Not them” Kakashi laughed, “but you two.”

------------------------------------------

Today's chapter is a happy one! There is some violence and bad words among the ninken, but overall the story is nice and will probably make you laugh ;)

I wanted to write a more cheerful and calm past for Guruko and Biscuit, using it as an opportunity to show their snarky behavior, and I think I managed to do it!

Enjoy this short story about how they became members of Kakashi's pack, and don't forget to comment your thoughts about it <3

This is a honest question, but what is your opinion on the class of "Pitbull" dogs? In my experience they often seem to be like Malinois with being a "loaded gun intense dog" with how some owners talk about them, yet also aren't seen as able to do anything but fight.

Do you think they'd be good with sports? Like pulling, or sledding, or agility? Also on the Malinois, what do you think of the videos of them scaling walls, or put through such intense workouts?

I like American Pit Bull Terriers and other pit bull type dogs. I think they have a pleasing shape and I love their fat heads and how easily they seem to build muscle. If you're active, and don't need a dog that can be off leash or with other dogs necessarily, not into socializing with weird dogs yourself, they can be great companions. They are successful in weight pulling and generally love pull sports (all the weight pull clubs 'near' me are run by pit bull people). Overall I think many people have worked hard to maintain the dog as an active breed while finding other ways to satisfy the dog's need to work without falling into dog fighting. Weight pull, back packing, joring, wall climb and other individual sports are great options for these dogs. Hell I also know a ton that do hog work. In this way they are a lot like malamutes (besides the hog work, but one could argue this is very similar to the way indigenous sled dogs are used for hunting/polar bear security).

Where I feel the breed falls short is when people try to "de-intensify" the way they are talked about to combat breed bans and negative stigma (think 'velvet hippo' and 'it's all how you raise them' mentality). I think white rescue people get a big high over taking pit bulls out of what they deem as negative environments when in reality this dog is owned in majority by people of color in urban places. I think that LESS people need to own pit bulls because they are NOT velvet hippos or nanny dogs, they are instead an active, dog aggressive breed. There's nothing bad about that fact, it's just the truth. Like literally think of the nastiest Jack Russel Terrier you've ever met (and i think many people have met at least one REALLY ornery small terrier dog in their lifetime) and then make it 40-60 pounds. That's what a pit bull is at its core. A big ass terrier. I think the people that talk about these dogs in a way that is HONEST about the actual nature of these dogs (intense, strong, active and dog aggressive) are doing the breed a kindness. I think shelters and rescues trying to down play these very real, very breed standard in well bred pit bull types traits in these dogs to get them adopted are putting people in real danger. I think a lot of random bred pit bull type dogs have human aggression and I think we need to be more liberal with behavioral euthanasia for those individuals.

I like pit bull people that are in the breed for what the breed ACTUALLY is and respect that while not continuing the dog fighting horrors of their past and finding other, more positive ways to honor the dogs abilities. I HATE pit bull people that see them as capable of doing nothing wrong ever ever ever. The breed has, at its core, two very different types of camps that own them and unfortunately the later is more prominent.

And regarding Malinois I don't think that there's anything wrong with putting a dog through an intense workout. Malinois are truly incredible dogs and capable of so many things. The problem comes in for me when handlers expect and desire the dog to be overly stimulated and engaged 100% of the time. That's not healthy mentally for the dog and I also don't believe a dog can perform those tasks safely when they are quivering from stimulation. From a big dog owner perspective, I do wonder about the joint health of these dogs though honestly.

And to finish off, I do think there is a difference between talking honestly about a dog breed and the "loaded gun language" I so frequently complain about. Talking honestly about a breed is about acknowledging the differences and challenges a specific breed or type of dogs may have. Not every breed is suited for every person or situation and it is important to recognize this. "Loaded Gun" language, as often used with Malinois and Pit Bull types, is bragging about a dog's lack of manageability as if that is a good thing, as if the dog needs some super human or some sort of ridiculous schedule to act composed. In reality it feels like these people are overwhelmed by the dog they have created, a dog that has never been taught to settle, and are ignorantly talking pridefully about this to convince themselves that THEY are correct and there's nothing wrong. It's not bad to do intense dog sports, or to have a dog that loves and is driven to do said sports, but a good sport dog and/or working dog should be able to compose themselves. Without this ability they are not able to truly be a dog, existing simply as dog kind, and are just a tool with which people stoke their egos. If you're in it for the dog you will allow them to relax and settle, even if that has to be taught.
