All I want for my 21st birthday is a fucking DACHSHUND! Is that too much to ask?

I have searched the shelters, papers, and pet shops to no avail. I'm willing to pay up to 175$. I think Jesus just hates my guts.

IF YOU LOVE ME, BUY ME A WEINER DOG! Or if you know where I can get one, plz inform. Kthnxxx.

errrm, aren't you in debt up to your eyeballs and were just asking us to by some of your personal items to raise cash? As someone who likes to behave like a friend, I can't ignore the disparity and not say anything about the obvious disparity between the seriousness of your apparrent finacial situation and the logical disconnect you're exhibiting by even thinking about spending $175 for a dog (not to mention the ongoing costs to care for that dog). ARE YOU CRAZY!?

I'm going to be living alone in a dangerous neighboorhood 2 hours from anyone who cares about me. I don't want to buy a gun.

ARE YOU CRAZY? I do not long to be raped.

The dog won't help much, particularly a Dachshund, in that case... I personally would get a gun and learn to shoot it. Or at the very least mace.

I also do not have the money for a gun, much less money for the permit.

Something tells me you're rationalizing why you should spend more money... uh_oh March 18 2006, 03:07:05 UTC
because the only thing a Dachshund will do is make a rapist laugh himself silly! lol. If you seriously think you need a protection dog (and are not just trying to figure out how to spend money you don't have on things you WANT, ie, cute little Dachshund), then get a real protection dog, like a BIG ASS German Shepard or LEAN MEAN Doverman. (Don't get a Pitbull, they are way too hard to train and handle.)

Hope you're doing okay in school. I'm going to start studying C++ next week! I can't wait.

My apartment complex only allows me to have dogs under 20 pounds when full grown, thankyouverymuch.

Pit bulls aren't great protection dogs anyway - most will lick an attacker to death before it would bite. They're more useful for protection against other dogs than anything...
But really, they aren't THAT hard to train or handle - I've worked with a fair share of them in shelters, and I find them pretty easy going as long as they get excerised enough.

But yeah - a Dachshund will just cost a fortune, dig through carpet and cause a lot of stress...and not really intimidate anyone.

I'm just wanting something that will bark to wake me up - not tear an intruder to pieces.

I guess I should have voiced my true fear, that a Pit Bull would end up harming her or someone else. They're the only dog I've heard of attacking and killing people.

You sound like you know a LOT about dogs. Is this perception just an overblown mass media stereotype? Have other breeds of dogs killed people like the pit bull has? Are other breeds instinctively as lethal?

I'm sorry this is long winded - but I had a lot to say - thank you for asking riot_grrl March 22 2006, 00:20:01 UTC
From research I've done on US based dog bites/fatalities, I've found there is an estimated population of 55 millions dogs in the United States. There are approximately 20 human deaths per year due to a dog attack ( ... )

I had a feeling... uh_oh March 22 2006, 01:58:31 UTC
you'd know all the facts. You should hear my Dad rave about how Pit Bulls should be outlawed. I wasn't aware of the truth either, but I was more skeptical and cautious. A classmate of mine raises them and had to put up with a barrage of negative questions about them. Thank you for clarify the issue for me.

I've heard cockerspaniels are dumber than most dogs, is that true? Something about their being so inbred.

Your dog is cute. He looks alert and happy.

Cockerspaniels and labs are becoming so horribly inbred, that severe aggression is coming out in these breeds..
That's why pet stores should not be allowed to sell dogs at all, and that's also why backyard breeding shouldn't be allowed.

I have met some AMAZING cockers - but the majority - and I'm far from breedist - I love ALL dogs - have had SOME kind of severe temperment issue...
We have two on our street who have attacked me and my fiance several times, and who have attacked my own dog (my dog outweighs them by about 30 pounds and could seriously hurt them if he was given the chance...) but the owners do nothing - and the complaints I've filed have been ignored.

It's frustrating what those of us who have well behaved, well trained dogs have to go through because we choose to own a dog over 30 pounds - all because of the choices of a few.
