Tell me about your dogs personality
Discussion
I love the pictures thread it often leaves me wondering what they are like. We had dogs in the family all our lives. Our last one was a gsd who died when I was around 14 but my grandparents on both sides always had dogs. All kinds of terriers usually.
So although I'm aware of dogs my current boy is new after a long long gap of having my own. The thing is and this is another reason why I'm asking he's an absolute mental case. I'm wondering if this is just a breed thing or a working dog thing.
He's my best mate, I love him more than life but he's also a huge pain in the arse ( in a good way) it might be his age but he never ever settles down other owners have described acds as your best mate on crack which seems to fit quite well. It's why we love him, we find him hilarious he's just a bundle of life but also like some kind of wild animal.
One of his most endearing and pain in the arse traits is his stubbornness he will absolutely not give up ever. Yes he was a breeze to train he is smarter than me and will leave and sit and do all kinds of things but if he wants something he wants it, you can put him off, for a while and he he will sit and stare and jump on you after a while and bark and stare and jump some more. But he will never ever be satisfied until you get what he wants.
Other dogs I've known after a while will go in their baskets and sleep or just give up, not him oh no. And that's another thing sleep. He never actually does it during the day or evening. He has a human sleep patern, all night but 7:30 he's up and you are up because well he won't stop until you are. The more exercise he gets the more he wants. 3 hour walk? Sleep, nope let's play ball, get me that toy, now get me that toy. I don't remember any of my grandparents dogs being like that, yeah they were excited to go out but when back just slept or mooched around.
So is he just strange or are your dogs like that too?

sometimes like this morning, me and my other half will be up and dressed before he's even bothered to move off the bed.

You mean you don't get a 20kg dog launching himself at full speed landing on your chest smashing his concrete head into yours then licking you to death until you get up and give him his breakfast. Heaven .
Strange about getting In your spot. Logan doesn't do that in the sofa but he does in the bed. He generally won't sleep in the bed if he does its at our feet only for 5 minutes then he gets off. As soon as I go in the shower he's in my spot and when I walk out he jumps down again. Very strange. Pity because I'd like him up there he's so soft. I keep telling him I'm going to make a jumper out him.
On the sofa he will jump up again only for a few minutes but then he's down at your feet spends more time with the girls on the sofa than me for some reason yet when he was a pup he was always on me. He will go in his crate from time to time but he's almost always at your feet. If not its in the back of the sofa somewhere near your head.

Personality? They're just dogs, you silly people.
Like having loving, entertaining, hairy retards living in your house.
I love my two, but they're just here for our amusement.
