I mean if you want a pet wouldn't you want it to be friendly and non dangerous? No, if you want that I hope your dog gets killed by coyotes. Stupid pussy, had it coming. Yikes |

I guess it stands to reason you'd have a boner for friendly breeds. Actually it's a common theme that people who hate tough dogs love retrievers. Taipan looooved retrievers, which is possibly subconsciously part of the reason I dislike them. Joe Rogan also, terrified of any kind of dangerous animal to a silly degree but loves golden retrievers. It's odd to me to value something specifically for how harmless it is. To be that influenced by fear. I think it's actually sad when an animal is totally harmless. That doesn't make me happy, I pity the animal. I mean if you want a pet wouldn't you want it to be friendly and non dangerous? You're right, "friendly" isn't the word. There's nothing friendlier on this earth than the dogs I like. Boarhounds, wolfhounds, staghounds, etc. They just also aren't wimps and can kill things. I think it's actually mean to make dogs that can't look after themselves, and weird to begrudge them that basic right as a living organism. |

I gave my answer on golden retrievers and other dogs: To be fair, the golden retriever was a popular dog in my neighborhood as well as my city. I guess for me it might be a familiarity issue more than wanting a harmless furry friend. I like pointer dogs and border collies. I also like certain spitz breeds. I wish to see a greyhound's speed with my naked eye. I do think a rat terrier would be useful in a dirty, rundown area. Last but not least, the foxhounds have some great asthetics, or they seem to be visually appealing imho. |

I like all those dogs except Golden Retrievers. And I wouldn't hate a golden retriever "personally", they're very nice dogs and I'd pat one and rub it's belly and call it a good dog or whatever, but they're just very uninteresting to me from my specific dog appreciation angle. My passion for dogs has a difficult time incorporating retrievers, especially golden retrievers which may be the most far removed from any utilitarian function. But even the utilitarian working retriever is about as uninteresting as a working dog can be. I mean it's in the name; retrieving.... Ahh who cares? Can't think of a less interesting aspect of hunting to focus on as a dog type. "You, my human friend, you do everything while I just wait, and then when it's all over I'll go retrieve the bird and gently carry its carcass back to you and ... that's it."
Ok? What in that could possibly inspire me to say "fuck yeah"?
Dogs are their function to me and that is just an unusually uncool and uninteresting one.
If instead of hunting and killing gaur and sambar in the jungles of south Asia there was another type of tiger that did peoples' taxes in an apartment in Brooklyn, I imagine most tiger fans wouldn't really care for that subspecies of tiger very much. Now some wouldn't care, because they're weirdos who like tigers only for their appearance and don't know shit about them anyway, but a legit tiger fan would consider the "Panthera Tigris Accountantiensis" of Brooklyn to be the gayest and lamest of all the tigers. Whether these tigers were nice guys or not would be beside the point, that's not why you get into liking tigers.
If you present the argument for golden retrievers that they're "lovely" it just tells me you don't appreciate dogs in the way I do. They're a joke to you, basically. You like them maybe but you don't respect them.
