Who has a big loveable dog

[GURUving]

that wouldn't hurt a flea, but is so huge it would scare the underwear off Godzilla?

I do. He's a huge dog. I would be scared of him if I didn't consent to feed him so much that I know he doesn't look at me as a defeathered turkey.

1. I do!!

Well, actually she's my sister's but my sister can't have dogs in her apartment so she left her at my mom's.

She's a HUGE red-nosed pit bull named Ali who is bigger than most school age children but so gentle and docile that she acts like a big puppy at times.

2. my sister has a French mastiff. Lots of jowls, lots of kissies. Looks like

a moose but is a kitten who likes to carry empty plastic
bottles in his mouth and crunch them. He does it because
he likes the sounds. When he can't find a bottle, he
carries a little blue dog dollie. :)

I have five dachshunds that scare people because they run
around barking and jumping up. They scare people worse than
big dogs but they only do that because they want to kiss
you.

3. I did--giant golden retriever

Slightly nasty as puppies, but once they are trained, the sweetest dog you'd ever want to won. Just invest in a nylabone, for the love of God, unless you want your jammies and socks torn to shreds as a lad. :)

(edit: not really mastiff big, but hey, I wanted to post in the thread)

4. Used to...

our current dog would definitely hurt a flea and most anything else. Oddly enough, anything young she's okay with. She likes to have babies. New kittens make her happy. She's a purebred German Shepherd.

Our old dog definitely wouldn't hurt a flea. She was a shepherd pitbull mix. Picture the jaw of a pitbull with the markings of a German Shepherd. We lived in a bad area at the time and used to walk her off leash. Watch the thug guy cross the street. She also loved kittens. She befriended this one alley cat by us that we named "Charlie." We always said that when we moved out of the city, we'd take Charlie with us. Charlie was poisoned (by a priest no less) and we still regret not taking him in before we moved out.

5. I do! 2 of them! Rudy and Pal.....

Rudy is a red mutt I picked up on a midtown Memphis street as a 6 wk old. Found him with a slash on his belly and a rope asphyxiating him, terrified and in the freezing rain. Today he is 90 lbs, adores me and is a helluva watch dog.

Pal was a throw-away collie (huge--maybe 90, 100 lbs) by his ex- owner whose mother wanted to kill him because he barked too much. A coworker with collie rescue asked me to help out last yr. He is now outside happily howling at distant dogs in the night.

They live on 2 acres in east TN with two hound dogs.

Neither one of them trusts other people; is it any wonder? :*

6. A Labrador Retriever

he weighs 100 pounds. I can give him a piece of meat, a child can stick their hand in his mouth and grab the meat, he will open his mouth and back up, tail wagging the whole time.

7. Dogs

Dogs are the only things that make me doubt the nonexistance of God.

8. My Brother Has Two of Them

Flipper, who is half St Bernard, quarter Husky and quarter wolf and Elvis, who seems to be some lab/newfie mix. Both are rescued dogs, and my brother did an excellent job of socializing them, so while they may look imposing, the only danger they pose is drooling.

9. My basset hound Muggsie is big ...

... if you gauge "big" by length and weight. I almost had a hernia the last time I had to lift her. I'll bet she's up to 75 pounds now. And she is loveable, except when she's being a pain in the butt.

10. Me, I do I do,

My lovable moose of a golden retreiver, Pal, whom is happily sucking down breakfast next to me as I type.

11. I have a 100-pound Rottweiler.

But she is a real sweetheart. Loves kids and other dogs, but is intimidating enough that people cross the street when they see her when we are out for a walk. And she also helps to deter anyone thinking of breaking into my house. I have had 2 neighbors that were burglarized. Legend has a big bark, even though if someone did break in, she would run the other way.

13. I've met some real affable Rottweilers

They're great fun to have around.

[RebelOne]

16. Yes, they are the greatest dogs ever.

Legend is my second Rottie. My Bear Bear died in 1999. And then I adopted Legend. Rotties are very laid-back dogs.

12. I have a cocker spaniel who is pretty huge

He weighs about fifty pounds, black and white, name is Tuxedo. His bark would intimidate anyone if they didn't notice his stubby tail wagging at the same time. My five pound Yorkie walks a wide path around him.

14. My dad does!

He has Gilgamesh, aka Gillie, who is a 110 or so lb. Newfie/Lab cross (we think) -- large, black and white, and has front paws that look like chocolate chip ice cream. Lots of hair, too. :) He would definitely hurt a flea, though, and used to have a thing for catching the neighbours' cats, but with all people, most other dogs, and all the extended family's cats (including my grandma's cat, Buddy, who is my mom's black-and-white cat's son, and who he played with when Buddy was a kitten), he's great. He even gets along well with my cat, Nero, if and when Nero stays at my parents' house. (Then again, Nero likes dogs, even really, really big ones, like Neopolitan Mastiffs.) My parents have three cats (well, my mom has two cats and my sister has one) and the dog.

15. Big and Loving...

Woe to anyone who dares cross her path...She's likely to lick them to death.

17. Awww!! She does look sweet.
