I love cats and dogs. I have a cat, but I guess I do prefer dogs just because they are so much more affectionate(sp) Cats do not behave so well either. with a dog, you can teach the dog tricks, and stuff like that. Cats seem to just want to do their own thing and not be bothered by us. if you have a child, most breeds of dogs are very loving and protective of the child. All-in-all, dogs make a much better pet all the way around. Also, there is nothing cuter in the world than a fat golden retriever pup.

I dunno. They both taste pretty good.

But I'd say dogs are a wee bit tastier.

Is there really any choice? Cats are for women, the elderly, the mentally infirmed &, well, for dogs to play with.

No offense to any cats lover but if a jew was an animal, what better animal than a cat? They only show you affection when they want something and the rest of the time they think you're beneathe them. They are fat, lazy, selfish and deceitful.

Dogs are truly the aryan's best friend. Not too bright, but 100 percent loyal, noble, and not a thought of deception in their heads.

Dogs are meant to be with their master - wherever he his, including inside his home. Cats are dog food, even big cats. Here the glorious Dogo Argentino prepares his next meal:

Man saved from Moose attack by, yes, his trusty dog:

Eielson man, dog narrowly escape moose attack

EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Max the dog is sore — and so is his owner, Master Sgt. John Denning, 354th Transportation Squadron first sergeant. Running through knee-deep snow from an angry moose with rude intentions is no easy task, they’d say.

When Denning set out Feb. 5 to walk Max, his lanky, hyperactive, six-month old black Labrador retriever, he noticed the sky was darker than usual. He and Max take morning walks between 5 and 6 a.m. every weekday, and usually have some moonlight reflecting off the snow.

"The moon was real low in the sky," Denning said. "I almost decided to turn back, but didn’t."

He and Max had made it almost home from their normal daily walk — nearly two miles from the Denning’s housing area to nearby Bear Lake and back — when he heard an unfamiliar tromping sound in the darkness. Denning, who has only been in Alaska since August, turned to see the looming silhouette of a "very large" moose coming toward him, ears back, in a dead run.

"I knew right away either something behind her scared her or she was after me."

Denning ran.

"I thought if I could get near the woods she’d back off," Denning explained. The moose caught up with Max in the road and flung her hooves wildly at the dog. "I heard Max’s high-pitched yelping and kept heading toward the woods."

A wounded Max got away from the attacking moose and ran toward his owner. Denning continued moving away from the moose, along the Alaska Railroad’s right-of-way, hoping to end the confrontation — but the moose followed, and grew closer.

"She was fast. She had such long legs ... nothing was slowing her down."

Then Denning fell in the snow. He was holding still and fearing the worst when man’s best friend circled behind the angry beast, who was now standing over the NCO. The moose turned to chase the dog, giving Denning a chance to continue his escape.

"I really don’t know what would’ve happened, but when you’re ‘there’ and the moose is staring down at you, you think the worst."

Denning scrambled to his feet and bolted through the woods toward the glowing lights of Heritage Park; but not before noticing the moose calf loping along behind its mother, watching the events transpire.

A hint: Authorities, such as the University of Alaska Police, say a moose with a calf nearby will be especially aggressive when protecting its young. Denning, however, saw neither the moose nor its calf before the attack.

The aggressive nature of this moose’s defense pushed Denning, and presumably his dog, to their limits.

"I’m used to working out, but I’ve never been motivated to work to exhaustion — then keep going. I’m still a little sore."

Once at Heritage Park, Denning and Max took refuge under a pavilion, and watched the moose through the dark stands of trees as she lurked and watched them.

He decided to walk home along Central Avenue, a busier road that sports wide easements on either side. The moose never emerged from the forest again, but Denning said he worried a little during the walk home. Max worried too, threading himself in and out of Denning’s legs trying to get as close as he could to his owner.

Although the trip home took him near where he thought the moose and her calf were still lingering — and where wildlife have been spotted many times — he didn’t see or hear them again.

Once back home, Denning sat on his living room floor to rest and reflect.

"My kids thought it was cool," Denning said. "I was just cold."

Max is none the worse for wear, playing like any large puppy with Denning’s children, John Patrick, 8, and Gwendoline, 7.

"He’s been acting pretty sore. He still has some marks on his snout, but the swelling has gone down."

Denning was stressed, but unhurt. He remains concerned for others walking, jogging, or traveling on a snow machine through the area.

"You can see places in the woods where kids have built forts, there are trails all over the place and lots of people run on the road. I’m concerned about that now."

Alaskans know moose encounters can be deadly. The University of Alaska Police said while moose may appear docile and tame, and may even eat out of human hands, they are still wild, unpredictable animals that have attacked and killed humans. (Courtesy of Pacific Air Forces News Service)

Tips from UAP:

-- Never feed a moose. Feeding of any wild game is dangerous and against the law. Anyone caught feeding or harassing a moose will be charged. No pun intended.

-- Turn the other way. If you suddenly happen upon a moose — stop where you are, slowly turn and quietly walk away. (Officials say it’s OK to run away as fast as you can, as Denning did. — Ed.)

-- Recognize the signs of an angry moose. Moose can become aggressive without warning or reason, especially during mating season. Their hair will bristle like an angry dog’s, and they will lower their head and paw at the ground. A moose with a calf nearby will be especially aggressive when protecting its young.

If you see a calf moose, turn and walk slowly and quietly away while keeping a wary eye out for mother moose.

I must now depart this exhilarating conversation. Why? Because I don't own a thesaurus, and will surely be vanquished by the Mooseophile; and, last but not least, the dogs must have their nightly stroll to frighten the local Mestizos back to Aztecia-ville.

How very kind of you, Mr. Polemicist.

While I was enjoying the darkies scurry around (in the face of my little odd menagerie of 500lbs-of-hate performing my own "keep the neighborhood clean" nightly routine), I had an epiphany: you're simply bitter that your antlered pal isn't regarded, in any way shape or form, as a sane person's version of a domestic pet, nor was he included amongest the available choices.

Consequently, your mis-placed anger is but a ruse to veil this. See, you can't fool me, Midgard man. Us Americans have Fox news & Jorge Bush, so we know everything. We rule the world, as if you didn't know.

Yep, the Dobi is a very regal animal. J. M. Le Pen has a matching pair. :)

I don't know if it's the same with the Doberman, but at least in the Boxer, light-eyes & white colouring are a defect. I think they look really cool, but they're more prevelant to being blind and/or deaf.

Here's an article you might find of interest. It deals with the German dog ban laws & the Red/Green attacks on our animals. Dobis & Rottis are on the secondary ban list, too. What is scary, is the fact that 74% of Germans supported the ban. From what I was told, by a dog judge from France recently, that many people went "on the lamb" to protect their pets. These people people are truly deranged.

http://www.hund-und-halter.de/ber-u-gesch/material/seiten/Eve4.html

Each of the country's 16 provinces (or states) has created their own list of targeted breeds. For example, in Northrhine-Westphalia (Nordhein-Westfalen), the most populated province in Germany (17.6 million), seven breeds have the most stringent restrictions placed on them. The condemned seven (American Staffordshire terrier, pit bull, Staffordshire bull terrier, Mastin de Espanol (Spanish mastiff), Dogue de Bordeaux (French mastiff) and Dogo Argentino (Argentinian mastiff), and (Neopolitan mastiff) are designated as highly dangerous dogs (referred to as Appendix One dogs). "The ultimate goal is clearly to annihilate these breeds," Steffen says.

In addition, 26 dog breeds - including the Doberman, Rottweiler and Briard - are listed in appendix two - requiring special government approval before they can be owned. Appendix three includes any dog (mixed breed or purebred) that happens to weigh over 44 lbs, and these dogs also have restrictions placed upon them....

Olga Mechnar owns a Doberman who has several obedience titles. Her dog has served as a search and rescue dog, and he's credited with saving a life. Today, Mechnar is fears taking her dog outside Hessen, the province where she lives. For one thing, she doesn't know exactly what the restrictions are from province to province since the bans vary and are so confusing.

Mechner says in an interview on the Internet, "My dog was once a hero. Today, people call me obscene names if I walk down the street with my dog. I mostly walk (the dog) late at night."...

Mobs and thugs are already at work: A purebred Dogue de Bordeaux was doused with fuel and set on fire, it seems that a six month Rottweiler was tortured and killed the same way. A three months old Rhodesian Ridgeback died excruciatingly by poison, people had put on a walking trail in Kiel. In Lübeck some dog-owners found pieces of saussage filled with razor-blades. In Berlin a group of men injured a Pitbull seriously by kicking the totally defenceless animal, the dog had been tied up and was wearing a muzzle. Near Hannover a drunken man threatened to shoot a Bullterrier, pointing a gun at dog and owner. All over Germany dogs are kicked by passers-by and slandered as bloody beasts. This is even happening to small dogs and puppies of any breed.

What accounts for this strange hysteria? Is this another example of Bolshevik insanity? Maybe the fact that few Africans and Muslims keep dogs make them un-PC. Also the Koran proscribes dogs as unclean. If Germany wants to elimninate dangerous animals they should expel the Third Worlders in their midst.

Cobbers,
I'm afraid I had to vote for NEITHER.

Neither cat nor dog. Y 'see here in Tasmania I'm a bit of a Quoll man ;) .

For those of you who havent heard of Quolls, they combine the best of both worlds.

A quoll is a cute fur-encrusted mammalian cat-beast thing but has dog like qualities in that if it sinks its teeth into your neck it will literally bite your head off. They make excellent Pets for Children.

Cute, furry, affectionate, excellent guard dogs (Guard quolls?), the cat-like ability to leap a 12 foot tall Dingo Fence(not that we have any of those here in Tasmania), in short the answer to all who love cats and dogs and cant decide what to have. Have neither, get a Quoll instead.

I hope a Quoll-link wont be off topic, but once bitten by a Quoll, never forgotten .

White Dobermans are considered a genetic defect and are not allowed to compete in any AKC events. They have a lot of problems, mostly with their coats. It wasn't long ago that blues and fawns were also considered genetic defects but AKC now allows them. Same thing with white German Shepherds.

I didn't know that about G. Shepards. Look at this mug on the white Boxer. No light-eyes, which is odd, though. Boxers are the best family dogs imaginable, and they still have that no-nonsense look that keeps the darkies away.

Your husband is a smart fella, Demonica. :D Boxers aren't as bright as the G.S., but mine is a lot smarter than my other two dogs. (I seriously think my Great Dane is retarded.) They, Boxers, hardly shed in the slightest, I'd guess he only sheds about 10% as much as my Dane or Douge. Another benefit is they don't have that "dog" odor, especially as when other dogs get wet. I caught my ex-wife's son whacking Patton with a stick a couple of times, and he still guarded the lil' bugger with his life on one occasion involving a prowler. One drawback that get a lot of them into Boxer rescue or the pound, is people aren't aware how active the are. They're non-stop springs on four legs. High energy hardly says it all. Okay, Boxer rant over.

[I realize that Dr. Pierce had his beloved cat Hadley, but then he was given to certain personal idiosyncrasies for which he should be forgiven. Speaking in general terms, however, the dog symbolizes the Aryan virtues of loyalty, trust, and courage. The cat, on the other hand, represents the jewish characteristics of stealth, infidelity, and greed. Dogs require training, patience, and an investment of time to become the faithful companion known as “man’s best friend.” More accurately, the dog should be called “White man’s best friend,” because it was White man who first domesticated him. Niggers in fact have a legendary fear of dogs. This fear is usually justified, because most dogs, mine included, simply don’t like niggers. This is instinct, not training. Just try to tell Skipper there is no such thing as race and it is just a social construct!]

No offense, but I think it is a bit of a stretch to link domestic cats to Jews. lol

I don't mind dogs, but prefer cats. I think I can only own a Maine Coon breed though. Every part of this cat is suited for harsh New England weather. Noted for their dog-like personalities, and from my experience Maines are not aloof at all, and like constant attention.
