Why are my eyes leaking?
🎶If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you🎵
You did it. You crazy son of a bitch, you did it.
I’d love a worg for a pet
But am I still allowed to pet?
If theres wolves in the mix, then no. They’re emotionally different from dogs, though they can be very loving they can express their loving nature by biting and holding onto people, not allowing them to leave without them.
Long distance air pats it is!
Breed every type of dog in a huge bracket and end up with the ultimate mutt. It will probably live 20 years.
Definitely seen mutts reach that age. The key is to just have a small mutt that doesn’t have any purebred ancestors for the last few generations at least.
Mutts aren’t guaranteed to live longer, it’s all about which genes were dominant. Healthy Genetics aren’t guaranteed to overwrite unhealthy ones and they’re also not immune to being overwritten, and all of the dog breeds genetics would overlap such that the more recent breeds in the list would be very pronounced and the most distant would be barely noticeable if any traits remained.
Sir this is a memes Lemmy.
Lmao Wooosh
Poor doggies would probably have hip dysplasia.
So, the thing is, the genes for size don’t add up or multiply, they overlap and the dominant ones win. If your goal is bigger then it’s better to just pick the biggest ones from many litters and breed them, as is the origin of many of the large breeds listed.
Pictured here is Irish Wolfhound.
The first time I saw one of those was in person, and also the weirdest place. Was installing internet for a small business and they had a California king size bed in an office right behind the reception desk and this giant fucking dog was taking up the entire bed.
I hella want one so my huge ass could ride a dog like a horse. They are that big.
TBH I kind of like small dogs. If trained with proper strictness and authority they’re just as likely to attack babies and small animals as a big dog but far less capable of doing harm. I wouldn’t trust dogs with their own litters, I barely trust people to be rational so I would never expect a dog to just “be good.”
I would never expect a dog to just “be good.”
Nobody should. They need to be taught what is good and bad just like a person. If you want a pet that can basically care for itself, get a cat.
I dunno, she doesn’t look that big.
While that is using a bit of forced perspective, they are big dogs.
I knew someone with one and it could lick the dirty plates in the sink without having to jump on, or even reach over, the counter.
I think he weighed just over 200 pounds.
So, like short-hair Tibetan Mastiffs, or just straight up grizzlies, then? I mean, at some point on that arc, you leave “canine” behind and find out for yourself what that mage who invented owlbears must’ve felt — before being formally introduced to their own intestines.
Sounds great. Just make sure it also gets the genes for strong hip ligaments. And the dopey friend genes that all labradors tend to have.
And then breed it to look like a polar bear sized grey wolf.
We had a dog until recently (RIP my sweet girl) that was part Tennessee Tree walker who was also part Pyrenese (this was all confirmed by DNA test because no one could figure out what she was.) The result was that she was 2-3X as big as any other tree walker. Picture a beagle that stood waist high to an average man, Great Dane sized.
Now imagine if we did this with a Chihuahua,
Ah, so that’s where chupacabras come from.
We need to revive other mega fauna first, otherwise they’ll just eat us as the next best choice. Big predators require big prey.
“Otherwise”? By the proximity alone inherent in the implied domesticity, humans’d never be off-menu.
Baleen whales would like a word
It’s going to cost a fortune to feed that beast.
And he’s going to hog the bed.
Don’t forget walks.
That dog doesn’t “get taken” for a walk, it’ll take you for a walk. Or a drag.
Add a dash of beagle for pure mayhem.
good idea
