Thinking of getting an older rottie as my first dog. Anyone know anything about the breed besides the obvious?

In two years time I plan to get a rottie too OP, but as a puppy and will be putting it in a schultzhund program.
From what I read about rotties, they're a VERY dominant dog breed, long line of working animals from Germany. Very loyal and powerful breed.
Not recommended for a first time owner. They require a lot of training.

I've been volunteering at the animal shelter to get used to general dog maintenance. I'm dealing with a variety of breeds, but just wanted any info from people that may have had one before.
>>2363329
I'm not opposed to training, I can seek out professional training too. I'm reading into the schultzhund program right now since you mentioned it. It's very cool

Regale me with tales of or just plain facts about the most poisonous/venomous animals.
I don't know why but I had a strange fascination with these sorts of animals.
>pic related
I remember reading something about a guy who stepped on one of these sneaky bastards and he begged the doctors to amputate his leg because the pain was so fucking brutal

What about plants? Dendrocnide moroides (common names include Gympie-Gympie and Suicide Plant) has an incredibly painful toxin. Apparently the pain can persist for weeks, even years and has driven people to madness.
There's a rumor a person shot himself after using it as toilet paper rather than suffer the agony.

Why do dog lovers talk about cats so much?
>>
>>2362725
They feel inferior because they know their mutts are disgusting, don't clean themselves and eat their own shit and vomit and others shit and vomit, love to roll around in said filth, yet humans are so narcissistic they'll claim dogs are the best because dogs literally exist to feed a humans ego
Cats are celebrated and worshipped as godlike beings in more cultured places than America, as well as the Internet, so it gives them a complex.

I live in CT and I have a question about local laws relating to birds, specifically ducks. If I have a pond in my back yard and a duck decides to nest there can I legally capture and kill that duck without any sort of permit?

local laws don't apply. Federal law does.
you can't take a duck on your own property without the required hunting license/stamp.
the land is yours, the wildlife isn't.
>>
>>2362732
this
ALL migratory birds are protected by federal law. removing them without the proper permits can get you slapped with a big ass fine.
>>
>>2362721
no because it's a migratory bird. what the fuck is your problem anyway?

Just had my 5 1/2 border collie/Lab mix put down.
>had a build up of fluid in her abdomen
>took her to the vet to find out whats going on
>not sure if puppies or infected uterus but they wanna do exploratory surgery
>was perfectly fine still running and playing, wagging at the interns and shaking hands with people
>hour later
>she had a 10 lb tumor from her uterus that had spread and was connected to her lungs
>also tiny spots of what looked like tumors on her other organs
>had lost much blood
>chances of her making it off the operating table were tiny
>even if she had made it off the table they said she could still likely pass away at any time and doubtful she would have lived past 6 months with how aggressive the tumor(s) were spreading
>even the Doctor said he's never seen a tumor as large and aggressive as it was in a dog
Already through a 6 pack and about to go dig her a hole, going to pick her up in the morning to bury her
Will post pic(s) when I find em

I don´t like them, well, the english ones, the american bulldogs are OK
Why?
They are fat, I don´t like the extremely squished face and I think they are ugly with their short legs, they also have trouble breathing (as all short nosed dogs)
but that´s just my opinion

I really love chimpanzees, all homonoids really.
I'd love to one day work with bonobos in a sanctuary.

I've been extreme with most animals but chimpanzees frighten me. They are the only other creature capable of hate.

Nope. Not chimps. Doesn't anyone remember the one that totally snapped and ate that lady?

Chimps no way. Bonobos are a lot more chill though

Hello /an/, I found this birb in a grass yard in a city, Netherlands. It was super tame and sat on my hand. I think it's somebody pet birb that got out / was dumped and I wanted to take it to the vet. It was perfectly healthy and flown away after I walked it abit.

OP posting about how he found and caught a bird in spring makes it sound like one of those "I found a baby bird and took it away from its parents, what do I do now" threads. However, in my opinion the bird in that photo doesn't really seem to have typical baby bird qualities, such as the distinctive yellow rims on the beak. I think it looks like an adult Eurasian blackcap female.
Blackcaps aren't kept as pets though, and I'm not sure why the bird allowed OP to catch it. Maybe it was dizzy from hitting a window or something, and it needed some time to recover before it could fly away?
