Never thought about that , I just like to have a doggo as my companion.

Good luck with your hobby ,anon. Seems to be a hard thing to accomplish.

Just in my experience for dealing with a variety of breeders, hobbyists have tended to be the best because they aren't trying to making a living off of their dogs, it's a labor of love more than anything

That said all the good ones I've dealt with have basically been rich people with a lot of time on their hands so hopefully you've got a huge property and trust fund OP

The fuck do you expect it to do? Cry? Mourn?

>>2305073
Eat.

>>2305075
Your dog doesn't generally hop on the counter and freak out while you're eating, does it? It's a hunting dog. Of course it's trained not to maul and devour everything.

Get a breed with a similar energy level to you. If you are active and like walking/running/hiking get an energetic breed like a working dog. If you are lazy as balls get a dog that doesn't need exercise. Also be prepared to spend lots of time training it and just hanging out with it. You may have other friends but your dog has only you.

>>2304878

Uhhh what dog doesnt need exercise?

>>2304881
A botato

>>2304728
looks like a little turd

>>2304731
It was crawling around slowly. It was maybe 2-4 mm in size.

>>2304728
How is anyone supposed to tell from that pic? Looks like a junior mint that got stepped on.

>>2304702
They don't judge your musical taste.

>>2304702
Define dumb.
Incapable of learning commands easily, simple and barely feeling like a cockroach, or people underestimate it because of stereotypes and misinterpretation?

Kind of off topic but my gf and i went to a farm supply store once to get some tools, and they had live baby chicks for sale.

one bin had 'breeding chicks' or something of that nature, and they ran from our hands when we reached into try and pet them

another box just had 'meat birds' written on it, and they all ran towards our hands, assuming we were there to give them food.

I don't think I've laughed so hard in a store before, would definitely consider a meat bird as a pet.

I dont know what YBS is but this looks like a turtle pond. Maybe use some plywood and wood screws to secure the filter and the lamp. The stone slope looks a little steep. If it is a turtle pond you probably should add a UV lights it's good for the shell.

>>2304685
That looks so shallow that the turtle can probably peek out the head while standing on all fours.

>>2304693
YBS stands for Yellow bellied slider.
That is a UV light, and my turtle has climbed steeper rocks than that.

Living in less than 1500 square feet without a backyard, that's the best I can work with until summer when I can buy something bigger.
My turtle is only around 7-8 inches long.

>A ball python named Monty or Nagini
>Snakes with names of gods of death/other morbid shit

I had 2 female mice, black one was Minni and the reddish-brown was Ginger.

>pic partially related; my snake Nikki (was Nikolai before properly sexed)

I had a guy try to buy a ball python off of me and wanted to name her Drusilla. He was going to get her but then he and his gf told a 'hilarious' story about how their kid threw a turtle against the wall. They weren't sure if it was dead or not so they flushed it.

Also to add to the list, the names India and China. No one ever names their pets Canada, Kenya, Vietnam, etc. Usually theyre small dogs or fancy looking cats.

Oh I've got some for you

>huskies named Luna
>malamutes or shepherds named Thor
>JRTs named jack
>small dogs named Lady
>labs named buddy
>pitbulls named bruiser
>hens named Henrietta
>snakes named ekans

I had a cat named fluffy growing up. Otherwise the names I've given haven't been super common

Or like this

Those are equally made from deer bones. Cow bones would also work.
You can also use antlers. A popular choice is using deer and alligator mandibles.

Bone is more fragile than you might think so I wouldn't use them for any serious cutting but they look nice and people buy them. I've been meaning to make a folding knife out of small jaws.

>>2304576
Oh yeah, I wouldn't use them they'd just be for show. I know a few people who would buy, too
Thank you, anon, cow will be very convenient for me

>>2304525
Yeah I Can relate to the whole situation because Over the years my mom moved on from father to father who she each built a relationship that lasted a couple years or so and basically had a kid with each one (I have five dads and four siblings, but Im hoping this dad is the last) because she has now matured because she is 30? But even so Im thankful for each and every one of my siblings and love them all equally and I just cant bring myself to hate my mom at all because I know what she did was for us to live a better life and she wanted that truly for all her kids but Im rambling so gtg

>>2304528
Ty anon, mum was with this bloke for 12 yrs until I through him out when was 17. I have my little brother now who's 12 which just made it so difficult to put doggo down since she's be mine 15 out of my 19 years alive

>>2304532
Yeah Life isnt easy but push through and keep moving forward

>>2304286
Hmm, while it's almost always just a mutt in threads like these, this one looks like it could actually be a Polish Hound. Could also just be a very similar mutt though. Maybe someone with more knowledge about the breed could say for sure.

Crows are very intelligent and have good memories. They probably figured you would feed them like previous people have.

Did you feed them?

>>2304225
Yeah I did

>>2304209

That crow is really kawaii.

Lmfao someone wants to fuck a sheep and have it as a lover

Thanks for the compliment and bump anon. He definitely is :)

And he's generally very well trained/behaved, but he doesn't give a single fuck about fetch and some days going on a run with him just isn't feasible so another means of tiring him out would be good. Plus since he's too smart for his own good figured he would enjoy ability.

pic of him as a lil pupper

>>2304054
that's just what happens when you cross a husky with a pitbull. see you when you get mauled next week
