Are all city dogs as neurotic as their owners?

If you buy shit you get shit.
Hunting breeds aren't scared of shit if you get them from a decent breeder.

This. My dogs sleep through fireworks, thunderstorms, love the smell of hoppes #9, and sit by the door ready to go when I get a shotgun.

Yeah standards were bred to hunt waterfowl. Toy poodles are for people who want a small neurotic dog with minimal to no shedding.

My pug is running around in circles. It's funny as hell. Those serious dog owners are stiff shits. Such serious assholes should just join the army and get shot to hell once and for all!

Considering most people in cities live in apartments (which are usually small spaces; esp when furnished), it makes sense to have a small dog, if any pet.

Even a small dog can alert and give comfort.

I think this best applies for anyone buying a pet that isn't a dog.


Even small dogs are affective, smart, loyal, and highly attuned to human emotions. Pretty much virtually all other pets are not and mainly just imprisoned show pieces.

My dog grew up in the city and because I actually attended to his mental/exercise needs he's fine.

My parents dog grew up in a rural area and literally shits himself out of anger and fear whenever a truck goes by.

If you're a shit who feels entitled to a dog because it's the last piece of your picture of what a good life looks like, and you don't actually care for it, of course it'll be neurotic. It has less to do with urban v rural and more to do with if you actually care for your dog.
