nyssel Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I have always wondered this. when we were researching our chosen breeds and such, of course there would be stressed and emphasised points on breed traits and activity levels, and while completely expecting certain breed traits there are very funny little quirky habits that you will only discover by having one! From what I heard, certain breeds do have certain quirky habits that oddly enough do happen in a lot of dogs of that breed. No one told me that Cavs would love eating grass so much, yet I have found by talking with other owners that their dogs do the same!

Daisys Mum Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I didn't know it was a Cavalier thing but yes mine loves to graze on grass :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dory the Doted One Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 The Rottie Lean. And their need to be close to you always or at the very least, in the same room. Oh, and laying in front of the fridge, stove, bench or any other kitchen space you're trying to use. Causing you to have to step over them, step on them (they then move somewhere equally inconvenient), trip over or perform clever kitchen aerobics that would make Cirque de Soleil want you for their next featured performer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Shelties spin! And bark, but when they are really excited they spin in crazy circles and look insane. But apparently it's just a "normal" Sheltie thing :p Edited May 28, 2015 by Simply Grand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemmy Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Luna grumbles and groans. I knew GSD's were talkers, but she's not just a back chatter, sometimes she sounds like a grumpy old man. If you roll over in bed and accidentally nudge her she groans like a person that you've tried to move while sleeping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stressmagnet Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Labradors and sticks!! They MUST find one and carry it around with them the MINUTE they step outside. You don't have to throw it for them, but they MUST carry one around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skip Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) When I got my two small dogs after having only the large farm dogs, I found out dogs had anal glands!! Edited May 29, 2015 by skip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Griffs I have learned are baby mountain goats and the backrest of the couch is a comfy spot to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyWal Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I had no idea greyhounds are so affectionate. I grew up in a racing family and only considered them race dogs until I had them as pets, they crave affection like no other dog I've owned.

Little Gifts Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'm still shocked at how much like sbt's shar pei can be. They love zoomies, bitey face, do full body wriggles of happiness, like to hold conversations with you, treat stairs like flight launching pads, give kisses and basically love their humans to pieces. I actually thought pei would be sloth like given all their wrinkles and skin but they can be very agile and playful. And naughty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineth Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Both my Great Danes love/d waking the kids up in the morning, something that never interested my mastiff x. And both loved just being with the kids if they were upset. Great Danes are also known for sitting on couches or laps like this, probably just because they can.

Rascalmyshadow Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Poodles use their front legs like human arms/hands, they are very sensitive to emotions and like like to have physical contact at all times if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph M Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Anyone who thinks dogs can't feel human-esque emotions is crackers! My dog feels joy, sadness, jealousy and pride just as much as the next person. And don't ask about sneakiness and spite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
