What dogs do everyone own?

Chickentrains needs a bit of a break right now, so I'll rope in @TheDawg instead

I’m so confused right now

@Ceciliasflock is wondering why double merles have health problems, and why merle causes so many problems in breeds that don't have it already (like poodles) if you don't know, that's fine

Gorgeous boy!!
My friends have the brown/liver/idk what the official color name is weimaraners, but I've always admired the blue.
Are they actually completely insane? My friends' are but they just have a giant property so let them run around and be nuts instead of walking them, so idk if theirs are actually exercised properly

Thanks! The other color is known as silver. Their nickname is the gray ghost. I wouldn't call them insane, but very active. A walk around the neighborhood won't do for these guys. They need to run, get up to full speed. They are really nice looking at a full run, very good looking dogs

They sure look like they're built for running!! They are so pretty. Do you do any hunting with Thor (they're bird dogs, right? idk lol) or just hiking?

I had a Jack Russel when I was little. His name was Oscar. He passed away in 2016. He was a good boy. No more dogs now though. I don't have any pictures of him because I didn't have a phone yet back then. Not really my favorite breed.. my favorite breed is the Aussie. The merle pattern is pretty.

My husband is looking into maybe quail hunting with him. He deer hunts now but you can't use a dog to deer hunt. That pictured dog has his full tail, must be British, at least not from the states. It is breed standard here to dock their tails to 6 inches as an adult

you can't use a dog to deer hunt.

Unless you just want to sit in the tent and not catch anything

that pictured dog has his full tail, must be British, at least not from the states.

There are a few breeders around here that don't dock. they say it is not morally sound.

I don't know how hunting dogs work, but aren't there dogs called deerhounds? can those hunt deer? idk

I've seen some breeders of stuff with docked tails that won't dock dogs going to pet homes, or wont' dock at all, so idk
