Do I remember correctly that you were thinking between borzoi and smooth collie or was it someone else? If it was you, any particular reason why you chose collie? Asking bc im myself considering between those two, I have experience with shelties and really like herding dogs even tho they can be worlds most sensitive babies sometimes

I can't remember if i publicly posted about it but i definitely did consider borzois!

herding dogs are great and i'm definitely very biased towards them. i love those weirdos and all their chaos.

-

the reason i ended up going for a smooth collie is mostly prey drive. Borzois are proper sight hounds and will run after fast animals and bite to kill if they can reach them. which is what they were bred for and definitely doesn't make them bad dogs!

herding dogs have a modified prey drive that makes them stalk animals around and ideally have strong restraint on lunging and biting.

i know a lot of sight hounds are very chill with cats but i just felt more comfortable going with a herder. He does annoy his tiny older siblings a lot by herding them around the house when he thinks they need to be somewhere else and is a bit rough and clumsy in his play attempts but it's all manageable.

i also live quite rural with a lot of game like hares, deer and pheasants out and about around the house and have neighbours with free roaming ducks, chicken and turkeys. so having a dog with a low prey drive is honestly just a lot more comfortable overall.

that being said tho my trainer has the worlds daintiest little rough collie who has an insane prey and kill drive. so it's not a given they will just try to befriend every outdoor cat they see.

-

another point was size. smooth collies (especially males from US lines) can get quite big. Leon certainly is a good sized guy with almost 60cm shoulder height and 24kg!

borzois are A LOT larger.

i have a small car, bed and couch tbh. My mom is also struggling with physical health and already struggles with leon when he's a bit rowdy. i don't think she'd handle a dog that can get almost twice as heavy!

the accidental injury risk of my cats would have also been higher with a larger dog.

-

less a direct comparison thing but a big part of why i went with a collie in the end is that they are known to be kinda annoyingly clingy and oh god he is but so am i. having a weird little guy who doesn't get annoyed by it helps my mental health a lot.

i don't have experience with shelties and how they compare but generally you can expect smooth and rough collies to be a bit lower energy and more "stubborn"/independent than border collies if that helps.

It’s been a good day at the 5k! My friend’s chihuahua won Tiniest Tot and Nika and her dad won 3rd place in their division!

These pretentious, fucking arrogant, dalmatian owners in this FB group are the most predictable jerks I've ever talked to.

If you're not giving your dog a 100% raw, vitamin boosted, joint/coat/immune enhanced PLUS PLUS kibble. You're a monster.

Haven't taken your dog for their triple semi-annual shots and allergen/cancer screening? Horrid.

Your dog didn't graduate from the fucking JUILLIARD School for dog training? Pathetic, why even have a dalmatian.

I didn't scratch the asshole of every sugar daddy in town to get her either. I saw her in a rescue group chat and swooped her when she was supposedly 7 weeks old. If she's the result of "BYB" then so fucking be it you egotistical, judgmental pricks.

I refuse to feel bad or guilty for taking her into my life and I wouldn't even know how to go about reporting this woman. It wasn't some grand deal! And then someone's gonna say she's got WORMS 😱 Are you kidding?

You don't know my puppy so I'll fill you in, when she's not sleeping she's running, biting, playing and barking at whatever the hell she wants; when I feed her, she plays for about 15 minutes before getting tired and that's when I'm able to take pictures of her. Any time before then she's trying to eat my hair, destroy cords and steal my granola bars. It's impossible to take cute photos of a toddler puppy.

... i love my little baby no matter what. If she's a poorly bred dog, if she's mixed with something, if she's the work of a backyard breeder, I DO NOT CARE. The only thing I care about, is her health and happiness.

tbf while the overuse of english phrases can be annoying in croatian this isn't necessarily something new - one only need look into the medieval and new age plays to see lingua franca (italian, latin, german, turkish ) seeping into the commoner language is just a thing that happens when you have a foreign language that's as widely used as the native one. we can be morose abt it but ultimately it's a natural aspect of language evolution. we wouldn't have a lot of dialectal vocabulary if it weren't for this kind of mixing.

That is fair, but i feel like there's a difference in not having a choice but to adopt and adapt, and very much having a choice and just kinda rolling over (hence the cuck comparison).

Like, we didn't have a word for a džezva so we borrowed it from Turkish - we don't have a word for "cringe" so go ahead and say "krindž".

I feel the problem comes when you speak Croatian, but 75% of your production is just fully English sentences, which happens. I've unfortunately been subjected to it way too much by now. It's not a case of "A postaj to na story, a ja ću screenshottat i forwardat Marti" <- you can say post, story, screenshot, forward in Croatian, but it's not the end of the world if you say them in English. The problem is when you say, "Super ti je ispala fotka, you should post it" <- conversations where entire clauses are spoken in English between two people whose first language is shared, and not English.

So this

is Doofer

No I have no idea what kind of dog he is, but he is my boy so... We adopted him in February. Feb 5th 2023 and he was 1 year old at the time. A 100% good boy, he walks so nice on the leash and he and Cheese are like best friends. Sweetest boy ever but a little high energy. I have to walk him like three times a day.

My therapist convinced me to get another dog by saying Jaeger would've wanted that, would've wanted me to save somebody like I saved him. So I did, I'm going to give this good boy the best life ever, the way that I hope I gave Jaeger everything he could've wanted. That love and kindness would be best served in someone else's paws, someone else deserves it just like he did so... here we are. Doofer.

I'm going to get a tattoo of Jaeger's pawprint on my shoulder.
