awwww puppies are cute. but I hate big dogs they're scary
we used to have a beagle and a lab, but now we just have two yorkshire terriers, who are like eternal baby puppies...but when we did have big dogs, to teach them not to jump up on furniture or not to jump up whereever (if this is an issue for you) you can set up mouse traps where you don't want them to go. it won't hurt them, but it makes a sound and scares them, they'll learn.
also a raw egg once a day makes their coat purdy
and every dog we've had loves those nasty pig ears...anything that looks disgusting dogs will most likely like hehe
