Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Im against breed bans in general, but chihuahuas suck. Let's make chihuahuas illegal.

I have a husky and never experienced any of that except the awoo woo woo. He might be a outlier but he is one of the most relaxed dogs I've ever owned. As long as he is by my side he is chill, and he never destroyed any furniture either. Do I have the world's chillest husky? I do live in the country and he can come and go as he pleases and I take him on walks and camping a lot so maybe we should have a warning for people getting dogs that they need to take care of them....?

My husky is also chill af. She was destructive at first (would chew up shoes), but damn near any dog can be until you break them of separation anxiety. The most difficult thing with her is keeping a handle on her when out for a walk and a cat or another dog crosses her path. She gets excited and wants to play/give chase and I gotta reign her in with the big handle on the harness. She's also far less bullheaded than my chihuahua mix. He's a willful little shit and it takes twice as much direction to get him to obey.

Well if he gets bored in your house he can just go outside instead of tearing up your house. But not every dog can or is allowed to go outside when they want to.

So you live in one of those situations where a husky makes sense.
