It looks like somewhere along the way it caught the scent of a black hole.

If you cross that with a pug, do you get a normal dog?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago

Maybe something that looks like a shaggy aardvark with a curly tail.

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago

When people think your pretty ant eater is a dog...

It honestly looks like it came from the muppets, so I don't blame them

My sister once said they look like the ghost of another dog that died

"Remain wary of the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. Were it not for fear, death would go unlamented."

"Seek the old blood."

"Let us pray, let us wish... to partake in communion. Let us partake in communion... and feast upon the old blood. Our thirst for blood satiates us, soothes our fears."

"Seek the old blood."

"But beware the frailty of men. Their wills are weak, minds young. The foul beasts will dangle nectar and lure the meek into the depths."

"Remain wary of the frailty of men..."

Look at this dood

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Gosh, I thought mine had a bad overbite. Derpiness max factor unlocked.

[-] mindbleach 5 points 1 week ago

Vaguely dog-shaped animal.

[-] fsxylo 2 points 1 week ago

"you can paint a dog, right?"

"Y-yeah"

Never seen a dog in their life.

The dog painting:

Those snouts change so much too.

[-] [email protected] 102 points 1 week ago

It's because they are all compulsive liars.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 week ago

I read this, moved on, then came back like 3 minutes later to upvote. Slow brain but great joke.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Confirmed. My Borzoi lies continually, especially to "have you eaten yet?" And "who made this mess?!"

She gives you that Russian side-eye.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It's okay if they do it when they're sleeping, though.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Is that why they don't wear pants?

He's like a cartoon dog come to life!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago

Hey, people can understand this post now, with this context. That is illegal on Lemmy and you will be arrested shortly.

[-] [email protected] 50 points 1 week ago

Giving my kid a borzoi puppy, then every day pinching his nose and tail and tugging on them a little bit, to convince my kid I'm stretching the dog out like taffy.

[-] [email protected] 48 points 1 week ago

I just read War and Peace for the first time last year. There's a section in the book involving hunting with borzois, and the narrator mentions that one of the characters paid a family of serfs for his best dog. He didn't pay money to a serf family - the cost of the dog was a serf family. Imagine that sort of bullshit if you're a serf.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Sounds right. There's that British family that was caught underpaying their staff do much, they spent more on their dog

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Fuck's sake those serfs can be trained to hunt too, what a waste

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

if i'm going to be sold for anything, a dog is probably the only option that wouldn't make me feel miserable

so long as they take care of the good boy

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Well, it was a good girl in the book, but don't worry - she wasn't treated like a serf.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

i mean as much as anyone can be these days, yes?

not sure what about that joke is worrisome given the general standard online..

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Nothing about the joke is worrisome to me.

I just had a hunch I should ask. False alarm, I guess.

Have a nice day :)

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Borzoi's are the sweetest dogs too. Like most sighthounds, they are very gentle/calm/lazy

[-] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

I have never met a more gentle dog than an American Doberman Pinscher. They look big and intimidating, and I guess they can be if you're their enemy, but they're so very sweet and gentle with their family. They have such soft mouths and they're so considerate and polite with their people.

[-] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

TBH that puppy doesn't look that normal. Basically every breed's puppy looks something like this:

Round head, short snout. Chihuahuas, Pitbulls, Labradors, all the same shape. Obviously size and fur patterns will vary, but if I saw an infant puppy with such a long snout as OP's image I would be very much aware that it would have an enormously long face as it developed.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I once matched with a girl on a dating app who told me that borzois' faces look like David Duchovny's and I can't unsee it

I love borzois but lol
