    I've got one now that's fine. That one was just a psychopath.

    I've always had labs. I've never saw a bad one

    Growing up I had a part Chow/part Lab. Dog was perfect. Friendly and lovable if he knew you but would tear you to shreds if he felt threatened. Currently have a part Chow/part Akita. Other than getting a tad bit ornery in his old age, he's still a great dog with zero issues unless you bother him while eating. Great blue-collar dog.

    Most aggressive dog I've ever owned was a soft-coated Wheaten.

    Also, how many of these twitter things have to go horribly wrong before people stop doing them?

    I have a beagle and blue heeler. I'll not own another dog except for a blue heeler. She's absolutely the best dog I've ever been around and smarter than most humans.

    We had a yellow one. Bat shit crazy and ended up running away. Turns out the entire rest of the litter and mom ran away from their respective homes.

    We have a Bernese Mountain Dog now. Most amazing dog ever.

    Those dogs are beautiful but it's too damn hot in Alabama for a mountain dog.

    Heelers are great dogs if you break them while they're young

    Anyone have any experience with a mastiff or a wolfhound? I've always wanted one of each. I don't care for little yippy dogs.

    They have issues with deafness and going blind if I remember correctly. Causes them to snap and be ornery like Tenny after a premature pop.

    I've had multiple black labs. After Shadow died a few years ago I've not gotten the guts to replace her yet. Best dog I've ever met.

    I've had a bull mastiff/great dane mix. He weighed around 160 lbs. He was an awesome dog.

    Great dogs, but won't live too long. Top out at 10 or 12 years often.

    Justin, labs are great dogs. I was bit by a lab once, but I was trimming his nails and quicked him when my face was right over his. He got my whole nose in his snap but only broke the skin at the base. I was shocked, and it appeared he was too as he had a very regretful sort of look like he thought I was going to beat the hell out of him. I scolded him and smacked his nose like it was a minor thing, and neither of us told his owner about it. Though I did have a nasty bleeding gash on each side of my nose that took a good week to go away.

    I don't necessarily fault the dog though, I had my face in the wrong place and I did quick him. Plus, that is the only non-positive experience I've ever had with a lab.

    I have a German short hair/ black lab mix. He's a really good dog, and fast as hell.

    I was fishing on a family friends land with my lab Shadow. A pit bull that was tied to a tree on an adjacent property broke the chain and was coming at me at what appeared to be roughly 715 mph. Shadow proceeded to run interference and looked like Mike Singletary on crack while growling and hunkered down. The pit stops dead in it's tracks and drug chain and all slowly back home.

    Shadow was just a little over one. That moment forward it was a special bond.
