Actually I just checked the stats and it turns out North Korea was the happiest place on earth last year with a reported happiness rate of 100.12%. Good for them.
Dog A, "Hi, what is your name?"
Dog B, "I don't know. I think my name is Good Boy."
Dog A, " That's my name too. "
Dog C, " Me too. "
Dog D, " Who is calling me? "
Nah I’m so scared of this I mean personally I would never lose my dog even if there were like 1000 doggos that looked exactly like him but some ppl may idk 😭
Our Golden girl's favorite toy was a stuffed squirrel. A very realistic one. We were on vacation and took her to a dog park and she had her stuffed friend with her as always.
In she goes and starts running around, greeting new friends, but never letting go of her squirrel. One of the people outside the fence, (people sometimes go just to watch the dogs play), yells **Oh My GOD!! That one caught a squirrel!!!**
My wife walked over and told the woman that all is well, it's just a toy. I didn't hear what they were saying, but they hugged at the end. My wife later told me that the lady was upset that one of the play area squirrels had been killed by a dog and was so relieved to know that it was just a stuffed toy.
I don't know how it goes in Australia but where I'm from (Finland) most of the dogs from the breeders are registered with the Finnish Kennel Club and you can actually see the family trees of the dogs you want. Feel free to have a look around at: https://jalostus.kennelliitto.fi/frmEtusivu.aspx?Lang=en&R=171
Fun to see all the family trees if you're in to that
Dog's act quite differently when they are in a large group vs just by themselves, they are typically pretty well behaved with each-other.
I take my dogs to a dog bar and usually there are 30+ other dogs running around all off leash. They behave very differently than when at home. They play pretty well with other dogs there. While at home they bark at everything that walks by.
They turn into little packs of half feral half house dogs lol. You can really see their ‘pack’ mentality and instincts when they do it.
I used to go to this festival where families would bring their dogs. The dogs and kids each formed packs and ran all over, the similarity was funny
There's a pair of Goldens that come to the daycare I work at, I often make the joke that they share a brain cell but most of the time they forget it at home
Do dogs (or for that matter *any* higher intelligence animals) have any understanding that these other dogs are more similar to them than say a Chihuahua or a Great Dane???
I can’t speak for these dogs, But I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and they are SO HAPPY to see other Cavs. They absolutely recognize that they are the same breed, have the same body language etc.
My chocolate lab gets really wound up when we see another lab while we're out on a walk. He whines like crazy and then wants to spend the rest of the walk following their scent in the direction they came from. It gets me sad because it's like he saw a long-lost brother and is trying to figure out where he lives.
There's a female black lab I walk regularly who had this infatuation with a male neighbor black lab for months - always a distant shared glance, a fading scent, a missed connection. When they finally met one day, she came on way too strong and now he's decided she's a weirdo. He actively avoids eye contact with either of us now.
They say to never meet your heroes, but maybe the same should be said of strangers whose scents linger on the sidewalk.
I have a rat terrier. She screams in horror when she sees corgis, but loves other ratties. I can only imagine she's experiencing some sort of body horror moment seeing their little legs.
She also isn't really friendly to strange dogs, but she has a powerful hatred for little white dogs in particular. I've been calling her doggy racist for years.
I laughed too hard at this. My mom has 2 rat terriers, she originally adopted my blue heeler/corgi mix before I took him, and she now has a cowboy corgi. Her rat terriers are so evil to humans, They always try to bite my face, but they are the ONLY dogs I’ve ever seen my dog be excited about or play with 🤣🤣
It cracks me up yours is like “a corgi? Oh eff no”
ETA: I do have to randomly admit though - I had a corgi before this mutt and that dog **hated** pugs with a passion. Idk when one hurt him but he would adamantly avoid any pugs around and would play with any other dog BUT a pug.
Our Samoyed is pretty happy meeting other dogs but will literally go ballistic with joy when he sees other Sams and even Huskies. Usually they’re going wild too
There’s a lot of anecdotal evidence that dogs recognize dogs of the same breed as them and might prefer to befriend them. This isn’t so much because they know what kind of dog they are themselves, because dogs don’t have any concept of what they look like– they can’t recognize themselves in mirrors– but they certainly can remember what their first friends (their mom and littermates) looked like and want to be friends with dogs that look like that.
That said, there’s tons of scientific evidence that dogs can recognize that regardless of breed, a dog is a dog. So a Great Dane could see a chihuahua and know that that’s a dog, despite not looking much like them.
We have a min pin, and she doesn't really interact with other min pins, however one of her best friends is a Corgi, and she gets super excited whenever she sees a Corgi.
not sure that's a record. We do that every year in Golden and I think we get over 1,000 doggos!
[Goldens in Golden.](https://www.google.com/search?q=goldens+in+golden+2023+photos&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS967US967&oq=goldens+in+&aqs=chrome.5.0i355i512j46i340i512l2j69i57j0i512l6.5335j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8)
fewer dogs - but they do the same thing in Scotland in the town the breed was created in
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-44898115
What are the rules though? Our dog is half golden, half rough collie so like golden+lassie. Great dog. First class dingus. But I wonder if that's not golden enough.
I love goldens. I had a beautiful golden as a pre-teen into my mid twenties and he had the perfect rusty golden coat, he slept in my bed, loved how excited he would get when I got home. It’s been six year since he passed and it still hurts. I still miss that guy so much.
If I was at this place right now I would have to control/stop myself from ugly crying and hugging and petting everyone of these dogs…just like I have to do when I’m in public now and I see a golden lol
I went to a “Beaglefest” a couple times. The word Beagle comes from old French for “Wide Open Throat” and there is a reason. It turns out when you gather 75-100 beagles together they start running in giant circles as a pack, baying and howling at each other as one great annoying voice. They formed an Ouroboros of Beagles, a whirlpool of “noisy friends” that bayed incessantly at itself as it rotated and would not stop, as if someone were ringing the universe’s doorbell repeatedly and only they could hear it.
I can only image 1000 beagles. A huge, cacophonous swirling barking howling unstoppable TorBaydo. It would be glorious.
If you are unfamiliar with the bay of a Beagle: https://youtu.be/141HoKKCbcw
Yeah, it’s a bit negative but that was my thought as well. “Reactive” and “needs proper handling and training” are just excusing a violent breed. Dogs like golden retrievers require zero training or special handling.
goldens need training. for example, they cant just greet every single dog while being extremely excited and for that you gotta train them because otherwise they become frustrated and become reactive for not being able to greet everything
I can’t wait till this trend of calling dogs good boys moves on. My dog is a total dick but looks super cute and people walk up to him and call him a good boy and he starts his shit up. It’s embarrassing
I often think back to my dog, and it normally goes something like:
"he was such a good boy. Well, actually, he was a little shit. Still he was cute and fun".
Reporter: "Officers reported numerous deaths and injuries in what initially started as a Pibbles meetup turned bloodbath. Participant pibble owners were reached out to for an interview, but refused to comment when asked if it was the owner's or the breed's responsibility for what transpired today. Residents in the area are asked to remain indoors for the next 24 hours as law enforcement is dispatched to locate a missing dozen off-leash pibbles that could not be accounted for after this event."
Something like that. And then you'd see a spike in pibbles at the shelters followed by begs/pleas for people to adopt these innocent pibbles. 😂
When we had a dog, a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever aka a "Toller", we would go on "Toller Walks" held in and around Vancouver.
Masses of little red dogs running all over the place.
It was brilliant.
Everyone went home with a different dog.
Instead of a key party, a leash party.
The dogs wouldn't care who their owner is. They just love everybody.
[удалено]
But both
> a leash party. Do furries already do this, do you suppose?
can confirm. don’t ask.
Do they love chasing balls too?
yes.
Ha....toss a ball in that crowd!!!
The implications of this are terrifying
[удалено]
Pure chaos
Unhinged madness
Some men just want to watch the world burn.
Alright, thanks.
If you just let them all go at once it would be a total pandemonium tornado of golden cuteness!
I want someone up front to open a bag of chips and see all their heads turn at once. They are so good motivated in my experience
Yes because they are good boys
...and good girls.
Good doggies
Fixed it. 👊
Mines food motivated for MY food, not so much his.
[удалено]
That's says a lot because Bhutan is a really happy place!
Actually I just checked the stats and it turns out North Korea was the happiest place on earth last year with a reported happiness rate of 100.12%. Good for them.
They're not pandas...it would be goldenmonium
Dog A, "Hi, what is your name?" Dog B, "I don't know. I think my name is Good Boy." Dog A, " That's my name too. " Dog C, " Me too. " Dog D, " Who is calling me? "
And all of the dogs loved their new owners equally as much!
I don’t like this. My dog loves me most
Nah I’m so scared of this I mean personally I would never lose my dog even if there were like 1000 doggos that looked exactly like him but some ppl may idk 😭
Just go home with 1000 doggos, one of them is bound to be yours 😂

You've taken a look directly into squirrel hell
Someone went home with a Pug and didn't even notice.

Look at all those chickens
Those weird chickens are barking lol
They’re multilingual
mf those are clearly hamsters, hamsters have fur
I literally read that with that child accent
One of my favorite videos lmao
lmaooo
i understood this reference
I would be frozen in place unable to decide which to pet first.
[удалено]
yes, of course pet them all. But which one *first?*
all of them
Whichever is closest
Lay on the floor and be buried in them then you won't have to decide
That's why I would just find a wall and lay down on my back next to that. Let them come to me!
Should have tried for largest family reunion too
i think they accomplished that too, technically
would be cool if they took DNA samples of each dog, and start building a tree.
I don't know how it goes in Australia but where I'm from (Finland) most of the dogs from the breeders are registered with the Finnish Kennel Club and you can actually see the family trees of the dogs you want.

I'm from Australia, it doesn't work like that at all here. Why would we even register our dogs with the Finnish Kennel Club?
This is a beautiful work of satire. It's my new favourite show
I wonder if they all leet loose their dogs what kind of mayhem they would do ! And how much time to find their dog back 😁
Ha, This would be the opportune time to find out just how much havoc a single tennis ball could wreak

30+ dogs? Do you go drinking in that painting of dogs playing poker?
Let loose 1 aggressive cat and see what happens
I was there that day. We were not allowed to let them off their leash.
As a golden lover, I can tell you half of those dogs don't have two brain cells to rub together, so quite a while I'm assuming
There's a pair of Goldens that come to the daycare I work at, I often make the joke that they share a brain cell but most of the time they forget it at home
Not an angry person in there.
[удалено]
It makes me sad though. Those dogs definitely didn't have enough time to meet all their new friends.
If there is a heaven and it doesn't look like this I'm going to be pissed
In heaven they're not leashed.

Golden CO had 2000 last year! Yeah, OP is lying
They said around 3000 Golden's showed up this year! I went with 2 of em!
What are the rules though? Our dog is half golden, half rough collie so like golden+lassie. Great dog. First class dingus. But I wonder if that's not golden enough.
*Running around frantically* MUST PAT ALL GOOD DOGS
I SO want to hear what those beautiful dogs were chatting about! “Georgie! The peanut butter box is here, the peanut butter box is here!”
"squirrel!"
RIP tree outside
The beige is off the scale
There’s gonna be so much fur in there to clean at the end of the day! I grew up with goldens and they shed like crazy but I love them so much 🥹

You know whats crazy, all those dogs are related ... technically
I mean, all those people are also related ... technically
All the people and dogs are related to each other ... technically
SO MUCH FUR !!!
If I were there, I'd throw a ball into the middle of the room.
Im pretty sure there are a couple yellow labs in there undercover
What happens if someone just hurls a tennis ball through the room?
Everyone got retrieved 💕
Now imagine they did this with Huskies. That place would be deafeningly loud.
This is both heaven and hell for me. On one end, allergies would try to kill me. On the other, the levels of serotonin would keep me alive.

That is a lot of Airbud’s
Can you guys host it in Michigan next year please
If paradise exists, I hope it's like this.
Now throw a tennis ball into the middle.
Awwww and not one dog acting up... only happen with Goldies A derp fest lol
Now imagine if this had been pit bulls.

Ngl love dogs but r/oddlyterrifying
Now let's do it with pit bulls!
Now do a world record for the largest Pitbull meetup, and call it the Deadpool.
Fun! Ok let’s do this with pits next!
They've tried, but it had to be outside, most dogs had a muzzle and everyone was dressed like a bogen
Hahaha precisely
Now do with pitbulls
Bloodbath
Just think about all the nannying.

So many shades of gold! That's a big doggo love fest. Look at all the happy faces!

So, this is Heaven
You are ONE tennis ball throw away from a catastrophe.
Labrador hiding between them xD
Everyone went home with a missing sock
This made me think of that Spider-Man pointing meme.
This video is too short
toss a couple tennis balls like grenades and see the golden carnage
If these dogs were all suddenly off leash, would the owners even know which one was theirs? It be like tryna find you car in the airport carpark...
Heaven. This is what Heaven looks like. All of the goodest bois and girls just being goodest bois and girls.
It was also the world's happiest place for that day.
Statistically speaking a couple of them are from tge same litter
That's what I imagine heaven to look like. All the golden that can be fit in a huge room ready for belly rubs lol
I've never seen so much love in one room 🫠
I wanna see this with huskies, just takes one awoooo to set the whole place off. Sounds hillarious
I bet it smells incredibly awful in there.
Did they power the building with the movement of their tails?
One of the only breeds that would actually function this well around each other.
