Cleora says she can’t remember it well enough to share it otherwise. Here is my piece that includes religious determination of various guide dog breeds.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'>Which Breed Is the Best Dog?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>(I saw this question on Facebook as a forwarded item without a byline making a comparison between Labrador and golden retrievers. I added the German Shepherds and expanded the comparisons.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>DeAnna Quietwater Noriega<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden retrievers must be touching you at all times. Labs want to touch you at all times. German Shepherds have to see you at all times. If they had a job, Golden retrievers would be social workers. If they had a job, labs would be stand up comedians. If they had a job, German shepherds would be nannies. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden retrievers must be Catholics; they understand the need to confess their guilt. Labs must be protestants, “What guilt?” German Shepherds must be agnostics, “I only did what was necessary.” <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden retrievers need attention. Labs want attention. German Shepherds demand attention. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If Golden retrievers could talk, they would be constantly saying, “I love you! I love you! And if you came home and found a broken lamp, they would say, “I’m a bad dog! I must have broken it even if I was outside the whole time! Oh No, you are unhappy!” If Labs could talk, they would constantly be saying, “Love me! Love Me!” And if you came home to find a broken lamp, they would say, “Broken lamp? Yup, I was having tons of fun and I broke it! Want to see me break the other one? “If German Shepherds could talk they would be constantly saying, “Where are you going, be careful! Let me help you with that!” And if you came home to find a broken lamp, they would declare, I told him not to do it, but the cat broke the lamp anyway!” <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden retrievers -- long hair—on your clothes, in your food, on your couch, in your bed … everywhere! Labs –short hair—on your clothes, in your food, on your couch, in your bed…everywhere! German Shepherds – multi-colored hair--on your clothes, in your food, on your couch, in your bed…everywhere!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden retrievers brush daily; Labs, blow their coats at least twice a year, take them to a groomer for a bath spring and fall, basically wash and wear. German Shepherds are walking fur factories capable of creating huge dust bunnies that are intelligent enough to hide until you put the vacuum cleaner away. You might just consider giving these names and making them members of the family. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Golden Retrievers plead with their lovely eyes to be fed, because if food is around they must have some. Labradors can’t seem to tell what is food, they will try anything to determine if it is potentially edible. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>German Shepherds will decide that their current brand is long past its shelf life and demand a new kind by going on a hunger strike. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Which breed is the best dog depends on what you expect of your dog and which best compliments your personality and lifestyle. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
