Alien: Covenant

Question. Aren't all dogs in Switzerland mountain dogs? I mean is there any place else to be in Switzerland other than mountains? I bet there are exactly zero Swiss Plains Dogs or Swiss Jungle Dogs or Swiss Lying-Back By The Pool Dogs for that matter. And, do Swiss Mountain Dogs bark in French or German?

In my house, the Swiss Mountain Dog prefers the couch and talks to me in English. But he is a devout Cambodian Orthodox Buddhist convert.

A rare breed indeed.

As is his owner and master. Was there a movie connected to this thread?  :timeout:

Let's face it, this thread's gone to the dogs.

[Gusington]

Owner? Sure. Master? Pfft.

We've been looking around for a replacement dog, but not in a hurry because of a vacation this summer and want to wait until after we get back.  I came across this guy that would be perfect, since we want an outside dog.  Then I got to looking at the Bernese breed more.  Do they really only live about 8 years.

I never heard of a Bernese Mountain Dog. My guess would be since Bern is part of Switzerland, it'd be the same breed as Gus'. They sure look alike. I never heard of any breed of dog living only 8 years. Every breed I've heard of will usually live to around 12-15 years. Fleas however are immortal.

Oops, my mistake.  I was thinking that the Greater Swiss Mountain dog and the Bernese Mountain dog were the same.  They are not.

Yeah the Bernese is what The Wife wanted originally but many of them don't make it past 8 or 9 years old, so we went with the other breed.

I think I'm going to skip watching this Alien movie based on this thread.  It seems a stupid decision to replace the aliens with dogs.

Kinda makes sense.  Personally, I find Pugs terrifying.

[Sir Slash]

OHHH! A Pug-Xenomorph would be just the cutest little killing machine ever. I bet they'd snort when they explode out of your stomach.  :dreamer:

[mirth]

In space, no one can hear you snort.

[Gusington]

Pug killing machine. Nothing better will be posted on the interwebz today.
