Hey!
Soon I'm moving back home, and for the first time in my life, the dream of owning a pooch seems plausible. So, I was wondering, what is the most layed back dog breed that exists? Especially one that can chill in a small apartment without a garden and it is easily housebroken (my rooms are well tied togather). I would obviously take it for walks and what not, but I still have to go to work, bowling and consume the occasional thai stick. Any suggestions?
Hey, this is a private residence, man...

Pomeranian. You can take it bowling and you don't have to rent it shoes or buy it a beer, and he won't take your turn, dude.

I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier. He was my original profile pic - this one:

He's a lovely affectionate dog, great around kids, loves drunk people (especially if they have food), but if you break into my house to steal and/or pee on my rug, you're leaving without your Johnson. For real.
A guy tried to give my wife a hard time one night when she was out walking him alone (I was playing a gig that night). She got very alarmed, and Milo here went straight for the guy's groin. Righteous dog...

Now that's fucking interesting, man, that's fucking interesting, a bull terrier. Your young trophy wife goes walking all over town...and that's cool... that's cool, and some carpet-pisser gives her a hard time...and the bull terrier bites off his johnson. Now his brain is his only erogenous zone.

I have a Shih Tzu. A very lazy dog.
Awesome dog

Fuckin' A, man! Shih Tzu's are a very laid back dog for a Dudeist. Here's my best bud Oliver, please don't pay attention to what he's wearing. My special lady at the time bought, put it on him and took this pic. She liked to dress him for some reason.

Bullmastiffs are great dogs... very laid back and calm, don't require much exercise and are happy lounging around an takin 'er easy. Though they dont' need a big yard, they might be a bit large for apartment living.
Here's my best friend Lennon (unfortunately dearly Dudeparted) He was quite an amazing personality.(http://i941.photobucket.com/albums/ad258/motorman119/1017111349_zps6734fef6.jpg)
If you can afford the room, try an Irish Wolfhound. They're the biggest dog breed but they are super laid back. Back in the day they wanted to use them as guard dogs but it didn't work because they were friendly to anyone that came by.
And if that doesn't work, i'd recommend finding a good mutt. They are way less crazy that purebred dogs and you don't have to worry about inbreeding.
I've always wanted an Irish wolfhound, not just because my dad's grandpa came from there. Want one and name him Cu or Culann or Cuchulainn or Setanta or something.
See them face to face every year at the St Patrick's Day festivities and love 'em.
Made pals with a friend's pekinese this weekend. We turned lazy and doin' nuttin' but lounging and snoring on the sofa into an artform. Pekes are great Dude dogs.
I have two pugs. One is 11 and the other is 2. They're both pretty chill, as long as you don't mind the constant snoring.

Drewcifer66 dude, welcome to our quiet beach community, grab an oat soda and a place on the rug, dude! Nice to have you here.
Samoyed dogs are rather dudeish too: big, white, smiling and fluffy. Been sled and company dogs for a couple of millennia, so you'll have a hard time looking for a dog more dude. My grandmother used to have one, she was a pup in the seventies when alternative upbringing methods were a hit. My uncles (yeah, I have three uncles) decided to give the dog an alternative upbringing - she never learnt to understand commands if there wasn't an alternative there. "Sit or lie!" - "Stay or walk!" Then she did either one.
Plus, they prefer being outdoors, and when it's cold, they find the windiest place they can and put their face against the wind. (It's also the only moment when they keep their tongues in their mouths.) Which means it's very unlikely they'd piss on rugs!

Awesome dog, dude. Hope he's running free somewhere.
My opinion is a Dude would want a devoted, laid back, and guard dog. Let you know that a Woo is aiming piss on your rug and hang with you and not run up to any one like they are your compeer. Not big on biting, not big on strangers, chills with you n matter what and abides like a champ.... Lhasa Apso... I want to try and get one f these ancient Buddhist dogs... Like, my opinion is they are a true Dudeist dog.

I want one! But they're hard to come by.
Our dogs are chickens. :)

Just saw your reply DigitalB. Thanks for the sentiments. I hope for that too. I struggled with posting a thread about him in July when I lost him, but I didn't, for whatever reason. He was the most handsome, funny guy in my life and I miss him dearly. Truly my best friend, I'd give anything to hug him one more time.
Again, thank you.
My little Zoey is the sweetest guuuurl, and she is most Dudistic dog who I ever did know. Zoey is half chihuahua, and half lhasa apso. Lhasa apso, isn't that some kind of Eastern thing? She is the most laid-back dog in the world, and is the sweetest guuuuurl.
I have a Jack Russell.
Great dog but a total Nihilist.
Not at all dude.

Yeah I had a Jack russell too. She was really smart, and fun when she's on her own. but we had 3 other dogs and she didn't play well with others. Also, she was a total death machine. loved killing small animals.
My last Jack Russell was Benny. He was dude to me, being a good boy but didn't understand why I didn't play as often as he liked. He wasn't mean to small animals but I remember once he followed a large frog or toad for a bit. Then he must figured the frog looked like a squeak toy (he loved squeakies) and proceeded to poke it with his snout a few times. I had to pry him away. Frog lived but I don't think it ever made friends with a canine after that.
My current dog is a rescue dog (most of my pets have ben rescues) who is a Chihuahua-JRT mix, aka jackchi. Very laid back. Figures he *could* run after things but, hey, that's a lot of energy. He was taken away from his first home and wasn't adopted for almost a year. No idea why. Even got him free from the shelter. Took him months to open up and realize he was home. Now he actually barks sometimes. He's happier in a lap (all 10 pounds) or in a little blanket. Maybe that's his robe?
My dudeliest fuzzy friend is my three-legged cat. Also a rescue, he was found as a kitten inside a car engine. His front left arm suffered nerve damage so two surgeries later, it was gone. He's fine. It's harder on us than them. He's 18 pounds of sheer muscle. He'll lie around and sometimes for a couple days he'll find a comfy place and only come out to eat. He likes to snuggle but doesn't mind if you don't want to. I swear I've seen him shrug. Probably saying, "Eh, fuck it." Cool tripod that likes his hairless ape.

Yeah my jack is a great dog. But not laid back by any measure.
Both of my wife's cats are very dude.
