E.G Do you really want a super-smart working dog in the city (cattle dog) or a big couch potato (recommend Greyhound rescue here!).

The best way of descibing them is a lap dog in big dogs clothing ;-) There are a few organisations rehoming greys from the racing industry.Greytgirl, Amie, and Blazehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09942838480351703319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942659208808712802.post-65046392783073845592011-05-06T10:30:12.364+10:002011-05-06T10:30:12.364+10:00We got a spoodle (cocker spaniel x poodle)at Chris...We got a spoodle (cocker spaniel x poodle)at Christmas time.

I have never come across a more gentle, intelligent, loyal creature in my life. He's accepted my husband (who came along after him) and four children being born - each of whom has knocked him down the pecking order. <br /><br />Poodles need clipping, but we just get him clipped the one length all over.<br /><br />My only negative is that as he gets older, I get sadder at the thought of his 'old-man'ishness and his rapidly approaching end.Makeminemidcenturyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304535583168822160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942659208808712802.post-44960524633279871322011-05-05T09:42:31.178+10:002011-05-05T09:42:31.178+10:00We have an RSPCA..or bitzer dog...bit of everythin...We have an RSPCA..or bitzer dog...bit of everything!

I bought my Staffordshire from Fairfield RSPCA and I couldn't have asked for a better dog. At the time I didn't know anything about the breed (we only ended up with him at the encouragement of my partner ... at the end of the day I just wanted to take one of them home and I can tell you with all honesty that I was the lucky one who ended up with him ... he was the best dog EVER) and since owning a Staffy, and meeting so many other Staffordshires in the street I have found them to be all the same ... just a beautiful temperament. I was a bit niave before getting him and theought they were like a PitBull but they are not like that at all ... someone recently told me that they are known as the "Nanny Dog" because of their wonderful ways with children. Next time you see a purebred Staffy you'll notice their tails are constantly wagging when they are in the presence of humans. They are beautifuly animals. You are obviously like me and like "an uglier" dog ... I say that with total affection ... A Staffy is the way to go ... trust me you'll never regret it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942659208808712802.post-66438677436753986902011-05-04T23:22:03.141+10:002011-05-04T23:22:03.141+10:00Having been a member of a pure breed dog club for ...Having been a member of a pure breed dog club for many years (dobermanns) I'd recommend that if you're not going to get a rescue dog then buy from a CCCQ registered and reputable breeder. Workout what breeds you like (we're also "auditioning" breeds at the moment for our new dog) and then contact the breed club for those dogs. Let me warn you though, there are some real nutters out in the 'dog world' (the movie Best In Show is soooo real) but most have the breeds best at heart. I love every spoodle, doodle, cavoodle noodle out there but "breeders" of these dogs are just supplying the pet market & that's not why a litter of pups should be born. Off my soap box now ;-)<br />p.s. I'm also very partial to a French Bulldog but I think it's Poodle all the way here.Littlemissairgaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759336965970856540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2942659208808712802.post-58885275547917810382011-05-04T21:24:01.919+10:002011-05-04T21:24:01.919+10:00I believe the best dog ever is the Bichon Frise. ...I believe the best dog ever is the Bichon Frise. I have a pair of them and just love them to bits. They have the most beautiful temperament and are just fabulous with children. They are loving companions and are so friendly and fun to be around. Anyhow, I could rave on for hours about their fabulousness, so I'll leave it there!<br /><br />Have fun with the fencing.<br /><br />TDM xxThe Distressed Motherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878371211708477939noreply@blogger.com
