Interesting Programme on BBC2 now. Labrador for me, but I love all of them. i've a soft spot for the English bulldog but hear rumours that breeding is harmful to their health. never trust a man that doesn't like dogs imo.

Whatever this is:
 Possibly a Shetland sheepdog-cross, since she sometimes spins on the spot when excited, but without actually chasing her tail, which is apparently behaviour unique to shelties (those miniature Lassie-types). |

By:
Mongrels the best. But have a soft spot for greyhounds. And most other dogs.

There's a 4 month old pup who's just moved in next door to me.
Apparently, he's a Staffordshire bull cross with a collie on his mother's side and a Jack Russell on his paternal side. He's a bloody ugly little bugger to be honest - but what a lovely little being! |

Hot with fried onion and mustard. I really dislike dogs though I do realise I am in a pretty small minority.

Springer spaniels. The best dogs in the world.

By:
Boxer no question , the best
|
|
By:
I hate how Boxer's slaver all over the place, plus they don't seem the brightest of dogs?
Parents had a Collie, was a wonderful dog. When younger we had a Labrador/Collie/Mongrel Heinz 57 thing, was a nice dog until went a bit feral in later life and turned nasty, shame really. |

I have a Cairmal....a cross between a Cairn terrier and maltese terrier.
Id never even heard of them,my mum fosters for a dogs trust and i called up for tea 6 months ago and she latched onto me. I took her and havnt regretted it once,makes me laugh every day....great personality,great with kids and boundless energy....loves walking. If anyone is looking for a little lapdog i would recommend one,they really are superb dogs.....google Cairmal terrier and there's quite a few pages on them. |

I've kept all sorts of dogs, but have a special place in my heart for the lurchers. None of the silly temperament and health issues you get with certain pedigree dogs, and handy for coursing hares and rabbits.

Regards cairmal, genuine question...
To get a next generation of cairmal do you have to make it breed with another cairmal? If they are quite a rare breed then this must be difficult. In fact it is why I wonder about a lot of this pure breed stuff, i mean dogs have been round for yonks how can anything be pure breed? Do you know the blood line back to great grandparents and much further beyond? |

I have had two Lhasa Apso's

Like Springer Spaniels too. Do not like any of the 'fighting' dogs. |
|
By:
Ok scaredmonkey. For the record I have always liked mongrels anyway, generally good natured aimals from my experience.
|
|
By:
I'm surprised that I seem to be the first to vote for the German Shepherd Dog. Alsatian to our older inmates.
Just ticks all the boxes. |
|
By:
Golden Retriever, or, as ours was known, just a 'Golden'. Wouldn't retrieve a damn thing.
|
|
By:
Naydam, the single most impressive dog I have ever encountered was an Alsatian, belonged to my old landlady. Sadly, the more highly-bred examples are often plagued by hip dysplasia, again caused by Kennel Club strictures impacting on breeding programmes.
|
|
By:
Quite so, Jed. To be honest, I would have no time for a pup from parents that were bred for that silly gait that used to be considered desirable in show dogs. I believe the Kennel Club are getting their act together and stopping it.
Hip dysplasia actually affects most breeds of large dog, some more so than the GSD. I guess it's just one of the hazards of dog ownership. |
|
By:
I hope to get a dog one day, and despite my love of labs, reckon I will go for an ex greyhound. Or at worst a rescue dog. Apparently greyhounds are quite easy dogs to cope with, but they seem quite lacking in personality.
|
|
By:
I know a couple of owners of former racing greyhounds. Great dogs, generally quite docile, until they see a cat or a rabbit - For obvious reasons, letting them off the lead is a no go.
Not a fan of small dogs, bar perhaps West Highland Terriers. Only dog to ever bite me was a bastard Jack Russell, it was my then landlady's dog, so I couldn't even punt the little fecker in the nads. Only dogs I've had are an Alsatian and a Border Collie, both cracking pets and much missed. |
