I am sick to the back teeth of hearing about bloody dogs.
Non stop for the last fortnight, i compromised and said we could get one, as long as it lives outside, where animals should.

Luckily, shes not going for that, so it seems we wont be getting a stupid useless waste of space.

You'll be after a husky then. I don't know many dog breeds that'd be happy sleeping outside in minus temperatures!

If you kept it outside, no point in having one. Dogs are pack animals they need to live with the pack.

But not on a housing estate with small houses close together. We saw a beautiful cottage in a village in Wales. Ready to move into, except that next door there lived half the dogs in creation, all barking at the same time.

in the council estate down the road from where i grew up, there seamed to be a rule that the less space you had in the house, the bigger the dog that lived there, ie, the house with one old wifie had a wee dog but the family with 4 kids had a great dane

The whole of our family wants a dog except the missus....so she's set the guidelines.....it can't malt, nor can it slobber

. Which narrows it down to 2 breeds; Poodle (not a f*cking chance) and a schnauzer. So its a schnauzer! £500!!!!!!!!!.......no chance!

So, if any one knows of a schnauzer needing a good home then let me know

I love dogs, but only big ones.

The little mutant rat type dogs should be fed to the bigger dogs

That is a horse not a dog. Remember that old song "A four legged friend, a four legged friend.....". But next best friend and a few miles down the list is the wife

skiking:
try dogs trust (formerly NCDL) www.dogstrust.org.uk

Also poodles can be fine as long as they arent "show cut" which is bloody cruelty in my eyes. Poodles which are left "natural" and occassionally trimmed to keep them tidy look fine, its the ones which get turned into puff balls that I hate

All dogs drool, I had a rottweiler who didnt really shed, or drool....except when there was steak or an orange being eaten.

dalmatians are one of the heaviest shedding breeds, plus they tend to be 1 person dogs, rather than family pets.

We once had a poodle, but it was fairly big and it was vicious.

The bloody thing used to bite anyone and everyone, then we got an alsatian which was as soft as anything

Apparently, alsatians aren't called alsatians any more, they are called German Shepherds

German Shepherds are awful dogs, first to have a go at our dog on our dog walk.

I want a Beagle, lots of ears to play with!

are you right about that?

German shepherd could be considered racist, couldn't it

It was something I heard from people who are big in the GS world - I think its something to do with the word alsatian

. Whatever it is it will be a daft reason
