    He's certainly not sweet Ken, he's 25 kilos of pustulating, rippling muscle who can snarl for England.. He's gradualy learning who the boss is but even I've crapped myself in the process but he's taken an instant dislike to the Mother In Law.... Dayum he's my buddy !!

    We do not want him terrorising anything or that Chav - Staffie image so he is being intensively trained ... although he is allowed to chew the legs of R1 riders...

    We always had boxers when growing up love them but my middle daughter was petrified of dogs really scared but my other 2 wanted a dog so bad . We went for a yorkshire terrier in the end she is 2 now been a good dog does not shed hair but have to keep having her cropped. Tilly drags her round by her tail puts her in the wardrobe and plays hide and seek . Kiki is now over her fear of dogs just cause of having her.

    Good decision really

    Remal , if you have allergies don't get a Pug they shed hair like no tomorrow, the wife could hardly breathe when we had a Pug, so sadly she had to go. We now have a Pug x Shih Tzu and luckily he has thrown more to the Shih Tzu, so doesn't moult and is hypoallergenic the wife hasn't had the slightest problem with him, he's funny, intelligent and is a very loving dog and doesn't look too gay(well not when he's been clipped down, but looks like a black mop head when he hasn't :)

    Miniature labradoodle, the poodle bit makes them not malt or cause allergies.

    That's a Sphinx, mate. Cost a bloody fortune, but put one in the Mother in law's bedroom in the dark then flick on the light and it's worth every penny.

    No more Moon Palace if you get a dog Remal. We have two five month old English Bull terriers and it would kill me to leave them to go on hols. Get the girls a rabbit and when they get fed up with it you can eat it. Yanto and coco sunbathing.jpg

    I knew there was some logic behind purchasing such a hideous beast. It all makes perfect sense now lol

    I grew up with English bull terriers, great dogs but can be a bit aggro with other dogs, and they don't just growl! Then rescued a golden retriever soft as shit but molt like mad all the time but terrible twice a year lost the retrievers last year ill health aged 5!!! Got an 11 month old Dalmation, if you don't like picking shit up he's no good for you. If I was getting a small dog would probably go for fox terrier or similar

    Had a cat as a kid, have a dog now and there is no competition as a dog is just so much more a part of the family. Yes they make a mess and if you want to live in a pristine show home then they mean a load more work, but believe you me they are worth it. There is a joke out there about dogs vs woman, and why dogs are better, things like you can lock your dog in the boot and they are still glad to see you when you open the boot.

    Get the right dog and before long you will wonder how you managed without one.
