Dogs

[Unabomber]

A dog arrived at my front door today so I went out to see it and then let him in. Was a bit worried how he would act with my dog but they were getting in great after a few mins. Anyway I called the number on his collar and then after a while his owner picked him up. Lives kinda close to me but still a bit of a walk and had escaped. Good job I was working from home as anything could’ve happened to it.

I was waiting for the punchline then . . . .

Border Collie. They are nuts but very good family pet just need a fair bit of training and walks etc

Saw a picture today of the purported 8 stone pitbull called 'Beast' that savaged and claimed the life of the young lad in South Wales this week. The thing looks demonic. Absolutely beyond me why people continue to keep creatures like this as pets and without specialist knowledge. Such tragedies will continue to happen. The previous owner is trying to divest himself of any responsibility or blame - but that's precisely where it lies, as opposed to simply the ****wit that deemed themselves capable of owning such a dangerous animal and saw fit to leave it unsupervised around children.

We got our first dog together last month, this is Rupert the sproodle at 11 weeks old. He's settled right in, glad we didn't put new carpets down in our new house as he loves running in with muddy paws and has had a few accidents. Training him to be left alone at the moment, he's ace in his crate and can manage 90 mins, but leave him in a room for 15 mins it's crying, howling and a few toilet accidents. He's got two weeks before were both back at work and he will be alone 3/4 hours a few times a week.

Because they have a small c0ck syndrome  or most likely involved in crime.

It's a trophy. " Dont feck with me else my big dog Beast" will have you"

Sad bastard, hope anyone involved with the dog has that kids death forever etched in their soul.

Have you  thought about getting another one? It's definitely not twice the work and they will entertain themselves

The reason Labradors are by far the most popular breed and the breed most used for seeing eye dogs and therapy dogs is that they're so good being around children and nervous people and are one of the easiest dogs to train. As well as always being loyal and always want to see you and be fussed and play.

Only downside is they can grow to be quite big and strong and they need a lot of walking and playing with (I would say at the very least 45mins a day of walking or playing fetch, but more likely an hour) and you can't leave them on their own for long periods everyday, so aren't really suited for if you live in a small apartment or are at work all day or can't walk them.

I ran it by the Mrs, she said **** that 😂. We would love another one further down the line, we've only had him in the house 3 weeks at the moment and we are learning as going on but definitely enjoyable.

Pointer. German wire haired, I think.

 

I've been looking at them. Mrs says too big.

Not sure but looks like it needs its moustache twizzling at the end and a monocle.

Yes, definitely, my friend's got one. It's not MASSIVE, but hardly tiny. Very good dog though.

 

Just been staying with some friends who have a cockapoo, and he was a great lad. If I were forced to have a dog, that'd be on my list

They turn YOU into a humongous cretin don't they? I've just spent the last 48 hours telling a walking teddy bear what a good boy he is

A dog that would probably never be thought of but, a whippet…. They’re a proper comforting dog, and can be as active as you want, or as lazy as you want. Since having ours it’s been a breath of fresh air, he just comes and sits with you and you instantly don’t give a shit about anything and feel pretty content. Very easy dogs to look after too, and great with kids!

Our five month old cocker spaniel won't stop pulling on her lead when we're out, she basically turns into a complete nutcase as soon as she leaves the house (which is two or three times a day for 30 mins). Her recall is good, she sits and waits on demand etc so other aspects of training are going really well. Anyone got any tips to help this?

Put a jacket potato on a piece of rope that's adjacent to her and yank it back every time she pulls

We have two cockapoos and whilst it’s not exactly twice the work, together they can be a handful. Our first has slight separation anxiety and eventually the second has helped this, though it has taken time.
