  • Anyone got any?
  • Would you want one (if so, what)?

We've just purchased two border collies from a local animal rescue centre (one was left abandoned (chained to some lamp post), whilst the other's owners couldn't look after him no longer). .

My wife wants a pug dog even though she's allergic to dogs and cats. Even if she wasn't I wouldn't one of the yappy little bastards. Personally I'd like a rescue greyhound.

Don't really like dogs, but if anything, it would be a basset hound. I'd call it Napoleon.

If I had loads of money, I'd go for an animal that I like but is still immense, like a crocodile or a camel.

You'd never be short of handbags with a crocodile and if the camel leaves hair all over the place unlike a dog you can knit yourself a coat.

Me and the missus are in the market for a house, once we have that sorted we're getting a dog. She wants a labrador, I want a springer spaniel. So it'll either be a crossbreed or both!

I like the idea of a rescued greyhound - again lovely dogs with no agression. Or a whippet if space is a problem.

I like most animals - the others on my "to get at some point" list are:

- another rabbit (cottontail/wild type, much more lively than typical domestic breeds)

- red eye American tree frog

- ducks/geese

- mudskipper

- pangolin (if I'm ever rich and have the means to keep one in a nice environment)

At the moment all I have is moths. They won't leave while the TV's on.

I have a cat called Dandelion - got her for my 10th birthday, so had her over 11 years now. She's black and part siamese and still looks like a kitten though really. Parents also have a rabbit and 3 chickens, but the chickens were eaten by the Fox (R.I.P Ginny, Hermione and Luna!). I like most pets to be honest, but would probably choose a cat over a dog just because they're less mess and effort. When I'm much older and settled down, I'm going to get Llamas.

Border collies are cool - I've always said that if I get a dog, then that's what I would get. Smart animals.

Got two cats from birth. The mother ran away a few months after giving birth to them.

Nice to see you are fulfilling your paternal duties though.

Our bunny escaped last night to have a fight with the local topcat in the middle of the road.

Hard as fvckin' nails, our bunny.

Whenever we let the Rabbit out for a run round the garden it bosses the cat around. It knows the cat is scared of it and has fun chasing it off the garden. Cat refuses to go near it.

It's amazing the spectrum of courage on a rabbit. Ranges from absolute panic being in the presence of anything else which moves, to "think I'll have a fight with a snake for a larf"

Also funny, when they win a fight with another animal they usually go in for a sneaky little rape too

Got a springer spaniel and I swear the clever little ****er is a genius. If you have food in your hand or on the plate he understands perfect English and will do all the tricks in the book to earn a reward. As soon as you clear your plate though he's suddenly as deaf as a bloody post.

Sounds a bit like my other half. :whistle:

I've finally convinced the missis to get a dog now we have our own place. I want a newfoundland but i've had to settle for an Old English Sheepdog instead, as she doesnt reckon she could walk a newfie

We both really want a labrador, just need to find the best place to get one from. Don't want to get one from some randomer out of the paper.

Any suggestions?

Steal one from a blind person .
