Popular Post Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted October 14, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) now my dog has got a bit older its started being very funny with other dogs, shes not vicious where she will hunt a dog down and attack it but if another dog comes up to her 9 times out of ten she will go for it just to warn it off. but some dogs who want to play she will play with them and run about with them, but in all honesty she just wants to be left alone to play with me. shes been very well socialised with people and dogs so its not thatits down to me, just in some staffys nature i suppose. I have got a Beagle, I got it from the Dog's home about 8 years ago. Initially the dog was a nightmare for a few weeks especially with the walk up's (Dog's just saying hello and that). It seemed that I was part of the problem as I tensed up thinking it was all going to go wrong. Once I started saying hello to the other dog and relaxed a bit all was OK. He now will allow puppies to lick his face and so on. Never had a problem since then. He is slightly over protective of my Granddaughter but that's is just how dog's are. (He is 15 years old now and had a check a month ago using ultra sound and as many checks as possible. He passed it all with flying colours.)

Stevo985 Posted October 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2015 Most of the dogs I want to own are ones that are difficult to look after I'd love a husky, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted October 15, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2015 One of the dogs on my list is a border terrier. They're probably the easiest to look after of the dogs I want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Getting a dog was literally the best thing I ever did. There's times when she plays up and it gets irritating but she's learning slowly. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I **** love Beagles. That one is awesome, AND.Nice one, he is ace and the last living one out of all his brothers and sisters.It's amazing how much more happy my life is since I got my dog compared to before. It gives me structure and probably helps with the fact that I will never have my own kids so this dog and my granddaughter really are important to me.

Seat68 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Looking to get another rescue dog in the new year, George, my dog, who is ace, and better than all your dogs, really needs a companion, so going to keep an eye on the local pounds.(do we call them pounds? I suspect thats an americanism, you know what I mean though, I am sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Getting this handsome fella from a retired greyhound rehoming place next weekend, taken him for a few of walks this week and he's great. Also, checked his racing record and he used to be quite the racer. We have picked him a villa collar and lead up though so he'll soon get used to the losing feeling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Could Be Rotterdam Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Handsome looking pup mate! Are greyhounds difficult to keep? Easy as, they can do with two 20 minute walks a day and lounge around for the rest of it. Took him for about an hours walk today at the kennels, went straight to his bed for a kip when we got back. Main difficulty is them adjusting to life in a home as they have never really met any other dogs, used stairs, and always live to a strict routine. Even takes a while for them to learn to play as they've never had it before. Looking forward to seeing the development from racer into pet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere between the ages of 3-5, our little chap is 4. Has been with the kennels for 6 months and already been sent back 4 times. Not his fault, one guy took him back after a day because he didn't realise how big he was (spent time with him before adopting), another returned him because his son (2) didn't get on with him, another left him in a crate and was surprised when he started to chew, and lastly and most disgustingly one ba***** locked him in their garage. Needless to say I fell for his story as much as I did him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ender4 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I don't mind dogs generally, like some dogs, but i find that the UK sometimes goes way overboard with their dog fetish. I drove to a local park in Solihull with my kids (the park that is within walking distance has no kids facilities, so we have to drive to this one instead ) I found that there is a dog agility 'playground' in the park. Yes, a section of the park has been converted into what looks like a playground with tubes and equipment for dogs to run around. Very strange that the council places emphasis on dogs over children.
