Just a lighthearted thread but apart from adorable bitzer mutts, what are you 3 favourite breeds of dog? I like Border collies, malamutes and golden retrievers/labradors ( equally) . I actually like most dogs but they are all just excessively gorgeous.
I love all dogs, but especially German shepherds, I have had three (four counting one when I was a child) but when my last girl died I felt after 50 years of having dogs I couldn’t watch another die, have a cat now and hopefully he will outlive me.
British Bulldog, Irish Wolfhound and Jack Russell. We have been rescuing bulldogs for over 20 years now, shame no one wants them after the puppy stage and especially as they hit the age of 8, it’s when they reach the age of everything starting to fail and hurt. They are so loving and cheeky, very stubborn too. I only have to look at the face and I end up with another one.
Not sure how common dingo crosses are these days. You never hear of dingos much now except in zoos. We had our boy in the 1990s. He has that lovely golden coloured coat, I feel sad remembering him because he died at about 8 years old, too young.
Ok confession time - I’ve shared my life with 12 dogs since I was 25 years old, 50 years ago. Plus four foster dogs - each of the fosters labradoodles. Ive loved all my dogs but stand outs / a kelpie cross rescued to us at 18 months after being abused starved and thrown out of a moving car outside the dog shelter Huge labradoodle - I was owner 4 in her first 5 months of life My two blue roan spaniels My currrnt bonkers young lab And every dog I’ve lived with
I'm also enjoying this thread. I think the dogs we love say quite a lot about us as people. I'm very much a "terrier" person and although I quietly admire other dogs, I hope I'll always have a naughty little terrier somewhere in my life.
Yes I love Afghan hounds. When I lived in Devon in the late 60’s an older woman in our small market town had 3. They (the dogs that is) were so regal. Then as an Archers listener, Mrs Antrobus and her girls became firm faviurites
