I have a soft spot for cocker spaniels, especially the blue roans, they are beautiful dogs. I've a rescued wire haired fox terrier and I think she's gorgeous when her coats grown out thick and curly, not like the coiffed ones on Crufts.
My last rescue girl was a Heinz variety, looked like a brown baby grizzly bear, she got to nearly 17 years old. I had 10 great years with her, we have always found the mixed breeds seem to get that little bit longer.

Sue growing up, my parents had Cavaliers, they are really lovely and loving dogs

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. We’ve had two and they are adorable. They’re excellent family dogs but they’re also sporty and game for anything. ❤️

I must say, all puppies are absolutely adorable, but there is something extra special about GSD pups (those ears! 😍)

My name says it all! Wonderful, intelligent, loyal and very brave - and beautiful.

Labradors - black Labs, to be precise. We have always had black Labs and they are just the best dogs ever. But, as I always say, every dog owner says their dog is the best - and none of them are wrong!

Ah, that’s a lovely sentiment! smile

Tibetan Spaniels.
Gracie is a Tibbie cross.
My first dog Lily was a Tibbie and she really was an absolute angel.
RIP Lily Bean ♥️

Heinz 57 rescue - the best. Strong, healthy genes, intelligent - wonderful.

That's an easy one the clown of dog breeds the Boxer.
I no longer have a dog of my own seem have time taken looking after my kids dogs when they are away or out. I walk my daughter rottie several days a week and also look after my sons Olde English Bulldog. I adore all dogs but more a fan of the bigger breeds.

Oh I love her face Curly, she looks gentle, ours is quite daft as well.

Her eye looks strange as it's been shaved for a recent operation on a tumour on her eyelid.

Labradors - big, daft and so gentle. Ours is now 12 years old and it's heartbreaking watching her health failing, love her to bits.

Red fox labrador, because he is asleep next to me.

Ours will always be the beautiful German Shepard. Loyal. Loving. Protective, big bundle of fun! We have had many over the last 60 odd years. Always well trained! I do love the mini schnauzers although never owned one.
