    Dobermann - Husband had banged on about getting one for years and I finally relented, went to Dobermann Welfare in Glasgow for her and am now converted to them.
    Whippet - Seemed like a good idea at the time.

    Have also had short term - GSD, rottie, shih-tzu (sp?), border collie, springer.

    From now on it'll be dobermann's all the way, though I was eyeing up a lovely rottie at the county show the other day - could have taken him home.
    LOL he was a lovely dog could have quite happily put him in the jeep and taken him home.

    The nice thing about living in a small place is that if you dont know what you are doing....there's always somebody who does,or thinks they do! x

    used to have an American Cocker as a kid tri coloured, he was a real character, used to get so excited when we were going to go on walks and he was in the car used to lick the window and yip until we got there you needed ear defenders, daft dog but lovable and a true friend.

    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do

    2 greyhounds.

    Just because I feel a breed that is as rediculously overbred as greyhounds are, need as much help as they can get. 10,000+ greyhounds die every year. That's FAR too many without homes.

    Rottie and terrier x

    My third rescue rottie, could not imagine life without ma boy - they are fantastic dogs and i have 2 toddler girls and he is no bother what so ever, always makes me smile with his antics - although some people are very over reactive when they see him

    Would love a Rottie always liked the breed and they are very misunderstood and wrongly branded as aggressive dogs, after all is said and done dogs are like children they are all blank canvasses its us as their owners and teachers that make them into what they become.

    i have a 6 month old black lab and had a golden lab before that.
    labradors are so laid back and adoring its impossible not to love them!
    you can do anything with them, they are very intelligent and loyal dogs.
    my Ozzy rolls around the floor most of the day with my three and one yr olds, they adore him. he's the third child in our family! lol
    will always be a labrador owner x
    Everyone is a genius,
    but if you judge a fish
    on its ability to climb a tree,
    it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.....

    Have 2 staffies. 1 Red boy 1 Brindle girl.
    Absolutely love staffies, nicest nature in any dog ive ever known. Very intelligent and love a good long walk and what i call "stick time". Chasing sticks can be great fun!!!!!
    Almost bought a Bulldog but he was crossed with a mastiff so decided against it as I dont think that mixture works so well. Always wanted a bullie though.

    A pedigree whippet who came to me by fate and is the most loyal and loving dog and a whippet bedlington but she is more whippet.
    Fantastic dogs to own, great with kids, great companions and you never know they are in the house (unless you trip over one behind you)
    I had boxers before but had so many health issues with them that it was heartbreaking and I felt they did not have the quality of life they should have had if they had not had such problems.

    A mongrel - he looked at us as a pup 14 years ago in Balmore and we were hooked - now he's a grand old man with old man's bad habits e.g. selective deafness

    I've just taken ownership of a lovely wee dog, he is a Chinese Crested Powder Puff. I've had him 2 days and so far all is going well. He maybe needs a bit more socialising but other than than that he is a delight.
    I was worried he might not like my small furries but so far he doesn't seem that bothered by the rabbits although he is taking a fair bit of interest in the degus (probably because they squeak a lot like a toy)

    Border Terriers - they are great in the house, total lap dogs. Brilliant with the baby but can be a nightmare with other dogs.

    Default what dog?

    mine is a staff - unbelievable as i had a massive dislike for this breed - but she picked me as a 12 week old pup and came to me by chance a few weeks later (her name is a nickname of mine but i didnt know that at the time) - i love her very much, she is perfect in every way and just the BEST other than a bit of snoring lol
