Following on from yesterday's "shit dog" thread, I've decided that you should buy a dog that SUITS you. Don't come on here saying "I'm a ballet dancer and my DH is a ballet dancer as well adn we have 14 rottweilers with studded collars" because you w...

We chose a labrador.
We live in the cuntry.
We own guns .
We wear Hunter wellies and Barbours on dog walks.

If we'd bought a little fluffy dog it would have been ridiculous.

If you don't suit your dog, maybe we could start a dog swap thread?

[Nowtheres4]

Maybe my dogs say i am confused then, as i have a 2 yr old springer spaniel, a 1yr old Cairn terrier and a 6 month old black lab.

i live in the suburbs in a largish 4 bed semi, with nice big garden and huge park on doorstep.

i'm a midwife by profession but taking a career break to do a job thats more family friendly so i work as a book keeper.

I have 4 children, 12, 7, 3 and 3 months.

In town but with woods a blessed 2 minute drive away.
Golden Retriever pup, 2 cats and battered, smelly Peugeot 406. Have wellies but never fired a gun. Wish I looked as good as my dog. She is beautiful

[porcamiseria]

I live on a council estate
I have a pitbull called saddam

[hatwoman]

Blimey I'm wondering if my dog (black lab) minds being seen out with me. I lack hunters and barbour and certainly don't have a gun. We live in the country and there are vast numbers of labs, golden retrievers and springers in the village but hunters and barbours are a rare sight. we're much more North Face and Inov8 round here. (plus a few riding boots)

[shockers]

My dog suits me...rotund, scruffy, dubious parentage, ginger and a coward.

We live in the country but I wear bright green Ikea wellies and drive a Volvo estate.I don't own a gun or a Barbour jacket.

Not really selling dog and I very well am I?

[Cretaceous]

We got a collie cross from the RSPCA, to suit our active lifestyle... However, I had a nasty accident and wasn't able to walk him for 3 months!?! Wished I'd got a lapdog, as it was so hard to organise his long walks...

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

I got halfway through this thread before I realised Ive read it before!!

[biddysmama]

my dad used to live in a one bedroom house...... with a giant shnauzer, his aunty bought it and it out grew her lol

[Southwestwhippet]

I live in the town but am minutes drive from proper countryside. I wear pink hunters that are covered in mud.

I own two whippets. I reckon I got it right

[EricNorthmansmistress]

Do you know this thread is 16 months old?

[BextheBambi]

I used to have a dog, now adopted by my dad, she's a jack russell and is just about as crazy as i am. She's a rescue dog who'd never even seen a park and used to get so excited when i came home she'd wet herself. (not saying that i do that ) She's alot more intelligent than she lets on though. I lived in the suburbs, borderline countryside, amongst the hunter wearing lab ownwers and was extremely proud to be walking my crazy jack russell in my Sweets print wellies with my bright pink hair. We were and still are a right pair.

[MamaG]

lol at this thread being resurrected

I am uber-cock sometimes

[Alouiseg]

I have a Bulldog, he is like dh and me in so far as he is broad chested and skiny legged.

I still wear pink hunters to walk him though and generally a bodywarmer stuffed to the brim with poo bags and home made liver cake!

[Megatron]

We have a British Bulldog. He has a permanently pissed off expression. We look exactly alike. Except he's beautiful.

[Alouiseg]

megatron another Bulldog owner Ours is 6 months old and called Rupert there is a pic of him on my profile, i am deeply and unashamedly in love with him!

[Doogle2]

I have a springer cross. People stop and say 'mad dogs' and I reply 'mad family'. Very well suited!

[hatwoman]

Alouiseq what a gorgeous dog. he looks so completely cuddleable

[Alouiseg]

Thank you hatwoman he is still very cuddleable despite being 22.5kg already!!!

I need to update the photos!

[Rebeccash]

I live in a town but with lots of green space in a teeny house which I share with my very sporty 8 year old son and very lazy rhodesian ridgeback. People are scared of her because she is huuuge and has a ridge but she's really really friendly, loves curling up on the sofa and is a scrounger. I do wear wellies but not hunters because I am too poor so have to make do with Asdas finest. Ooh and I don't have a car

[herladyshiplovesedward]

i never knew dog snobbery existed before!

if so, i would never have given house space to our scruffy mongrel terrier type

we have had her 6 years now though, so probably a bit late to send her back to the rescue and claim she doesn't give the right image!

[Ripeberry]

If I had a dog, it would have to be like a cat. Is there such a thing? Hardly barks, buries its own waste, lazy

[doggydaft]

I have a black lab and a springer spaniel. Both working lines. 1DD 10 and 1DS 8. Live on the edge of town, near woods, fields and beach.
Most often to be found wearing purple muck boots and hair covered manky fleece. Don't own a gun or go shooting but both dogs have attended gun dog training. Spaniel not great but lab doing pretty well, she's the smart one.
My dogs are far too good looking for me to look like them

[darkandstormy]

just like me orthodontically challenged, going senile sweetie loving jr terrier. gorgeous old girl

[junglist1]

at pitbull called Saddam that's classic

[MammKernow]

at doggydaft. My dog is too good looking and too smart to resemble me!

But we do live in the country, sometimes plagued with pheasants, we have 10 chickens, 1 gun, 2 recurve bows (as in 'and arrows'), 2 cats (but soon 3 kittens too) etc. We have a weimaraner the size of a pony.
