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?

Does owning an English Mastiff, a Labrador Cross and a Jack Russell mean that we're completely screwed up? I do have pink Hunters...

Righto - who can guess what breed of dog I have ...

I live in a large village, urban but not far from open fields and good walks.
I have wellies.
I have 3 young children.
I work pt.
We are all slightly loopy

What dog have I got ...?

i live in london, work in the meejah, and the only pair of wellies i own were bought for glastonbury. dh has several pairs of hunters, a gun licence, a landrover and a subscription to The Field.
we own a much loved black labrador (guess who chose him....)
worried: does this mean we have to get another dog now just for me? or does the fact that i quite like gardening and sometimes wear sunglasses on my head qualify me for half shares in the lab?

oh and plonker..springer? i always wanted a spaniel....

Dp has leather Hunters, dd (who is 14 and I wasn't impressed with dp for spending that much money on wellies when her feet are still growing!!) has Blue Hunters.
We have 8 dogs and 2 kids
1 Whippet
1 Lurcher
1 Staffie
2 Jack Russells
2 Black Labs
1 Brown Lab
and 2 Springers
A land Rover Discovery (big mistake it keeps breaking down and is only 2 yrs old)
and a Zaffira.
Oh and my wellies, well they cost a £5 from the market,

Oh and we have guns too. Dp spent the day beating, and I lmao as he got cold.

no, I forgot Daisy and Butter .. we have 10 dogs

Saphron, I am very jealous, and also a little bit in awe. 10 dogs?! I would love the space, but unfortunately we are stretched to the limit with our two.

I love that there is a nice, big, we heart dogs thread in AIBU. It seemed for a while that every other day there was an 'AIBU to say that dog owners should be banned from walking their dogs during daylight hours because my PFB is afraid of dogs, and today had a big screaming fit because there was one on the other side of the road from us' sort of thread, so it is nice for the dog lovers to have a lovely thread like this one.

No, not a springer. But that was the other dog that we considered when we got ours

setter? pointer?

plonker - is it a setter?

saphron, i want 10 dogs too...my spaniel is lonely...

Ah no, but setters are gorgeous!

'tis a gundog - you're on the right lines

weimi?

are we talking HPR type breed or an all rounder?

All rounder. Although ours is a little bit dim and doesn't retrieve very much that doesn't include shoes

is it a poodle?

not that they are dim!

another sort of spaniel - cocker? clumber?

neeeeeed to know!

Not a poodle or a spaniel

lab or retriever then?

but which one ...

ok I'm opting for a flat coated retriever

(this could go on and on couldn't it . . .!)

lol I know, I think that you think we're much more interesting that we actually are

She is a beautiful, soppy, loving and dim Golden Retriever

awwwww

she sounds beautiful

She is
