I think we might get a dog. Is there ANY alternative to a labrador?

[Enid]

I'd prefer something smaller

but it has to be 100% kidproof, clever and active, preferably with no hair at all or low shedding...

( and i adore pphs poodle)
btu enid arent oyu sick of the country
wnatign to move to the town
up to oyur ears in babies prams and stuff

Get a tamagotchi.

and i BET i knwo whose farkign idea that is enid

agree with hunker. you can take the batteries out of those

or one of those robotic puppies - texter was it? you don't have to feed it, it doesn't shit all over your house and you don't have to take it for walks and it won't destroy things.

Did I mention I have a wonderful Border Collie and would not entertain the idea of anything else ???

A little bit blacker and this could be her.

oh I adore having a dog

Cannot imagine life without one actually

Cod you are a weirdo

Darrelrivers - I have a miniature Schnauzer as well - He's nearly 2 . Very Clever and doesnt moult . and very quiet - i dont think he ever really went through the mad puppy stage - My friends puppy (hound) is abit of a nightmare . If you want a labrador or labradoodle - you have to be very strong as they really can Pull .
Saying that, If I could turn back time - I dont think I would have got a Dog - he really is a tie - I've always had Cats - so much easier - But I do Love him and wouldnt part with him now - Just that Im going to be tied for the next 16yrs or so ..........

Puppies in Dorset.

watch out justbeme, our schnauzer didn't know how to bark until she was 2 when my mum's dog taught her how to and now she is rather noisy
apart from that a fab dog

Me too cd

They are such a healthy edition to a family, I would never be without ours.

looking forward to finding out what you choose enid.

picture of one of my poods here

hmm

Guest dog and own new puppy are not the same thing tho!

|puppies are hard work¬

It takes a while to train them
they wake you up at night
they bite
they chew
they jump up at people
they are a pain in the bum on the lead
etc etc

they cry all night and then piss al over your hosue

god enid
i so want you to haev a nice relaxing few years wiht dd3!

DOGS THAT SNIFF YOUR FANNY must be shot btw

thye shit in the house too
(well mine didn't but I gather a lot do)

Enid's cottage, in a forest(or something), with her angelic looking daughters would be completed as ideal in my mind with the addition of a dog.

Cod please do not disturb my idyllic picture of her life with the mundane realities.

Enid, get the dog.

Justustwo Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are known to be excellent with small children but not everyone's (or my) cup of tea - bit dopey for my liking.

I have one of these but agree on being dopey!!! We call him the ten second dog!!

Very good with children and easy to maintain,and very cutie as puppies, train well

hehe I love them

Labradors shed!! Some of them big time!! We had one that would leave the shape of a labrador behind on our navy rug every time he got up! I am not allergic to dogs but even I was to him!

My mum has got a bassett hound. Despite their depressed appearance (!) they have lovely, micheivous characters and gentle and affectionate and even good with cats!

Have a look at the Dial-A-Dog section.
They have breed advice/contacts and rescue society contacts

but i want ennid to go intot he town where she will not hav mad unhinged stphen king type farmers near her.
