Lighthearted - poshest people you know dog breeds

[Brightonbabe5]

The poshest family I know own a gorgeous wolfhound named who's always covered in mud & loves children & a little Jack Russell😁

Such a stereotype but an Afghan Hound.

One wolfhound (nowhere near Brighton though so probably a different one).
Several springers.
One Labrador.
One ‘absolutely no idea, my dear, but I saw him in the pound and had to have him’.

Lab and gun dogs.

Golden retriever
Anyone who has a golden retriever is superior 🤣

Jack Russell
Bull terrier

Golden retriever Anyone who has a golden retriever is superior 🤣

this is factual. I wish I was a golden retriever in a middle class family - the life!

Labradors

Or anything to which the adjectives large, working or gun can be applied.

And some terriers (especially if rare breed and/or historically connected to your ancestral seat)

Plus corgis, of course

Also Cocker Spaniels, if they're good enough for Kate & Wills (Lupo) ! Also come to think of it Kate's sister Pippa also has a Cocker

Poshest person I know has an ever growing menagerie of rescue dogs of all shapes, sizes breeds and mixes. They are very active in rescue and never turn one away.

Another ‘to the manor born’ type ‘posh’ person I know also has two Jack Russells.

Locally, the people who consider themselves posh tend to have Labradors and Jack Russells, all of which are really badly behaved.

Labradors or Springers. But the labs are black, fox red is very nouveau, apparently 😂

I have lots of posh people fussing over my dog because she such a gorgeous looking dog. They fuss and rub her tummy as she rolls over for said petting. They love her.....until they ask what breed she is. She's a long legged Staffordshire bull terrier x American bull terrier. Then with the usual open mouth they beat a hasty retreat. Don't they know staffs are the biggest whooses on four legs???

It's almost always a black lab/black cocker/tiny rescue terrier combo.

Poshest local family have a lurcher.
Posh friend has perfectly trained German pointers.

Poshest people I know (landed gentry whose estate has been in the family since 1500's) have a springer and a pointer.

Standing joke is that the officer class in the Army are issued with a black Labrador on passing out from Sandhurst

That's interesting about black labs, do yellow or brown have the same social standing? 😁

We are on our second springer and everyone who meets her thinks we’re posh

We’re not, I just love springer spaniels

Every truly posh person I have met has a springer or a black lab

I don’t know any truly ‘posh’ people but the most middle class I know have horribly behaved cockerpoos

Black labradors.
Springers.
Jack Russell.

Staffies for one guy - he adored them and sang their praises all day. He had them growing up, apparently, and had so many happy memories.

Working cockers, a fox terrier who also goes shooting, a collie of some kind who I think is probably a rescue, and the naughtiest Jack Russell I’ve ever met. And a lot of working labs. There’s a lot of shoots around here, so working gundogs abound!

Beagle
Jack Russell
Setter

Camilla PB has rescue JRTs.

Makes me love her even more.

Hounds are far posher than mainstream labradors and golden retrievers. Lurchers, wolfhounds and deerhounds are owned by the posh people I know.

I have a golden retriever and am thrilled to know that this makes me posh.
