Such a stereotype but an Afghan Hound.

Lancelottie · 04/11/2020 10:14

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.

this is factual. I wish I was a golden retriever in a middle class family - the life!
wetotter · 04/11/2020 10:53

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

Brightonbabe5 · 04/11/2020 10:57

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.

Svelteinmydreams · 04/11/2020 11:00

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

Sostenueto · 04/11/2020 11:06

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.

GrumpyMiddleAgedWoman · 04/11/2020 12:39

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

MaidenMotherCrone · 04/11/2020 13:16

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

mpsw · 04/11/2020 13:25

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

Brightonbabe5 · 04/11/2020 16:37

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

MrsJunglelow · 04/11/2020 16:49

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

vanillandhoney · 04/11/2020 16:52

Black labradors.
Springers.
Jack Russell.

Spudlet · 04/11/2020 16:56

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!

Camilla PB has rescue JRTs.

Makes me love her even more.

CousinLucy · 04/11/2020 17:01

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

PuppyMonkey · 04/11/2020 17:06

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