is quite good, you answer a few questions and then it suggests a list of breeds
True that the vacuum cleaner has to be your new best friend though.
However to reiterate they DO need taking for good walks. My dog on a normal day will run with a German Shepherd until that lies down and has enough. Chase the local staffie round for a bit until that is tired out and lies down. Come to me and walk out of field with me before running back onto the field to try and run with a greyhound. Utterly bonkers.
Best thing about Staffy's and English's is that they're dependable, people fiendly and extremely couragous.
That's the problem with them, they're totally manic. A lot of my mates keep Springers for gun dogs and beating but they're fucking hard work.
I'd say it depeds on how experienced you are with actually training the dog.
Awwww but they try so hard to please all the time? They do calm down eventually but they are well known for having very active lives. I think its very rewarding.
i think theyre the best!
:yes:
We've got a yellow labrador and he's great. Everyone on the estate knows his name because he loves kids with a passion. Even though he's huge if a guest comes round he jumps at the porch windows until they come in and give him attention. He's well trained, never a problem (Except for all the hair that gets everywhere!) etc. They love food though, because my mums the one that feeds him most of the time he follows her round everywhere, and he tries not to misbehave in case she doesn't give him as much food haha. And he won't eat his food until he's gotten what he can of our dinner (Mostly my brothers who fall for his sad little 'i've never been fed' face). Great dogs, great fun and give you a run for your money when you have a tug of war with them
We got Sophie (a Lhasa Apso X Chinese Crested) from the RSPCA when she was 7 weeks old and she's the most beautiful pup in the world!!!

Also my Dad breeds show dogs, and I know that the ones which aren't good for showing he sells quite cheaply as pets.
