already got this one, but if the dog was cute enough id get another
Ridgeback
Staffy
Retriever
They're proper dogs.
Also they don't shed hair, because poodles don't malt so they don't drop everywhere and are good for people with allergies because of the lack of this. Also saves hoovering everyday, which is always a bitch ;p
I think they are quite cute, but normal poodles are a bit :yuck:
Aww your horrid!
My dogs are little but little and and fat sort of and they don't break, but any smaller breed than mine and they do start to yap a bit. We've never really had room for big dogs, so what can you do! but you can still play rough and cuddle thats all the fun of having a dog
just cos a dog is a smaller or medium breed, it doesnt mean you cant do anything with them, not that theres much you CAN do with a dog, except walk them, play with them etc.
I wouldnt want my kid to play particularly rough with any dog though, cos any dog can turn, big or small.
you can't really tell on the picture of the deerhound but they're fucking huge.
Taller than a staffy btw and kick their arses on the playground

Nice :thumb:
My dad wanted to call our dog Batfink when we got him. He wasn't allowed as my mum wanted something that went well with the rabbits name....( :rolleyes: ) and Batfink and Maisy just didn't cut it......
Names also suggested were "Dogboy" "God" and "Stinky"
Luckily, just as I thought my dad was going to die by my mums nails, I suggested Ben :yes:
I don't really like Labradoodles etc, they're a bit gimmicky at the moment and it doesn't sit all that well with me, but I'm not about to start judging anyone else for wanting one or saying they're cute ffs.
Good working dogs. Most of my mates have retrievers for shooting.
This is our Sophie, she's a chinese crested Powderpuff, rescue.

Oh the irony.
There's something to be said for having a popular breed.

A lot of people do have them because they have a fantastic reputation with children and are generally really good-natured. I'd say that was testimony to why they're such an excellent family pet; not a reason not to get one.
Each to their own, of course, I just happen to like them.
The more mixed they are, the less genetic disorders they inherit. :thumb:

And don't call me "mate". :rolleyes:
crossbreeding is BETTER for the dogs, DECREASES health problems. Pedigree dogs are often inbred, and that causes the same problems as inbreeding in humans would. To make a healthier gene pool, dogs need to cross breed. The healthiest dog is a complete mongrel.
Pedigree dogs are unnatural.
this isnt opinion its fact.
I think they're quality too, but I suppose It depends what your looking for.
If you want a dog just to look cute and sit on your lap get a little yappa.
But if you want an active dog to play with, or a dog for your kids then get a Retriever or a Staffy

against gods will?! wtf. haha. If your going to argue about "gods will" then we shouldnt have any dog breeds at all, because every breed is a result of artificial selective breeding. In fact if its all about gods will then dogs should never have been domesticated.
There's nothing wrong with selective breeding really. We've done it with every domesticated animal on the planet - then there selective horticulture.
