staffworld have a nose its my site for my dogs and my friends |
we,ve got a twelve month old border collie and is golden round kids and with minimal training you will have one very obiedient dog,but does need a lot of exercise daily.
|
Another vote for the Staff, mine is 18 months, excellent with other dogs (socialised with other dogs early on)
and he's brill with the kids, two 5 year old twins and they love him to bits :) |
what do you want from a dog? What sort of lifestyle do you lead?
It's all very well saying 'get this dog, get that dog' but the dog needs to fit in with you as well as you getting on with the dog breeds common traits. Do you want energetic, do you want a dog that'll prety much exercise itself? Will you only ever have one dog or is this the first of many? There are a lot of things to think about. Paul. |

aload of bull****, it is how they are raised:cuckoo: , i have 3 now, 2 females and 1 male, aged 7years, 3 years and 16 months, i also have 2 children aged 9 and 5 and the Staffordhire Bull Terrier is renowned for their loyalty and affection towards children. "NANNY DOG" MY MALE IS AN ENTIRE STUD WHO IS ABSOLUTLY FINE WITH ALL OTHER BREEDS AND ANY SEX.. (SOCIALISED FROM DAY 1)Responsiable owner_ship.:luxhello: But do alot of research on the dogs and their breeds, make sure you use a reputable breeder and make sure you see both the parents and make sure that you are happy with their temperment, socialise the pup from day 1, attend puppy classes and remember you are the boss. I personaly would not buy a dog from a rehoming centre if there is going to be children as you dont know the dogs back-ground. good luck and hope you find the perfect pooch.. P.S try looking on champdogs as there are lots of reputable breeders for all breeds on there. vicky staffworld have a nose its my site for my dogs and my friends I have been round many thousands of dogs through all the dog shows we attend and the most unpredictable dog around others bar none is the Staffy. I love dogs and respect all breeds but the one I have very little trust or time for is the Staffy. I do like Rotties though so I'm not one of those baby eater hater types. |

Get a pug :)
Just look at that face :notworthy :D http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1934/pugfaceiq9.jpg :luxhello: |
Owned a few dogs in my time, but the Cockapoo we have now is the best family dog I've come across. Doesn't shed hair, very clever and good companions.

Have you ever tried using a full stop? :razz: |

Can only speak as i find, but just got a jack-russell about a month ago, and its fantastic.
Got it from a rescue-centre, but now its become acquainted is very affectionate, but won't let anyone near the house unless we're with it, (it barks like a much bigger dog). Seems ok with other dogs, and is houd=se trained. If I was you, I'd go and have a look around a few rescue centres, to see if it helps you. :) |
P.B.G.V.
Great Breed :) As a Pup http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...s/flo_0005.jpg Bit Older http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v479/kbsub/flo.jpg |

GSD's are often owned by people with no understanding of how to deal with them and this leads to agressive crazy dogs. Its the only dog I ever ever been attacked by and it has happend twice with seperate dogs, both family pets both known to me, both just turned for no discernable reason. Many people I used to associate with have had deliberately violent aggressive dogs trained to intimidate and bite rotties/staffies ridgbacks etc. None of them has ever growled at me once they knew I was a welcome addition to the house. |

what about a kerry blue terrier?...super all round dog,have a look at The Kerry Blue Terrier Foundation
you don't see many about these days as most people go for the fashionable breeds but the kerry is really worth a look.i allways promised myself one as a kid and since getting kerry's i can't recommend anything else. imho :) |
I'm sorry, but Staffs look like Devil Dogs to me! :lol1:
I'm sure there are a lot of good natured ones out there, but if you had to choose a dog for a tattooed f*ckwit in an England football top, that would be the dog you'd choose! |
english bull terrier, great with kids, very protective and if you get a tricolour like ours they are very different and you dont see many about at all.

Hello
I would say a Cocker Spaniel: They are brilliant with children and great dogs (if a bit over excitable when they see you!). http://www.dollardays.com/images/b38/image2/cc019.jpg http://www.champdogs.co.uk/images/l3079p1.jpg (not my pictures) Steve |
there have been two cockers in my family and they always got bad ears that stink, great dogs though :thumb:
still think a chiuhuah is the best dog :D you can put it in a shoebox when you get fed up of it :p |
