Thread: Photos of your dog

hope I dont get lynched for this...but skin thick enough to take it if thats the case.
your average Labrador will do that and be more than happy to lie in front of fire and leak hair all over house for the rest of the time.
a crossbred mongrel will do it too.
whatever you get,you will have it for 12-14years . choose wisely.... I had working dogs as young fella. as married man with young family I got first dedicated hunting dog..Buttons was gsp/huntaway so had guts in spades and was hard as nails..she did all my duck retrieving and chased many wallabies out for me to shoot.if my training had been better she wouldve been better all around.
next was Willie....picture kids book Clifford but paint him black...45kgs of goofball golden retriever huntaway...took 3 year to grow up and start retrieving but was machine after that. we gave him away when shifting house as finding rental with 2 dogs was hard work...hunting wallaby when 1080 had been dropped isnt dog friendly so he was redundant.
Nugget was next..cocker spaniel from breeder....not a good one it turns out. he has ton of guts,nose to die for and doesnt give in..but he is blind now at 12yr old and has been for 2 years...piss poor genetics mean too much loose skin on head and no tears.
then we got Meg...1/2 gsp 1/4 lab 1/4 beardie...mum is hard out beardie/gsp pig dog..... she retrieves all my waterfowl and indicates deer n pigs for me to shoot...and finds ones I have when I believe her........she will break my heart when she goes to big duckpond in sky.
I prefer mongrels/xbred dogs for hybrid vigour....hopefully less chance of bad genes...sometimes it works sometimes not so much.
if you decide to go with a particular breed PLEASE get advice on good reputable breeders BEFORE letting wife n kids see puppies..... Nugget taught me that lesson and its been expensive one.
hope my long winded ramble helps.
