Corgis [ Dog Breeds etc. ]

They aren't mongrels: they are a 1stX.   A mongrel is when there are more than 3 breeds involved ............ neighbours paid £900.00 for a puggle when they became popular and were promised a Pedigree  ;D. Of course, we all have a Pedigree but they never got anything, not even from the KC  ;).  I warned 'em B4 they went to see the litter and they swore that they had been promised paper work. 

Mongrels are of course, much healthier  ;)

Think it takes a breed 50 years to be recognised by the KC wasn't that long ago jack Russell's were allowed into crufts.
30 or 40 years ago you'd NEVER pay for a cross breed,regardless of what it's mix but now? We were £500 each for our two and 60 quid for our pure bred German shepherd who we rescued when she was two AND she is KC registered

Don't get me started on the KC  >:(

When I was growing up I knew that Mr Smith's dog had been over friendly with Mrs Jone's bitch and how big the pups might be and what colours  ;D.  My Dad stlll wouldn't let me have a pup though  :-\  :'(

I looked at a litter of poochons, earlier in the year (just online), and they were £1,500 each.  :o
Bloomin georgeous though.

What will they be when they grow up  ;D

How about a Sealyham, Corgi or Otter Hound - on the Rare Breeds List and will cost as much ...........

Pugs of Norwich step out for 'Pug'o'ween' fun in Eaton Park

A group of pug owners have helped their much-loved pups get into the spirit of Halloween by letting them have a fancy dress "Pug'o'ween".

Pug o wee - all over the floor  ;D but don't they all look happy.  Some breeds recognise each other and seem happy together  :-*

So sorry for the loss of your dog Jaypo, :'( i know exactly how devastating it is to lose your precious pet
I lost my yorkshire terrier x lola in August, still cry when anyone asks me about her it was very sudden although she had been ill for a few months :'(
I am not sure if i will get another dog, but i will want a nice calm natured one if i do, as i have 3 cats and she was lovely with them,  they accepted her straight away,and they had never seen a dog in their life before :) :)
I would prefer a rescue dog, but obviously must be ok with cats
I was told poodles might be ok, and there are poodle rescues, as with other breeds, but i dot mind what breed really as long as it is small, and not a puppy
Only a distant thought yet,has anyone any idea of what poodles are like in nature, or can suggest any other calm natured dog, not too boisterous ?

Poodles are hunt, point, retrieve used for putting up and fetching game.  I wouldn't hesitate.   

Rescue is great but be careful as many Centres seem to show people the 'dog of the day/month'.  There are a lot of staffies in care.  Greyhounds always need homes as do whippet/lurcher types.  Both are fast in short bursts  ;D

Browse the rehoming sites perhaps - see what the Centres protocols are.  Would you take an older dog for example?

Cavaliers have health problems though particularly in the heart.  The KC could have stopped all that!

I looked after one for years and he was a sweetie  :-*.  Happy.  Easily fitted into our life style. Went happily for walks ......   3 down the road yap a bit, they wind each other up  :D

I'm trying to think what I would have if push came to choosing  ;D it's a bit like Desert Island Discs  8)

OK - whippet
Bedlington
Sealyham Terrier
Corgi

Caucasian Shepherd - to keep them in order and to warm out bed  :D

I've had 5 spaniels and bred 3 litters,none of them had heart issues but yes you're right,they can have heart murmurs,I think most breeds these days come with their own issues,just luck of the draw if yours is ok or not.my last cavalier was 14 when she passed

The 1 I looked after was nearly 18.  Died in his sleep.  Heart problems and dicky guts  ::) which Buscopan sorted. 

Our cocker had 'dry eye' [which has a long name] as do Westies who have skin problems too.  Raw feeding should solve that one.

Some breeds don't live very long.  Years ago some boxer lines had early cancers  :'(

No dog should drool!!!! it's bad breeding.  Gt Danes were particularly prone for years but heads are smaller and jowls tighter ;-)

Aww that's a brilliant age😊 bulldogs and Great Danes don't live long,just wish they'd stop breeding these dogs so intensely 😡 I also had two boxers,a white one who was fine,no issues at all and a brindle one,huge characters,I used to laugh at them every day,just the expressions on their faces
Did you watch the dog rescuers yesterday?omg those poor sharpei dogs 😢
