Also, a bit off topic, but I wonder if the whole working breeds don't really work anymore thing is why there are so many little crossbreeds being bred now. Because there is a higher demand for small, cute dogs that don't require much in the way of mental stimulation and exercise? And if there...

I'm watching on catch-up? Is it just me or was the labrador really overweigh?

This!! My Mum has a really fluffy, cute little sheltie and children are always rushing up to her to try and stroke her. My mum always says, seis friendly but you should never stroke a dog without asking their owner first.

Ted doesn't look too impressed with Crufts :D

What breed of dog do you have? I like watching the showing too

My friend was there showing her samoyed :) we and Ted have just sat down with a glass of wine to watch the agility. Love watching the agility but doubt my gangly "cocker" would be that great at it haha

Sorry but this comes across as a bit condescending. OP has mobility issues and just wants to feed her dog as best as possible and have it delivered. I feed tails and Ted gets on with it better than he did AVA etc which supposedly scores 4. Something on all about dog food. Tbh dogs are scavengers...

She has nice hair though

Every damn day Ted surprises me. Good or naughty, it's a mix. Most recently he dodged past me at the front door and was play bowing on the front lawn and wouldn't come in. He's a quick little bugger too. At which point my daughter came to the front door crying holding a pair of my knickers that...

Hahaha

We always had rabbits as kids, I think they're really cute but didn't find them to be great pets. They don't seem to enjoy being petted etc even when tame :(

My friend has intact samoyed and he is a dream. I know Ted would behave as Terry described was he intact lol.

I don't believe any dogs should be left to roam unsupervised tbh. I chose to neuter Ted when I did due to a safer, happier, less stressful life for all of us due to our circusmtances. And so far, so good :) I do believe there are benefits to leaving them intact and if you don't have to do...

I think it's ok to go a bit off topic sometimes as long as it remains respectful. I like learning different perspectives and discussing them :)

Might try this with other kids :D

Training is key you are completely right. Unfortunately, I'd say the majority of pet dogs are not as well trained as those at Crufts. In an ideal world, it would be lovely if all dogs could be intact and 100% trained. This isn't the case though. If your dog is intact and you can manage them and...

No, but if an in season bitch is being walked and comes slap-bang into my dog's nose and he isn't neutered, I'd put my money on there being puppies. Ted was very well behaved and did nothing. Also, in potentially very busy places like a park, how do you know there's not going to be loads of...

I know this is a contradictory thing to say but I think unless you are a pro breeder, then I think pets should be neutered. Sadly, people just aren't careful enough. I can't remember if I posted this on this forum but just last week I was at the park on a rainy morning, hardly anyone around and...

So sorry to hear this

Done :)
