TOMO 24,874 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I always liked basenji's,, honestly don't know why, also Manchester terriers, and I like the look of plummers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 I love dogs and would keep them regardless of whether I worked them or not, so I'd own most dogs really if we're talking about non workers. As long as they are bright, fit and healthy and could chase a ball etc lol. Can't see what enjoyment people get from keeping British Bulldogs etc. I hope one day to have a proper working bred German Shepard and to compete in schutzhund with it, Also have a soft spot for working Cocker Spaniels. so maybe a Cocker too lol.

old school 476 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 i always fancied an Alaunte, from what i've seen on here they seem a very versatile sort of animal!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RubyTex 1,957 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Springers, cockers, labs, patterdales, jack russells, I had a GSD ages ago but donated her to the filth when my mum broke her back and needed our full attention, i'd have another! I ike the idea of a whippet/lurcher but bar a few bunnies i'd have no work for it. I'd also love a british bulldog but they're so unhealthy i'd feel like a cruel cnut.

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 If we are talking about chancing a non working breed I think if reared right a standard schnauzer could have potential for bushing abd ratting... They were the original schnauzer and used as a general watchdog and ratter about the farm and as they are not as popular as the miniature they havent been f****d with as much by the show fraternity Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 More Labradors and I'd love to have a Springer one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,637 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I think my heart will always be with lurchers. I quite enjoy having a terrier about, very usefull but I'm not a great lover of them. In the future I want a spaniel or a lab and quite fancy a GWP if I could justify it work wise. The only dog I would own without work would be a Shepherd of some sort. But then I would still expect it to look after the place and stand by me as any good Shepherd should.

I want to get a dutch shepherd one day also a Doberman if i could find some good uns. Id also like to get a pure saluki one day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Born Hunter 17,637 Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 A reasonably well trained one is a great dog to have. I could certainly put a fair bit of work in front of one. I'll probably have either a spaniel or a lab in the next 5 years. For the time being though, this terrier sees me alright. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
