Dougal, WestieX JRT. Shipped him back to live in NI as we couldn't trust him here (too many kids nearby) and he wasn't coping with the lifestyle/routine. Get to see the sod when we go back at summer/xmas. eta- No idea how old! He warps time/your mind :rolleyes: 5? 6?

I have 2 Dobes both rescue brother & sister 2yrs 6months Diesel & Darcy.

My daughters boyfriend wants a lancashire Heeler which would end up living here, failing that a Black/Tan JacK Russel.

My daughter wants to rescue a street persons Dobe he is an alcoholic she said he would probabley accept a bottle of vodka:)she cant do that though because she works in a drug/alcohol hostel and it would be unethical.:eek:

Lexie thats a nice pile of logs you have there Im impressed they are still standing.
 
Far, far to many! LOL

I have three, Border Collie, 11, GSD 4, and a Labrador 3. The only one I bought was the GSD - the other two are rescues.
Then, my late boss died so inherited his elderly Lab who os now 15 or 16, in need of a hearing aid and bifocals but still active and happy. His (very poor example) of a Border Terrier, now 12. His daughter has three JR's two are 12 and a 'new' rescue just over a year, then the girl that works here brings her four terriers - a JR, a Border Terrier/Patterdale a Border Terrier and an elderly terrier.
We also have another elderly JR who comes and goes as his owners are abroad a lot. More with us than them.
On top of this we are having two couple of Fox Hound pups arriving for walking.

So, at the moment we have twelve here on a daily basis, thirteen with old Circus and up to seventeen when the pups arrive.

To-day there were some people here with two Labs and a friend called in with her Peke and Chihuahua so I was feeding 17 dogs. All raw fed, all sit and wait until I call their name and then they come forward to collect - never in the same order! No fights, no stealing from one another, all perfectly happy.

Cesar Milan eat your heart out!

I have some pictures but cannot find the lead to upload from my camera when I do I will post them.
 
3 :)

I have Will who is 15yr old lab rescued through here.

I have Teal lab x springer (wills son) rescued through here, the soppiest dog I have ever met.

I have Dylan Rottie x St Bernard puppy 9 months old. Cant wait to get his bits off at the moment, hes just a bit tooo full of it, and hes now started leakage (puke smily here). Tahazemoose Sp? how is your rottie, is testing boundrys(dylan has started jumping up but gets down soon as told, from day 1 he wasnt allowed to jump up)? A bit full on(in your face kind of thing, has toy, shoves in your face)? Very bouncy? But at the same time being very trainable?????? Please say yes :D

We have 3 Rhodesian ridgebacks! When they get up & move the furniture definitely moves with them ;)
I hope I am never without a ridgeback in my life !
 
Two. An eight-year-old Boston terrier, and a seven-year-old pug. I'd love a third but with a baby on the way/living in a congested city, it really isn't feasible.
 
Just have the 1. Lab x retriever x whippet and she's 15.
Most I've had was 3. Lab, great dane and the above. I do really miss not having them all now especially the dane, never met a dog that could make me laugh as much as she did :D
 
I just have one. I'll get another when I have more land but atm I'm renting and have a quarter acre section which means I have to dedicate a lot of time specifically to keeping my dog exercised and since the breed of dog I want next has an even higher exercise requirement, it's not fair to get one yet.
 
Two.

Daisy - collie/springer/jrt cross - 2 yrs 2 months:

Both rescues - we've had both since they were pups (Fred 10 wks and Daisy 8 wks).

They are very high-energy, busy dogs but we wouldn't be without either of them.

Millie a JRT (although she's absolutely tiny) 15 months old, cute, adorable, but a little bugger when she wants to be! had her since she was 7 weeks old:

Got to ask what this is like to live with, having known a ridgie and a staffie that were both bonkers can't imagine what possesed someone to cross them!!!!

I have no idea either :D- and its not confirmed, could be boxer/lab.... not that that helps. At home he is actually pretty calm.... just have to make sure he gets well exercised.... but like any young dog he likes to play and chase balls etc.... also happy to snooze..... and fairly trainable.... he's a good lad really
 
I have 8 - and yes I am nuts!!:D 4 Ridgebacks between the ages of 4 and 10, Ridgie pile up:

One ancient Lab x rottie - we rescued him along with 3 of his brothers when they were 5 weeks old, the other 3 have all died now and we just have Murphy left, who is 14yrs old, and I think this will be his last summer as he is getting really wobbly!:(
This is Murphy 2yrs ago in the snow:

2 JRT - one was inherited when my Grandpa died she is 14 and going blind and deaf, the other is 6 months old and is such a sweet little dog - she patrols the house at night now, and the other dog, Ted, is a completely brainless 2yr old dogue de bordeaux x bullmastiff x malamute x GSD!! - he is supposed to take over from Murphy as an outdoor guard dog, as the ridgies are in in winter, but he woofs and runs away!!!:D
