Hereford. Our local rescue are really helpful but mostly they get staffies not terriers. I'm not necessarily only looking for a border, just something with a similar wiry type coat.
 
I think we can safely say your not going to be single by the end of Jan cos your far too lovely

sooo saying that, do we know any good tripe recipes? for feeding to humans that is
 
When I was a kid all the butchers shops had tripe. Used to amaze me that people would eat it as I was used to seeing the whole green tripes mum used to feed the dogs!
 
I've seen it for sale in Morrisons too, never bought any tho, I just couldn't, *barfs* its one thing I just couldn't, noooo *shudders*

the closest I ever got to it was when I had an underweight foster and tried to find the 'green' tripe for her, I couldn't find any so that was that .. phew
 
I can't help on tripe recipes, but my great great grandfather was a tripe dresser. Here's a picture of him from around the 1890s. I am a vegetarian, so very happy the picture is not in all its glory!

What is the attraction of that sort of coat? Genuinely interested..

Maybe think of giving a Staffie a chance. My 3 are fab yard dogs, mix with the huge number of other dogs there and youngest one hacks out with us too..

Aah....just to put a spanner in the works.... Staffs don't moult, they have quite fine coats...!
 
I'm surprised that anyone was surprised by the title of the post - dont you all know that Cayla comes from Ooop North where eating tripe is usual? :p

If you are single by the end of January Cayla send him my way, he is worth his weight in gold :D:D:D

I'm slightly asthmatic so wiry as opposed to fluffy coats aggravate me less. they also moult less and are easier to manage. My first ever dog as a child had a wiry coat and so they have an sort of appeal to me too.

I dont personally have any objections to staffies but I did ask on here whether it would be a good idea to take one with my current dog and the general consensus seemed to think it wouldnt be a good idea (current dog is very friendly and gets on well with most dogs but can sometimes insist that every toy is hers and I was worried about the possibility of her getting into a scuffle, given that once she is involved in a fight she wont back down)

I was fed tripe on a regular basis, as a child (which probably explains why I spout so much! :D). Mother used to do it in a white sauce, with chalottes (sp). It was bleached white to start with, it wasn't green and it certainly didn't stink. It was lovely. My OH has flatly turned down the idea of tripe and onions, so I suppose that one of these days, I shall have to have a bash at it myself. ;)

All offal, is very good for us.

Puke, no it's not, never had it in my life!! My mother bangs on about it sometimes, but her grandparents used to slaughter their own farm animals, so maybe it's an older generation thing? *Runs before Alec sees this* :eek: :D

I think it is a generational thing - my parents are Yorkshire through and through and have never eaten it, but my dad says my grandmother used to eat it....and tongue....now I buy raw tongues for the dogs the idea makes me puke too :D
 
Very interesting and rare picture...my family were Tripe Dressers in the 19thc. do you know the name of this man or who he worked for?

I am from the proper Oop North! Teesside/North Yorkshire and no one has ever tried to feed me tripe! Tongue? All the flaming time! And cow pie? And liver and onions? Again all the flaming time! The things we ate that weren't identified it might have been tripe, but I doubt it!

Ha ha, quite the opposite, he asked me to marry him on Dec the 9th of last year (literally weeks ago) at midnight on the beach in Cuba :) lol.

And as for the little border terrier! we found the owner who seemed emotional to be reunited with the little dog and we chipped him for free to make sure he could be reunited directly to him if he ever got lost again, only for the self and same little dog to end up in the pound a few months later. We got a call as the pound traced the chip purchaser and informed us the owner would not be collecting the dog as could not afford the pound fees (charming) so we collected him and paid the fees and rehomed him via our rescue. (nowt as queer as folk) but good job we chipped him.
 
I never ate tripe but we visited Argyll in Scotland at the weekend and rented a beautiful log cabin with forest holidays and I actually ate some Haggis, so im sure that could count lol.

Whilst I'm not always the greatest fan of all 'Rescues', that was a thoroughly decent thing to do. I applaud you.
