Just for fun - choose a dog!

[some show]

I sometimes look at rescue pages and think about which dog(s) I would love to give a home if I had the money/time/correct lifestyle to add another dog to the one I already have. And it made me think about this forum and how interesting it would be to see gut reactions, and breed preferences!

There are 70 dogs at Dog's Trust Cardiff branch at the moment - you must take one of them (but only one ) home! Which one do you choose - purely superficially! Try to make a quick decision by just going on the bare minimum (breed/age/male/female) rather than looking at the full details (because most of them have behavioural/medical/must-be-only-pet issues which might make them impossible for you in 'real life'. But if you want to deep-dive into that stuff, go for it!). Obviously there isn't every breed imaginable but there's a fair old mixture.

Just to add...I'm not making light of the plight of the rescue dog (I have one and wish I could have more), this is just something light-hearted for a Friday evening.

[Moobli]

Tiny Tim for me because sable GSD , nothing more to be said .
(I also like Theo (also sable GSD) and Badger the border collie ).

 

[Escapade]

Sadie all day long

 

[Horseysheepy]

Cookie and Maverick win for me!

 

[islander]

Remy the Welsh Terrier, l have known some lovely ones and reminds me of my old Airedale.

 

[Equi]

Mars looks like my kinda dog (ie invisible ) might make pooper scooping a challenge though.

 

[Widgeon]

Beans, by a country mile....scruffy hairy terrier Doesn't matter that he's going blind, he's young and our current terrier goes everywhere with us anyway. I shouldn't have looked, I'm going to be thinking about him for the next week now. But we're multiple hours from Cardiff and I guess that's good

 

[Unicorn]

Bacon for me!

 

[skinnydipper]

This isn't fair. I try to avoid rescue sites.

and one, ONE? You've got to be kidding.

I've just picked 6 terriers and Freya the lurcher.

 

[AmyMay]

Gilbert (because Beans is taken by @Widgeon )

 

[Archangel]

Oh no, I work in Cardiff once a month. I really don't need tempting.

Only 3 of the dogs can live with cats so it would have to be the lovely Daisy, the French Bulldog.

Tiny Tim for me because sable GSD , nothing more to be said .

Those sable GSD's are beautiful! And Badger's one ear up, one ear down

Sadie all day long

Probably my choice too! Or Anton!

Cookie and Maverick win for me!

Maverick's so handsome, love his face. Love a mongrel! Cookie looks proper naughty patterdale!

Remy the Welsh Terrier, l have known some lovely ones and reminds me of my old Airedale.

Remy caught my eye too, he looks fab.

Mars looks like my kinda dog (ie invisible ) might make pooper scooping a challenge though.

Sorry for bringing him into your mind He's really a beauty, isn't he.

Bacon for me!

Another handsome GSD!

This isn't fair. I try to avoid rescue sites.

and one, ONE? You've got to be kidding.

I've just picked 6 terriers and Freya the lurcher.

I know, I avoid them generally too (or mostly just stick to the greyhound ones to torment myself) - go on then, you can have all seven

Gilbert (because Beans is taken by @Widgeon )

I love him, looking so proud!

 

[Clodagh]

Rex, because I love EBT’s and Olive, because she looks so worried and I have buried own a collie urges.

 

[Smitty]

I would like Posy please

 

[Jenko109]

Freya the lurcher.

That sweet, kind face really pulls at the heart strings.

 

[Escapade]

Probably my choice too! Or Anton!

If I were to open my heart to the boys I think it would be a toss-up between Anton and Daffy, I fear Daffy may win out simply for ease of cleaning But Jude would mean a matching pair...

 

[Mrs. Jingle]

Cookie definitely - I will fight for that ugly little one! Or perhaps Charles if I don't win the fight for Cookie, I could love that ugly little face too.

 

[Kunoichi73]

Too. Many. Choices!

In order of preference:
Derby
Tiny Tim
Fizzy
Bacon
Theo
Dora

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Champ and Marley.

 

[Jenko109]

In contrast to all the sweet, honest looking sight hounds on there, my lurcher snuck a share size milky bar out of the draw in my bedroom this morning and ate a good two thirds before I caught her in the act.

 

[some show]

Rex, because I love EBT’s and Olive, because she looks so worried and I have buried own a collie urges.

I love EBT's too - what a super face he's got. And Olive is so pretty!

I would like Posy please

She's right up my alley too

Freya the lurcher.

That sweet, kind face really pulls at the heart strings.

Isn't she beautiful, such a nice face.

If I were to open my heart to the boys I think it would be a toss-up between Anton and Daffy, I fear Daffy may win out simply for ease of cleaning But Jude would mean a matching pair...

Ah do you only have girls as a rule? I missed Daffy the first time around, he's lovely too - I love the black hounds!

 

[FestiveG]

Nutella, because she would make a good pair with our brown bitch.

 

[Pearlsacarolsinger]

It has to be Nutella, she is almost the twin of our brown youngster. I'm not sure whether its a good job we are a very long way from Cardiff, or a shame that we haven't got a space.

 

[Titchy Reindeer]

Champ and Marley.

I liked the look of those 2, but I think it would have to be Olive for me. She's got such a sweet face.

 

[Escapade]

Ah do you only have girls as a rule? I missed Daffy the first time around, he's lovely too - I love the black hounds!

Not intentionally, just the ones I'm first drawn to always seem to be girls A bit the same with horses, though I did have one gelding after a number of mares.

Love to see appreciation for the black hounds

 

[BallyRoanBaubles]

Enola she looks like great fun

 

[JBM]

Tiny Tim, Dora or theo
Who could pick just one

 

[splashgirl45]

Posie or Olive , neither would be any good to me as they can’t be homed with other pets

 

[planete]

Fizzy for me. We can be old together.

 

[only_me]

Olive or Dora for me!
