What breed to get?

How exciting! Are they the little red dogs that look like foxes... off to google...

No! They are little white dogs. Lovely looking, I hope you like brushing. :-)

……... NOT all dogs which are handed in, I accept but an alarming number are adult, they've received no training or discipline, they haven't a clue …….. etc etc

Not true Alec if the rescues go into a good foster home they will not have any issues once they are up for rehoming, all my dogs Ive fostered have ended up being first class citizens and have continued to be so in their new homes. Caylas dogs are the same and anyone adopting one of our dogs will have a dog to be proud of.

I wonder if you may have missed the point which I've emphasised above. Of course there are those dogs AND those rehoming centres too which are fit for purpose, but we only have to read on here of too many dogs which are 'rescued' and too many of those who would purport to re-home dogs, that my advice stands.

Anyway, it's all academic because the OP has, very wisely in my view, elected to start with a pup. :)

I'd love one of those. There's a red one I see driving home most days with his big Akita brother! Little and large!

Hey, just wanted to give you all an updated, we've decided on a breed. We're going to get a Japanese Spitz. We've met with a breeder at the weekend and are totally in love with these beautiful creatures.

How fabulous! They're fabulous looking little dogs, can be very vocal, think they're giants, typical spitz. Allegedly, mud doesn't stick to their coats :rolleyes3: which may possibly be true, thinking of my Keeshond, I can't remember him ever being muddy.

It'll take a while until we get it as there's a wait list but that's ok, that gives us plenty of time to prepare ourselves and the house for the puppy to arrive :)

woohooo! :)

I love wee spitzy dogs. I would probably have one myself when I'm too old and decrepit to scissor my poodles.

If you have a lurcher, any lurcher, which isn't a thief, then there's something very wrong! :) All those which I've had, and there have been many, have been opportunists, and for me that's part of not just their makeup, but the attraction.

I've had lurchers which if offered a crust of bread will act with complete disdain —— if however the bread is thrown out for the chickens, now that's an entirely different matter! :)
