What kind of dogs do horsey people have???

I have a Cocker Spaniel ("show type"), a Standard Poodle and 2 Newfoundlands :)
So not stereotypical "horsey" type dogs lol :p (That said, the Newfies are big enough to double up as pretend Shetlands lol) :D
 
agree mainly terriers

we have two pointers :)

a few people i know have lurchers which i always think aren't really 'yard' dogs but they are lovely and seem to love it too!
 
I have two Border collies. At the yard (between the owner and the liveries) there are two JRTs, a German Shepherd, a Lab, various collie/sheepdog types, a Lakeland x Paterdale, two Beagle x Springer spaniels and a couple of collie x Labs. Oh there's also a lady just moved on with a Weimaraner (who is gorgeous in my opinion) but she doesn't bring him up much.

How many dogs can you fit in a Micra?! The red merle is mine (the other two both share the same father as my other collie)- they just jumped in! Obviously wanted to come home with me that day. ;)

I have 3 JRTs, mum and two sons. You would think they would be good at keeping the vermin population down but although they are enthusiastic about ratting they rarely catch anything, we were grooming this morning and the dogs were on the hunt for something in the tack room when out ran a mouse and hid firstly under the mounting block and then ran and hid between one of the horses back feet before running off into a hole! The dogs hadn't even noticed their prey had made a sharp exit and proceeded to run round the tack room searching for it for the next half an hour!
 
We have managed to acquire a lab and a mastiff X plus seem to end up babysitting my daughter's mini-dachsie far too often!
 
2 cairns, expert rat/rabbit catchers, but the boy has never learnt that he cant take on hedgehogs and come away unscathed!
Should hasten to add that I dont encourage rabbit or hedgehog catching, but sometimes you just cant prevent it in time.
 
i have a GSDx who thinks he is a horse! always wants to play with my friends mini-shetland, but have to stop him before he gets kicked. a lot of people have spaniels i find, and labs.
 
Three of these:

They rarely come to the yard because there is a malamute x GSD who isn't keen on other dogs and the one on the right is very dog aggressive, plus they like to run with the stallion!! :eek3:

Other liveries have a springer, a beagle x, a cavalier and GSDs.

We have 2 Border collies :) our black & white is great with the horses,the Merle likes to play/herd a little to much!! Trying to sneak a JRT into the family but OH is not so keen.
 
Every yard seems to have a jack russell.

I have a German Shepherd and a Jack Russell x Cocker Spaniel.
For about 6 months of the year (my mum travels a lot!) I also have a Samyoed and a collie x retriever
