RiddingsRam Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Getting out first dog as a family next year I've had dogs previously but this will be our first as a family. We're after a springer spaniel bitch puppy hopefully of working breed instead of show. If anyone can point me in the right direction of a reputable breeder it would be much appreciated.

Sorry about that. I'm seeking a dog out at the moment, and the amount on offer with people giving up their family member for the pissiest of reasons has got me seething.

Comrade 86 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 A friend of mine has two lovely dogs whom I quite often walk with her. Both are ex street dogs from Taiwan housed by my mate who was there for years teaching English. One is a setter of some sort ( a mongrel, I think, not a cross) and was being used as a guard dog. In Taiwan, such dogs are most often never off their neck chains or ropes and have miserable lives as a result. My friend's chewed through his rope and bolted, only to be hit by a lorry. My friend found the dog on the side of the road and took him to a veterinary surgeon where it was decided that one of the dog's legs could not be saved. Post-op it soon became clear that the dog was severely depressed. He would not move or attempt to stand and only ate up periodically. He was basically wasting away. The introduction of a new friend, however, a large grey rabbit, brought about a sudden improvement in our three-legged friend and suddenly there was a chink of light ahead. Fast-forward a couple of years and said dog is now over here and complete with a very natty prosthetic for his remaining rear leg (it slightly lengthens the leg which apparently benefits a three-legged running motion!!!) he's living life to the full. He actually thinks he the nuts because, of course, everyone makes a fuss of him. He hurtles around our local at flat out pace, stopping to make a fuss of anyone he meets before off he hares again. When I watch him, I sometimes wonder what goes through his head. It looks joyous, whatever it is. Sometimes I think he just runs because he can. He's 8 now, so not a pup by any stretch, but you'd never know it just watching him. It's as if because he had to learn to run a second time, now that he has, he's never going to stop. He pretty encompasses most of what I love about dogs. They look for joy in others but can draw strength from themselves, they're grateful and loyal to a fault and they draw so much joy from even a most simple of lives. Shame us humans are not more like them, really. Anyway, the name of this dog is something unpronounceable in Cantonese dialect I believe, but my friend informs me it translates quite simply as, 'Plucky'. A more apt name for him you'd struggle to find. *I'll snap a pic of him next time I walk him and pop it up here when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 19 hours ago, 1of4 said: Cats, Dogs, both just shitting machines. Why does anyone want/ have one? Totally agree. Cats. The next door neighbours have 4 (four) who spend their lives crapping in my garden. They try and hide under shrubs, thinking I don't know they're there, until I give them a good whacking with a long cane (The cats, not the neighbours) Dogs. As reported earlier, there's one that barks incessently from every morning from about 6.30 for at least 2 hours, and at other times randomly during the day. Also, out walking yesterday, I was suddenly aware of something firmly attached to my trouser leg. Yes, one of those lovable doggie things with fangs. Fortunately it was on a lead, and the seedy bloke allegedly in charge of it pulled it back mumbling 'Sorry mate'. I think that's what he said cos he'd got a fag on. When I rule the world, I'll do what St. Patrick did for Ireland with snakes. You have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
