    Im now so intrigued by the OP's secret choice of breed - I thought we were talking westies or terriers up to now

    Looking at our domestics, what breed do you think we're in for ?

    Fifty pence to the breed charity for each wrong guess !

    Aaaww - give us a clue :D.

    I can't think of a breed where you would get a pup from a reputable breeder for £350 - £400 - particularly a breed that only has one national breed rescue :think:. Can't you narrow it down for us - eg: Gundog/Terrier/Pastoral, etc. Pretty Please :D.

  • I'd say a Beagle would be perfect. But then again, I would, as they're my first love. They always look like babies. They're compact. They're so and sos for getting out through hedges. And Beagle ladies are - interesting.

    Would love to get one that was my own, and not one I had to look after because my mum became ill, thus leaving it entirely to 9 year old me to care for him, 5 cats, 1 rabbit, fish, a tortoise, slow worm, tadpoles and any other waif, stray and casualty that found its way into the garden. Obviously, I didn't know about cleaning, but I learned a lot about animal language, behaviour and communication.

    Now I'm a bit [ahem] older, I think I could handle the Beagle ladies, although they were quite pleasant in their own way to grotty little me looking after him in the park. Bit patronising, but OK once I could show them what I had taught him to do!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Narrow it down for us just a tiny bit would ya...?:D

    is is one of the breeds listed on the breed selector bar (down the right hand side of the bar) on dogsblog? http://www.dogsblog.com/

    I cannot think of anything that sells that cheaply from a decent breeder that is not in rescue loads!
