    Yes I am looking at rescue as well. I am looking for a labradoodle or goldendoodle so I keep my eye on labradoodle trust site as well as wood green which isnt far from me. they are not pedigree dogs.
    I just have to be careful where the kids are concerned.

    Oh yes - some rehomed dogs are not at all child friendly:eek: - but the re-homing places are usually pretty good on advising on the individual dog, and you don't have tots, which can make it a bit easier.

    Well done pammy! Good luck with your challenge! It's a total cliche but if you want something bad enough and your work hard you will achieve it! :)

    Best of luck!

    Well done Pammy, you're an absolute star :T.

    Are you off to see the torch this morning?
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
