What's your breed, and why?

As for cats, I don't think I mind too much, all pretty similar (in my opinion). I have Ragdolls at the minute but was brought up with a doll face Persian. Personality wise I'd say they were all quite similar and all beautiful!

I have a mini schnauzer, I wanted a smallish dog with a big personality and one on which coat shedding was minimal. He's as obstinate as hèll, hates posties, rowdy children and other dogs.

(prev had springer and labs).

I love weimaraners, I rescued an oldie about 10 years ago, he was an amazing dog, felt cheated when he passed away after just 3 years with us. I now have a 6 year old loony which we've had from a pup, he's the best. I've had other breeds over the years but just love the Weimaraner so much. We also have a cockapoo, she's a little character and the 2 get on well, I would definitely recommend them as a family dog.
As for cats, we have 2 moggies a tuxedo boy and a grey girl that looks like a British blue but they're both rescued Ferrals. My cats are getting on now, if I was to loose them I think I would just go for whatever my local rescue needed homes for but with dogs, has to be a Weimaraner or either cockapoo or cocker spaniel.

I have a JRT x with a whippet (we think)

Parents had JRT's when i was growing up and so i felt comfortable having one. Had him 8 years from pup and still everyday he has his cuddles and wants his play.

We have 2 British short hair male cats Gizmo 8 and Dave 10 months and Georgie 5 a black and white tabby who is a bit of a snowflake.

Wouldn't be without any of them.

Cats
Had a persian (he was a stray, crawled under a bush in my garden to die) he was the only pedigree cat all the rest have been moggies.

Growing up had dachshund's I love em they are stubborn funny and generally very terrier like which lead's to now
When I have rescued JRTS they are full energy stubborn difficult to train and funny.

Moggies.

I didn't choose to have cats.
My plonker of an ex-husband decided that I'd like a kitten as a surprise for Christmas (see what I mean by 'plonker'?).

This was despite me having been brought up with having dogs since I was 4 years old.

It came early, first week of December.
He put it down on the carpet and I said 'What's that and when is it going back to where it came from?'

Of course, I didn't mean it and within 4 months we had another 2 kittens.
42 years on, my old much-loved boy died 4 years ago and because of our circumstances we've not had another but we will do at some time in the future.

I realised some years ago that all the rescue dogs I'd had conformed to a particular type- short haired, tri coloured if possible and houndy shape. I have now found my wonder breed: Lakeland trailhounds. If you don't know them they are scent hounds and race over the Cumbrian fells- lovely natures and like being cuddle monsters.

Look here to read about the breed - dogs need new homes every year when their racing career ends :
The first story is about my dogs- Shyla & Shay and if you scroll down you can read about the original (and special) Katie hound. Shay has now passed his silver... Shyla not one bit interested!!

What a fab website, Katie. :T

Not heard of this breed before, they have a beagle-type face, I think.
