I paid £1 for my (pedigree) critter, I cannot support breeders and designer dogs while there is such a backlog and its going to get worse post covid. They charities can’t do home checks mate due to covid restrictions. Maybe that just up here but suspect it may be uk wide? I had found a perfect dog but sadly because of covid we couldn’t get it. Looking like it’s going to be 3/4 months before I will get the opportunity sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I didn't know that, I'll phone the lady at the kennel in the morning to clarify. Looks like I could end up with a garden full of mutts if this is true as I am approved as a fosterer... can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep I submitted an application which was accepted and then is on hold due to not being able to do home checks. Like I say may be up here only. but the charity I looked amongst a few others at havent had any new dogs in for 6 weeks now which tells me they aren’t taking dogs form council pounds and we know what that means sadly 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter only1swanny Posted January 16, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2021 Brophy the labradoodle x wolfhound.. massive dog and soft as shit, You have to walk him on a short lead and keep him next to you it behind you NEVER infront, that's pack leader position and he pulls like crazy. I keep him roadside, not the best way but he wants to sniff everywhere and cock his leg.. if he runs out if pee, he'll try to shit everywhere. Nearly every dog kicks off with him, hes scary as fook when he defends himself and at 40kg+ the other dogs owner are normally screaming, despite their dog starting it. Ted the cockerpoo is nuts,great on the lead.. only been off a few times unlike brophy who due to the aforementioned issue is lead only. Dads a champion working stock poodle, mums a champion working stock cocker. Very clever and full of beans but loves to lie on people and get attention. Both very crate trained but the crates never closed now aside from if someones coming in the house that's scared of dogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a woman screaming at me once that he would killer her chihuahua, said to her, "keep it on a lead then". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wolf dog we walk with is exceptional , probably more intelligent than 40% of the people i have ever met He reads every situation and micro reads everyone he meets , opens doors , fridges etc but if he hasnt been allowed to greet you he will wait for hours until he sees that one chance to get to you , with a head like a lion he is scary as fuck that said it is a privilege to know Luther and spend time with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crawshawbooth Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Luther the wolf dog is an extraordinary animal when you meet him his whole focus is to get at you, obviously thro training and family that dosent happen if you have a new pup never let anybody greet them when they come to your house as it just pushes them up the pecking order dogs are bottom of the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimron Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Mine gets up whenever I make a move... I just went for a piss and he was waiting for me. Flattering, annoying and worrying all at the same time, but we're best of pals, he's coming to work with me tomorrow for the ride out (We'll be back for Tranmere) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolton_blondie Posted January 22, 2021 Members Share Posted January 22, 2021 Mines going through a stage of barking his fucking head off every night a few hours into me going to bed. He best stop it soon or he's off to Bleakholt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
