LOL No biggies! Wouldn't fit in the car, for one thing ! . She was hoping to give a home to a rescue ,or some older dog no longer needed /wanted ... and she is very worried about syringiomyelia with the CKCS

I thought of them , but haven't suggested as yet .. they have a coat :) man made :p

She wants a dog who can be let free to run ..she has been to G A P adoption days , etc :)

:D They seem like useful dogs!

:) I have a post in rescue .. a coupleof good suggestions, but still looking - basically mature greyhound like temperament ..placid and happy to sleep inside while owner is at uni .... preferably something with some coat , and not brachy . good with little kids/dogs ( friend sometimes dog sits for her friends ) FEMALE unless an outstanding male match ;) must love snuggles & sleeping in a doublebed and/or couch ..and not be too energetic . must also enjoy beach and country walks . no fence jumping .. ADELAIDE inner suburbs .. normal fences on 2 sides ..buildings on other two :) Quite a lot of heavy traffic noise during day - dead quiet at night . (sounds very picky ) but no use chasing up prospectives & find they don't suit . Greys/bullbreeds/terriers need not apply ,sorry . friend lives alone .. uni/work from home . mature age person with lots of kid and dog friends, Raised last dog from puppy to 14 years . The right dog will be absolutely appreciated and loved a lot...have a yard just big enough to play fetch in ... and an old house with beanbags/beds etc ..a fire in winter, and a cool vine covered pergola thing in Summer . :) Oh, and have me as 'Auntie' ;)

Oh :) Then I know Linton/Scarsdale Winters well ... Brrrrrrr . :)

Oh .. is she OK ?

I have been/am helping a friend find a new dog . I am now very sad and despairing. yes, I have been perusing the ads/sites. Sooo many weird combinations , any old dog offered for stud duties , pups/dogs being sold as breeders touted as a certain way to make money ,and it seems way too many poor bull breeds being bred/sold/rehomed . I had no idea this was so wide spread ...and won't be doing any more looking .

Bullmastiff gets my vote ;)

Mimi ... :) and a fashion model to boot!

Oh ! Thankyou :) now I know what my Hamlet boy was !!!..He never stopped :p

This should be even better! seen ... for sale maltese x shiatsu Hmmmmmm.. ;)

Gus has such a wise old face ... and obviously enjoys revisiting puppyhood :p Love that photo amongst the colourful chaos :) :)

LOL @ Chili ... such a sweet old thing ... :)

tsk, Clover - that's not Elvis digging holes - it's Elvis doing physio to keep his front legs supple ! As for the Invader of personal space - YEP ! :D

;) With that much handsomeness I reckon he can do anything!! :)

*tiptoes out of thread*

oops yes sorry I just realised I made it sound like he passed away young, but I meant to refer to how our dogs are with us for a short time compared to our life span :) yep :) thank you.

Thanks, raineth ..we were together over 10 years ...

:block = ignore :)

Oh, yeah!! :)

"Mitchell" The boy who found his way into my car, and my soul all those years ago - who was equally at home on a the bed of a dying patient , or hunting foxes in the bush - who could carry tools etc for me , or bail up intruders ..who didn't really enjoy the company of kids, but who was patience itself with special needs kids . Just found this photo , taken back in the old days, when dogs could and did use playground equipment ;) he LOVED the slide ,,and the tunnel things :D he will always be the dog part of my soul .
