Nic.B Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Sorry, just a rant. I was just heading up to the shop and heard the better homes and gardens radio show. I am sure it was Dr Chris Brown who was recomending breeds for the best family dog. Number five was Pugs, Number four was labs or retrievers though only the goldens/yellows as chocolate and black labs have issues :rolleyes: I missed number three as I was opening the gate. Number two was....wait for it! Anything ending with oodle Missed number one as I was closing the gate and had the dogs in the car with me. I cant believe it! God knows how many people listened to his recomendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 I have no words. Well, actually there are a lot of words forming in my mind but if I say them here Troy will get mad and I don't want to get told off by Chuck Norris ahem Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVERI Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Number two was....wait for it! Anything ending with oodle great! lets just encourage puppy farming cross breeds & giving them a new name so people beleive there a breed and charge pedigree prices. i'd like to know the others. i guess the choc labs and black labs do have issues ITS A LITTLE HARDER TO FIND A NEW PUP cause there is alot more gold advertised. thats all!

bronsonb Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Number 3 was a mini schnauzer and number 1 - wait for it - is a Cavalier King Charles, but crossed with something... anything!!

aussielover Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Aside form the cross-breed promotion and colour bias What do people think of the other choices of purebred dogs? Personally I think in general they are quite good choices. I think Cavs, Pugs and Labs (and GRs) can make lovely family dogs. I don't really know much about mini schnauzers but they seem to have a lot of personality and of course are very cute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inevitablue Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 I rang up one of those radio shows once and asked him some questions. When I quizzed his answer they pulled the plug on me! I'd like to ring up again and ask how he can justify being against puppy farms yet recommend types of dogs where the majority are supplied from. Maybe we need to ask him these questions in the public arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really know much about mini schnauzers but they seem to have a lot of personality and of course are very cute. I didnt like the segment myself. Labs and GR's can be a handful (as with any breed) I have owned two who I adored but gosh they were more than your average bear for most puppy buying owners and did not settle down (well slightly) until 3 or 4 years of age. Dr Chriss also stated re ooddles that they were allergy free and therefor good for families, which also rubbed me the wrong way. Perhaps bronsonb can share a little more As I missed quite a bit of it. Edited November 5, 2011 by Nic.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGirl85 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Has anyone read the latest dogslife? it has two articles that promote DDs, one is an article on low allergy dogs where they briefly mention the purebred breeds that are suitable, then the remainder of the article was on Ooodles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Q Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 How infuriating. And it completley misses the point that EVERY FAMILY is different. A GR or Lab won't suit everyone the same as a Pug won't suit everyone. Getting a breed soley on "they are the best family dog" is a terrible idea. Hmm... unknowledegable family with multiple young children and not much spare time with a rambunctious young lab? Sonds like a recipe for success.... Anything ending with oodle? that really narrows it down to a good idea of what you'll be getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
