    Are puppy classes really a must?

    I've just came back from our first puppy class with my American Bulldog pup. It wasn't a good experience. He was attacked,though thankfully not bitten,as soon as he went in the door,by a large dog, that really shook him up. A number of other smaller dogs also went for him. I have sensory...

    New addition.

    I lost my much adored 17 year old Tibetan Spaniel 5 weeks ago. We've been wanting to get another dog since then as she brought us so much joy and the house is far too quiet and dull without her. I was going to purchase a pup but as has always happened to us a dog has found us. We never need...

    Help me find a small breed dog.

    My much loved 17 year old Tibetan Spaniel died recently and we're now thinking of getting another dog. Another Tibbie is a possibility as they're such a wonderful breed but I am considering other small and toy breeds. It has to be a small or toy dog, under 30lbs ideally. I'd like it to be...

    How to know when it's time?

    My 16 year old Tibetan spaniel has been taking what appear to be seizures, over the past few days. When she has them she hunches her back and walks sideways, and makes the most awful incredibly loud guttural noise. We took her to the emergency vet yesterday and he said it sounds as though...

    Breeds by Country

    I thought this could possibly be an interesting thread. Which country(countries) do you think produces the best dog breeds, not just one breed that you favour, but which has consistantly produced one great breed after another. I'd have to say Germany imho, they have so many wondeful...

    Weimaraners

    Has anyone had any experience with this breed? I think they are incredibly beautiful and I've loved every example of the breed that I've been lucky enough to meet. I tend to favour German breeds,so many wonderful breeds originated in that country, and I'm leaning towards a giant schnauzer...
