What's happened to real Dogs?

[woofmarkthedog]

I don't know I'm asking you ?

I mean "staffs" have taken over with their meathead owners treating them like accessories, sure there are other fancy minature breeds but where are the mongrels these days the proper dogs? who still has a "Heinz" anymore

Maybe they've all been taken down the real pub by the real men , looking for some real women.

The poor dogs are not to blame, I know ,that for years now these mad dogs they have now been dosed up on anabolic steriods, to make them big muscled and aggressive,this includes rotts and pit bulls,. The goverment have let us all down on the dangerous dog act. No child is safe in the presence of these kind of drug abused animals.So I agree with you Wolf.

Respect to this thread! We had the best dog when I was a kid, christ knows what he was, but he was the best!

Last Sunday at Footscray Meadows, on the edge of London, I saw a Tibetan Terrier, Labradoodle,, couple of Yorkies, lovely Rottweiller, 15 Westies (various owners), couple of Cairns, couple of Kerry Blue Terriers, Fox Terriers, Welsh Terriers, a Border Terrier and Border Collie, various Cross-Breeds and 15 other breeds that I can't think of at the moment.

Few Staffs, even less Pit-Bulls but we all know its down to The Owners in 99% of the cases if a Dog turns nasty.

Can't remember the last time I saw a Pit-Bull and yet every second owner seems to have them on the mean streets of Hinner(sic) London...thats Hinner as opposed to Houter ...:)

Less mongrels around nowadays due to efficient neutering. Shame cos they make the best dogs.

I was staying with friends in Crete last month, now the mongrel rules supreme there, generally a mix of god knows what though a strong Husky line running through them, matted dusty coat deriggour. Handsome looking, proper rangey mongrels with a slight mad/mean look to them. I would love to bring one back but with so many in need of homes here it seems unfair to do it.

I have been onto the Battersea dogs home web site, (to many staffs there for sure )any recommendations else where for a "Rex or Laddy or even a Rover"

I thought this was a thread in response to the real women thread I saw somewhere.

Walked into a pub the other day and someone said a comment about a real dog walking in, looked behind me, no dog, realised he was talking about me!

When I was a kid growing up we had a great dog. Fabulous guard dog, very loyal and loving, and my best friend.

It was a poodle!

Greyhounds. Breed is thousands of years old. They have a rough time, re-home one if you can - they make fantastic pets.

[PeckhamRose]

Ahh indeed.

And what are the only two breeds of dogs mentioned in the Bible?

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Greyhounds are certainly one of them.

Wolfie: "Retired Greyhound Trust"---they do make great pets.

And Pharoah spake: if ye Hebrew slave do not work, whip it.

I have had a number of GH's as pets and they are amazing, I used to live right on the beach in Sussex & watching a pair of GH's at full pelt running circles in & out the sea at low tide is a sight to behold.

Sadly we don't have the space for a large hound like this........but a whippet, now there's a thought.
