We got a second dog - a mad bstard Labradoodle - I wanted Stanley, but was overuled cos it's a girl. Its called Frankie - but not after Sibley! |
I'm getting ganged up on over here to get one of these Labradoodles - you now a fan?
Not sure I want anything with "oodle" in the name....
Would love a boxer + also think French bulldogs are bloody funny looking - no chance of either. |  | | |

Got a 6 year old Boxer called Kaiser - absolutely great dog, being a Boxer he's a total nutjob (a fact to with I'm sure 'Talli can attest to!)
Only downside as someone mentioned earlier is their longevity... 8 years is the average. |  | | |

Bulldogs are the best pets you can have.
Ugly, no.
Boxers tend to be a bit madder, and turn nasty quicker. |
Bulldogs are inbred genetic health wrecks. They overheat and can't breath or run properly. Good article about them here http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2012/01/is-it-time-to-dump-bulldog.html
Boxers are lovely, we've had 2 but as mentioned not very long lived and if you choose a pedigree expect large vet bills and an even shorter life span. A Boxer cross would be cheaper and less heartbreaking in the long run. Plenty of these puppies in rescues right now.
It's worth looking at American Bulldogs. They're fantastic pets, able to do everything, generally much healthier and live on average nearly twice as long as a Boxer. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Get yourself a Lurcher,anything with a greyhound cross,will keep you fit.Brilliant with people and kids,sleep a lot but active when you ask them to be,and the strength of mixed genes.My old dog Leo (greyhound and ridgeback cross)knocked up a pedigree Boxer once.Miss the old guy terribly - used to walk well over a thousand miles a year with him.  | |

if you want a real character dog go for an english bull terrier , great dogs not to fecked up by breeders , great temperment and bundles of character lost ours 2 years ago and still miss him like hell , his farts could clear a room in under a second as well which is always useful proper meaty farts you could cut with a knife , |  |

I am suprised no one on here has put up a picture of a female boxer with an ample chest. The smutty ones on here must be on a break. |  |

For anyone living in London flats I seriously recommend getting a puggle, best mate you can have and happy playing around indoors half the day then going mad during walks.
The only problem is they've all got a chewing fetish and will eat anything (apart from worming tablets) |  |

Be careful with Boxers, check the breeders as they can be overbred and have genetic disorders. |
What? The breeders or the boxers.
Or both!  |  |

Somebody else said earlier be very careful if you find one , massive inbreeding issues with many of the most popular breeds , bred purely for looks alone with no thought for the dog itself only the bastards breeding them , honestly go to dogs trust rescue a dog which needs a home , honestly the best thing you'll ever do , there's one in hare field and the staff are excellent there as well avoid batters ea dogs home unless you want to be interrogated for an hr then told to feck off by some 18 year old |
Have to interrupt my self-imposed exile im afraid.
Wombat, i strongly agree (and admire) your points here except the 'avoid Battersea' issue.
Yes, Battersea are thorough in there interview, but thats only because they are determined, that the dog wont be returned for rehoming (or worse) 3 months down the line.
I was volunteer security at Battersea Dogshome Windsor for 3 years (pretty much every weekend) until i moved to Denmark, and i couldnt believe the amount of times i was called upon.
Although many peoples hearts are in the right place , they dont understand that many of the dogs that need rehoming have had turbulent pasts and in many cases need special circumstances in their future. Throwing them out to anyone, just to get rid of them, is not whats best for the dog.
Sure, occasionally they may refuse a rehoming when it may have worked out fine, but in general, they get it spot on.
The dogs future is first and foremost in their thinking, and its incredible that people think, that by shouting and acting the heavy to 18 year old girls (who work for a pittance), they will get their way, when it is clear, that the dog is not right for them.
Im sure that the staff do not tell customers to 'feck off' as you say, but it wouldnt suprise me if they wanted to, to certain people from what ive experienced.
What i will re-iterate from others, is that anyone thinking of getting a dog, please consider rehoming and you will not regret it.

I think a crossbreed is a better option. I have re-homed a dog from Battersea and found them very good.
I currently have a pedigree dog Jack Russell, I re-homed him when the previous owners got bored (and he got less cute) and I am constantly at the vets, as he has genetic problems.

If you are going to buy a pup from a breeder or any dog seller for that matter, it's always worth checking out or asking to see the parent dogs. Ask questions about them and if you can, observe them and watch their behaviour and responses. This is very important particularly if you intend to buy a pedigree as genetic behaviour can be passed down to generations. Pups from a bad tempered parent dog should be avoided at all costs unless you are prepared to spend endless time and commitment on a strict training regime.
Personally I'd go for cross breeds or mongrels. Far less temperamental but need training and looking after all the same. I have a very loveable labrador /collie bitch. I'm lucky she has inherited the good traits of both breeds. | |

Dane sorry but disagree with your views on batters ea ESP Windsor , a few years ago I was looking to get a new hound after our English bull terrier had to be put down with kidney failure , I went to. Windsor and went round the kennels a couple of times I then come across a chocolate lab he seemed perfect 18 months old read his details about history etc and turns out he had hip displacea common in labs I'm affraid and had been there 6 months , i asked to see somebody about reforming the dog then was sat in a room the size of a cupboard and interviewedby a girl prob no more than 19 years old asked the usual home owner type of work etc etc I've owned dogs since I was a kid by the way , the girl then told me that sorry the lab wasn't for me , my answer why well it has displacea , I said I know and I'm happy to cover the large vet bills which would come with it, sorry sir was the reply we think is better being with us my reply why are you advertising him for reforming etc got nowhere so asked to speak to a Superviser finally got to see one after an hr or so went through my details cash flow etc etc and was told once again no sorry sir we don't think u can afford the vet bills at this point I told them to stuff it and went to dogs trust , sorry keeping a dog in. A 6x6 kennell for 6 months is cruel ESP when people want to rehome him actually bumped into a couple who had also asked and was told know .
Sorry battersea dogs home isn't the best place for a dog
Drove straight to dogs trust was interviewed passed fit to own a dog and got dela my yellow lab 2 weeks later while the choc lab is prob still stuck at battersea in his cell | |

had to say goodbye to my 11 year old boxer 3 days after christmas.
Still gutted today. Had 4 boxers plus countless pups as bred from the bitch years ago.
Wouldn't get a pup unless you are prepared for some major damage! Boxer rescue usually have pplenty available rehomers. For some strange reason brindles are more chilled out than reds or whites. Wouldn't have any other breed. | | | |

Understand your frustration Womb, and as a individual case, i cannot really comment. All i can add is that BDH have been rehoming dogs longer than anyone, so they must be doing something right.
My life is all about dogs. I currently have 4, 2 mixed beanz from rehoming and 2 Ridgebacks. My wife and I basically arrange our lives around them. (No kids). And after working there for 3 years, i know only too well the emotional tear and frustration to see these dogs waiting for homes in their kennels.
Wombat, your heart is clearly good, and i admire your stance on the situation (anyone that likes dogs is okeydokey in my book), but dissing BDH on a public forum and persuading joe public not to go isnt going to benefit the many, many dogs that are currently in their care.
At the end of the day, its the dogs that matter, not one persons bad experience being used to put off others that may give these dogs a chance in life.
P.S to all.
If you have a dog, please do the neccesary, and prevent yours from having puppies. There are too many homeless dogs in the world as it is.

Dane as u say sure they do a very good job as do many of the charities around the uk do I agree with there quality of care and standards required for rehoming NO might be personal agreed but think if you google you will find I'm not the only one who says the same. I dont agree that to dismiss certain people purely on the basis of a interview is right though as I said earlier I had more than enough cash to pay for any care the dog needed at the time and in its future . So as i said I went to dogs trust found over two years two lunatic labs so I'm happy unlike the numerous dogs in battersea care which I doubt feel the same.
Ps I actually blame joey Barton as its usually his fault for something or other these days | |
