What does the future hold for Orey?

Kazz · 09-11-2007, 10:03 PM

Ratting may well be his thing Dawn either that or find someone who drag hunts

Sal is the same though adores the udges the other dogs the audience. Especialy the hot dog sellers. But hates standing Tess has never had a go as its not my thing really. But my two adore flyball.

Can I ask what flyball is? I know there is a clue in the name, is it just a game or is it something more?

Personally I think Oreys future is with me

Its running over a set of jumps, pushing the pad at the end and a tennis ball pops off! The dog has to catch the ball and bring it back over the jumps, as fast as he can!

Im sure if you had Orey, he would be back with me by return of post!! He isnt the easiest dog I have ever had, he's a fruit loop!

He is gorgeous. But cant comment on what you should do with him as I have never owned a dog. Cant he just be a pet or because of his breed does he has to do something?

Thanks Donna.

To do nothing isnt an option for a working terrier breed, they need to do something, people believing they make good pets only, is what has given Border welfare a huge task in rehoming young energetic dogs that dissappear down holes and chase everything that moves. They are a breed that gets into trouble.

A bit like a Stafford really

The major reason and age for rehoming is 10/12months- 3/4 years and the major reason too lively I think. (even if the people say other things). However I think you get used to the breed and what one person considers a nightmare a Stafford owner considers easy peasy..

...thats because Staffs drive you to insanity and beyond.

Thanks ladies!! So what dogs would you class as ideal just as a pet... just so I get the idea!! Or are all dogs designed to do somethng?

borderdawn · 10-11-2007, 07:57 PM

Good first pet IMO, a well bred Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Kazz · 10-11-2007, 09:25 PM

Yes I would say thats about right, although a few dogs were bred to be nothing more, nothing less than pets.
The Shihtzu, bichon frise to name a couple. but have to say a CKCS is just about the best option for a new starter but always from a good breeder as they are prone to heart and eye troubles.

Are you considering having a dog then?
