I've seen a lad who has a collie x pat and it has been a great dog that did everything for him and its a shame it never successfully lined a greyhound.
Mine get on fine together too but giving them bones etc right next to each other is just asking for it to kick off isn't it and once they start they might be at it forever.
I had a couple years ago, better off with a big tarantula if you want something to sit there and do nowt.
There is some nice colours available in the ceratophrys types though, I think its the fantasy ones which are a cross?
For a proper legit captive bred and rung goldie I'd say your looking at 50 - 60 quid upwards. Peas and chevs are obviously dearer but I've seen travelling lads wanting hundreds for a bird because of its song, could be a mp3 player wrapped up in a pillowcase though ?
Makes me laugh all these dirty old farts going over there with a missus at home thinking he's just gone a lads drinking holiday and a bit of siam carp fishing and the other sad bellends sending money over to their "girlfriend " who will have had another cock in her mouth before he boarded the flight.
I wouldn't say there is any cons? Most raza you see though are mongrelly irish crosses, proper raza are tiny things. I prefer the smaller type canaries myself, always active and agile.
Lots of lads say take it out but I would leave it in in the aviary, my goldie goes straight back down in the same nest. Takes a lot of work building that nest.
I've heard dirty old men from round here who go regular to Thailand comment on how good the bjs are, blokes know what a bloke likes so that's why they're so good at it ??
