darbo 4,776 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I was in your position nearly 30 years ago. they gave in eventually. bought a shed and built a run and flagged it.made a raised bed inside and wired it that is my job electrician. if i kept a dog on our allotments it would be gone within the week. good luck. 3 Quote Link to post
OldhamLad 66 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 More importantly do you have land to work it on! 1 Quote Link to post
Jesslurcher 25 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I tried the old "aw look how cute it is" method, thought it was bulletproof but did it work? Aye right! Was kicked out for 2 months til the thing was old enough to be put outside lol 1 Quote Link to post
Richnew 38 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I remember my mum not letting me have a dog when I was young.. What I did was I went out got one and told her I found it in a local park piss wet throw shivering under a bush, she couldn't say no to that lol Quote Link to post
baldockbanks courser 598 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 More importantly do you have land to work it on! Not that important, I went 15 + years with out having any where I was aloud to work it! A technicallity that. Don't let that stop you. You need experience to gain permission/ keep it and to get experience you need to get out and do a bit first. 7 Quote Link to post
Wild-Bill 500 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Beddy/whipp x whipp/grey would be perfect. I saw a litter somewhere they looked spot on., 1 Quote Link to post
