downsouth 7,150 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Probably the 2 Ive got now.Knocking on 50 and aint been without at least 2 dogs since I was at school.Be nice to not have to get up an hour earlier every morning through the winter and walk them before going on site all day or be able to just come in and do f**k all after a days graft if Im shattered.Or be able to just up and f**k off for however long I fancy. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,459 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Dont know after the 2 i have now go i might have a break its a pain watching your back all the time worrying about where can you let them run , Then i think i might get back into Jack russells a nice wee terrier you could mooch about with and it would draw less attention than two big running dogs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Borr 5,748 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I quite fancy a bull mastiff or some easily maintained protection for the family, but not until the lurcher goes, currently got my mum's Russell here, as for last dog probably rescue a couple once the kids have grown....

forest of dean redneck 11,529 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 I thought about a whippet or a staff when I retire but tbh seeing prices of dogs and vets bills and having the freedom to just book a break and go when I like I think I won’t be getting another tbh . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Similar thinking to myself, mate, life sure is easier without a dog/dogs around. Maybe change my mind in a few years, but doubt it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never had so many holidays Lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 The Pat bitch I have of 7 will be the last for me .As said arranging cover for exercise never mind feeding is a pain when you go away .Wasn’t too bad when my old digging partner used to kennel them at any time .The old girl is now 14 and still ratting like a good un .Young un is full on and wants to kill everything . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mackem 26,158 Posted June 20, 2023 Report Share Posted June 20, 2023 Only ever had two dogs,both lurchers,both died of old age,if I settled in one place I might get another,but a dog is a huge commitment and owning one is restrictive. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It never crossed my mind dogs were a tie until I have more time on my hands to travel .That’s when it become a bind especially when nobody wants to exercise a dog aggressive terrier. Fine with each but old girl hell on legs with anything bigger that she sees as week .She’s fine working most the time ,ratting with other terriers as long as there’s rats about . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
