    JBDUB, so thats what the breed name is. I've found them of interest off and on in an ugly cute way. Have to read about them. I've only had sheppards and a Great Dane in my life.
    Dai, sorry about your loss, it is hard, know the feeling too well.

    Sadly we are down to three again as we had to have Rasputin, the cute little red guy, put to sleep on 25 August. Strangely, I just saw his twin brother on my kitchen patio half an hour ago which made me a little sad.

    He'd be a lap dog if you'd let him, Shiney!!

    We saw his father, and he weighed in at a light 245 lbs!!!

    We have fond memories of our silver grey minature poodle, Tony,

    [​IMG]

    We had him when our eldest was a toddler.
    Tony was as sharp as a tack. He'd play "hide and seek" with me and my son. At the time we lived in a big old house with cellars. He'd wait in the lounge with my wife until told he could go and then he'd search the house starting from the cellars and thoroughly check every room until he reached the top and if he hadn't found us, he'd go straight down and start again from the bottom.
    He would not go out into the garden in the morning for a wee, until he had had a coffee. He like many of that breed suffered with hip problems, he'd be tearing around with our son and occasionally dislocate a back leg. He'd hop over to me for me to put it back in. Then he'd be off again.

    Happy days!

    Prefer my koi these days. It's raining so I won't bother to go out and feed them, it's not a problem with fish.
