Yeah get a crate Balders and have him your bedroom with you... I didn't the first night we got ours and he was a quivering wreck teh next morning... only had to be in the crate for 5 or 6 nights and then they should be fine... massively hard work for the first month (harder than our daughter when she was a baby) but get through that you'll be fine... the longer you can stay out with a puppy in the garden praising & giving treats when it shits and pisses out there the sooner it will learn... took about 5 or 6 days and was fully house trained... lots of toys and old slippers etc... and when ready a good 40-60 mins off lead walk/run/swim... boredom is what makes a dog destructive ... we have never had a toothmark on any of our furniture/shoes etc in teh 7 years since we got him. Have fun fella

It's ok, Capitol, I can live with it.
Could! COULD live with it...
(Seriously, the dog was amazing. They also had an alsation cadaver dog who 'alerted' in the same place to confirm afterwards)

Is the Patterdale registered? Aggressive rascals, there's one that gets in the pub occasionally, keep my lab well away!

I've got a German Shorthaired Pointer love him to bits. His big for his breed around seven and a half stone and almost no fat.
A great looking dog and bred to hunt.lovely temprement. Brilliant around people but make no mistake they are relentless and can't be worn out.i reckon I walk easly twenty miles a week
.There are times especially on dark winter mornings when my alarm goes off at 5.30. In the morning when I could do without walking him but the summer months more than make up for it.my eldest helps out he is strong onough mow.
Owning a dog is a big commitment and not to be underestimated but well worth the ag.

Then of course it would never be truly fulfilled unless you keep a cadaver in the house.
If you have one already the barking becomes incessant.
Or, er, so I understand.

Don't get a soppy girly one.
Don't get a psycho mauls kiddies for breakfast type.
Get one with character.

Think we are going to find more and more dogs on the streets with the security/military forces...those hounds can smell out a particle of explosives from yards away.... in Afghanistan the Taliban always tried to kill the dogs first before taking out a patrol... heroes the bloody lot of them

I know it's not a breed, you daft sod. But it's a USEFUL dog with an impressive skill as opposed to one that enjoys eating the faces of toddlers. And I wasn't being entirely serious.

A cadaver dog isn't a breed nurse, for your guide. I assume you mean bloodhound?

Get a cadaver dog. Just watched a rubbish documentary about the Manson murders and Buster the cadaver dog was the only highlight. He works his arse off all day, wagging his tail all the time, all for the reward of 5 minutes with his favourite squeeky toy. So yeah, he's a bit of a gimp, but he's got mad skills.

I would think you'd get a more honest appraisal of a dogs temperament from a rescue than someone trying to flog one. They want to make sure the dog goes to the right home not just any old home.

No, definately take on a rescue. Sure, you don't know the god but he kennel will always advise you, ie; this dog is no good with other dogs or this dog shouldn't be around young children etc. They will tell you, the shelters know their dogs.
They could all have a home in the right hands

Fuck a rescue dog. They're like refugees. You don't know what you're getting.
