New signing....

I've been under pressure to get a dog for 15-20 yrs now. Strongly resisted. Feel my resolve weakening.

Anyone recommend a non-shedding medium dog? One that will run. Must be non-shedding. My OCD would cope.

No lapdogs! No Yorkies or King Charles etc.

Andy mate, lot of fun and work outs with boxers. Breed not profession

If you're looking for a hypoallergenic breed - Irish water spaniels !

Depends what you & family want at the end of the day - quiet or boisterous but must admit I do spend 20 mins a day brushing my doggie & she has a shower 2/3 times a week 'cos I'm fussy, she's always in the sea & goes into work with me, she loves running with my Mum doing around 20 miles over a week, so yeah 20kg of Collie adorable fun really.

Three dogs in our home now -miniature 5kg, medium 20kg & a 50kg lazy French Bordeaux Mastiff stray who basically eats & sleeps & does nuffink else.
None of them bark much which is great for our neighbours & folks on beach.

My Uncles has Whippets, great with young kids, gentle, 10kg so small to medium build, great to jog with & loyal.

I told you not to ask!

I was convinced to “help out” at the local canine training center’s (centre’s, for you in the UK) Christmas party a few years ago (Jessie’s dad and a few other of her relatives also live and train there).

Sadly, there is photographic evidence. The dogs also look embarrassed.

Alternatively you could borrow Orgs’ suit and have themed nights with Mrs Belfast where you do it canine stylie 😆

[BelfastAndy]

Wonder would that change my luck. Arf.

Orgs, that's one of the funniest pics I've seen all year. Gonna be hard to beat.

I swear, the dogs do look embarrassed. Borders are incredibly smart but I don't think they have to be to figure out just how goofy they look in that pic!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially the dog on the left!
