what dog ? (1 Viewer)

[MitchandJenny]

Had our Cindy ( in the avatar left ) put down about 3 months ago due to a tumour on the liver and miss her badly... (but NOT the fur ).
We won't get another until our motor homing is over... A LONG time yet we hope !!

PS. Must change the avatar.

PSS. I wish was half the person my dog thought I was !!!

Without doubt you are all wrong. A pair of long haired German Shepherds is the ideal motorhome dogs!

I mean! What could go wrong lol

 

[Red Dragon]

White,Bright and as daft as his owners.

There are plenty of crossbreed dogs in a rescue centre, which not only make excellent companions but you are also giving a dog a life instead of paying £££'s to a breeder for a designer dog that, at the end of the day, is actually a mongrel.

Gets hard hat and waits for incoming......

Hi. I do agree with you to some extent. I got a cockapoo as the people on the pitch next to us had one and she was absolutely gorgeous and affectionate. I had zero experience of dogs as we always had cats so I didn't feel experienced enough to deal with a rescue dog with potential problems and no understanding of dog behaviour.
We have made lots of mistakes with Lucy and she is spoilt rotten, but lovely, my husband is retired but I have another 3 years to go, when I retire I will definitely look for a rescue dog because now I feel I understand dog behaviour much more.

Yep rescue dogs can be so rewarding, said once ours are gone wouldn't get anymore, but I'm sure we will. When my rescue Millie died we tried to get another dog from RSPCA and Dogs Trust, both said no because we lived in an apartment with no direct access to a garden, they were both apologetic about it, especially as any dogs then went to work and we also had a balcony. But nope, so I got Indi. A few years later when we got Boston didn't try the rescue places as in same position, but having had her 4 years with all her problems, brain damage and epilepsy feel a little better as I'm sure had we not taken the runt of the litter she would probably not still be alive.

No problems there at all. A rescue dog isn't for everyone anyway; Mrs Deluxe does rehoming for the local rescue place so you can imagine that we see all sorts - some with issues. A good rescue place will always be honest about the dog and do their best to understand the needs of the new owner, the last thing that anyone wants (dog, owner or rescue) is for a dog to return. Jake, our cocker, had been handed on three times and is a bit needy as a result.

Depends how big it is. A Korean chum says they always get one that'll last for Boxing Day too.

 

[glenn2926]

Have you considered a Bedlington Terrier? They are around 16 inches tall, weigh about 10 kilos and do not moult at all. How do I know? I have one, she is now six years old and we have just come back from six weeks in France with her. She is very happy in the van, in fact when we got home and were emptying the van she was crying to get back in. There is a Bedlington rescue.

 

[Robert Clark]

How about one of these ?

We have a Labrador that barely moults and a small Labradoodle that never moults, but needs clipping every few months. Both rescues

Another vote for the Staffie, this is mine at about four months in an Auto Sleeper Symbol. Great traveller and not a hair in sight.

Somebody said when I bought him"you don't own a Staffie, you wear one", they were right, totally faithful.

If you dont want it to moult get something with a poodle in it.

Except a Labradoodle.

My god can they moult.
Cant go anywhere in the house without seeing masses of white hair....even in winter.

 

[TravelsRus]

Border Terrier? Good travellers & sailors!!

 

[gailsunnymeed]

If you don't want moulting, you don't want a Lab. Our beloved Lab passed away almost 5 months ago, and we are still hovering up her hair!
You might want to consider a Labradoodle though, no moulting, and similar temperament!

You three are the luckiest doodle owners ever.
Take a look at the labradoodle trust website.

http://www.doodletrust.com

Doodles moult, some more than others but in the majority, they moult heavily.

Originally breed by an australian as an allergy free (non moulting) dog it didnt work.
Even the original breeder said he had produced a monster.

From the website.

• Doodles are an intelligent but challenging type of dog. They vary greatly in size and coat type and it is a common misconception that they do not shed their fur. Many of them DO moult and they are NOT an ideal breed for allergy sufferers.

Be careful not to spoil them ,

 

[DanielFord]

@pappajohn I bow to your knowledge
Since I was a little boy we have had Labradors, so when we got our first dog, obviously it was a Lab. When she sadly passed, we felt it was too painful to get another, so we changed breed, and got a Bernese. Chatting to my mother, she said "What do they moult like" and I answered, "they shed twice a year, and a little in between, but nothing like a Labrador".
She smiled and said "Nothing moults like a Labrador!"

I think we're more lucky having a Labrador that hardly moults. Very rare I believe!

My Dogs got no nose !

 

[big bertha]

My lovely girl in the avatar went to the bridge a week ago, I hardly have to hoover now but I would happily hoover if I could see that face every night. We now are left with an labrador/springer and a newish to us Border Terrier as our old Border also went to bridge in July.

Butter wouldnt melt.......like hell it wouldnt.

 

[busby]

For those with dogs that happily travel in your motorhome abroad and everywhere what type or breed would you recommend?
I would prefer a dog that doesn't moult to much and not to big. Likewise l don't want a little pooch either....what would you recommend?

Wire haired fox terrier...BUSBY.
