What are Ridgebacks like for temperament?
Very much a family orentated dog,loves being part of the family.When they get to about 18 months of age they change from being daft puppy to becoming quite "aloof" with strangers.But once the stranger has been introduced as a friend,he is welcomed with open arms(or should that be paws :P)There not a gaurd dog like a doberman,german shepherd ect.More a non-confrontational guardian,who will only use agression as a last resort.
A good example of this was when my wife was out with him and a jogger came running towards her.Rogue(the dog)who was off the lead at the time came running back and stood directly in front of my wife and never took his eyes of the runner until he was out of sight,at which point carried on as nothing had happend.

 

Was once walking a Ridgeback for my mum's friend in a large park in Leeds , a group of lads came walking past and on purpose one shoulder barged me. Now I'm not a small bloke but I'm no trouble maker either so just tutted and gave him a mucky look then walked off , the guy went for me and the dog (afrika) went mental I'm glad she was on the leash .

They're very protective of their companions.lol , the guy must've sh@ himself 😆

Spanish Water Dog Marley, runs full dreadlocks if not clipped, lot of fun.[img] ?t=1265322418[/img]

I've looked at all the dogs and decided mine is the best.

[img] [/img]

and she agrees too

[img] [/img]

cheers lads, I had an Irish Water Spaniel for years, great dog.

Was hoping that's what you'd say about the ridgeback

posted before but hey ho:

[img] [/img]

& not wanting halloween to come round anytime soon:

[img] [/img]

1. Border Collie when I was a kid, brilliant dog. Now got Jim an ex racer
[img] [/img]
[img] [/img]
2. Loadsa greyhounds
3/ Maybe 1 more Greyhound.
(hope i got the questions in the right order)

dad was bit poodle bit bearded collie bit springer

Had a bearded collie/springer in the surgery the other day, was apparently beardy + springer mental. Does the poodle in it calm it down a bit?

here's my charlie boy

[IMG] [/IMG]

he's the 2nd rough collie i've had, and they are superb dogs. smart, athletic, kind and rather handsome. like a border collie, but less mental (i've had border collies in the past and think they're great dogs, but they're slightly crazy).

1 Dogs I have owned: longdog and dobermann (both rescue)
2 Dogs I would like to own: any rescue, but I would like a Wolfhound or a Weimaraner
3 Dogs if space/money were no object: hundreds of rescue dogs (and rescue donkeys and rescue ducks)

1. Boxers
2. Would like a Bernese mountain dog but couldn't be arsed with the grooming tbh.
3. We're getting a Bobtail Boxer next (although I've always had a soft spot for Rotties)

Forgot the dogs owned bit, short list mind.

Border Collie
Border Terriers
Labradors

We got out first Border T when they were still very much a dog only in this area and not really heard of, now there's millions of them.

(1) husky
(2) husky
(3) husky

Meet Zeus and Sierra - Sierra sadly left us to go to husky heaven a few months ago 🙁

1. Never been lucky enough to own a dog.

2. Would love a Lurcher:

3. But might possibly end up with one of these:
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Lancashire heeler.
Fella who lives near me has a pup, see him occaisionally when out on the bike - I'd never heard of them before, but he's a bit of an evangelist.

[img] [/img]
beagles
bloody beagles
****ing beagles
this dog is the bane of my life but i/we love her to bits.

dougal - she ( fudge ) is 2 yrs old now and has just about stopped being a puppy. she`s got quite a mild temperament .although she is always ready to play and has to have at least one scatty fit a day , which normally entails 3/4 high speed laps of the dinning room table.i think either the lab or the poodle bit helped.

At present:
1x old yellow lab.
1x Tri colour Cardigan Corgi X-ed with a Collie.

Both rescue.

What I want next: whatever dog I next collect from the RSPCA - it just won't be a small, yappy thing.

Westie

Irish Terrier

Pics of my IT Muprphy who died not that long ago, suddenly aged 4, superb dog to take on XC rides.

I am off to collect an 8 week old Irish Terrier tomorrow * ; )

The girl n me have already named our dog... sad we know, but we have been planning on getting one for a good while.

With the impending acquisition of our own first home we will more than likely adopt a rescue dog in the nearish future. Love Retrievers but will just go with the first one we both like at the centre type thing.

It will probably have to be a shop dog as well seeing as i would want to 'live' with it rather than leave it at home.

Anyway, here is Jazzy, the girlboydog - belongs to GF and her parents, he lives in aberdeen and has had tons of lumps removed and a broken arm, and lost an ear to a cancery thingy. I love him.

[img] [/img]

Previously had GSD, Mastiff X and a Pit bull. Now have a 5 month old Hungarian Vizsla (only had him 3 weeks) Hope he's going to make a good trail hound 🙂

[img] [/img]

2. Would love to have an Irish Wolfhound

3. Anything not to large (Great Dane, Wolfhound)

[img] [/img]

When I lived in OZ, I had a hankering after owning a Kelpie. Smart, domesticated farm dog.

Ended up being an RSPCA recidivist!

Please can people refrain from posting cute pictures of border terriers. Everytime Mrs Duke see a cute BT puppy she wants to have another BT pup. And well, who am I to refuse? 😆

This is almost the best thread ever - congarts to all of you for having lovely dogs and taking ace photos, there's some beauties there!
[IMG] [/IMG]

NO.

MORE.

BORDER TERRIER.

PICTURES.

PLEASE!

It's agony!

It took ages to get to the boxers on this thread - glad I did though....I've had em all my life and love them! Bit 'thick' though (or should I say...pretend to be until they want something!) - Here's mine...

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

I've looked at all the dogs and decided mine is the best.

No way!! [i]This[/i] dog is the best! 😉

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Some absolutely cracking dogs on here!! Those Boxers' are handsome!

Boris: My weimaraner, from a rescue dedicated to this breed! Not to keen on children as they make him nervous, doesn't always listen and does what he wants (hopefully doggy school with sort him out)
[img] [/img]

Chocolate lab, ruddy lovely dogs in every way
Boxer dogs, again wonderful animals
Rotty, just because they're big silly dogs
Vizsla, similar to Boris so hopefully a play thing if I can get one!

jt 😉

No pics of mine (I'll have to address that problem)
I,ve a cross breed springer staffy 3yr old from rescue
Patterdale terrier 1yr old from a pup.
I think thier great and I wouldnt be with out them 😀

Goon, nice dog indeed, apparently I have to ask if he would answer to Ted...

If anyone else posts pics of Border Terrier pups I'm going to get this thread deleted for the sake of my bank account and marriage.

Well here is a few more for Mrs Duke sorry DD.

Nice dogs But Golden Retriver wins it

Posted reply but forgot to add my list 😯

1,Rescue dog
2, Rescue dog
3, small dog something

need to see the dog, get that vibe from them, then I know they picked me 😕

I sneaked a look at your gallery yesterday 2hottie so I could see more.

I need to have a long chat with the Mrs.

Much as I adore [i]2hottie[/i]'s Brian (honorary mascot of the Gisburn Forest trail volunteers), this here is my friend's hound Hugo who is definitely my favourite, a real character.

Four years ago, when he used to get taken mountain-biking or hill-walking somewhere or other pretty much every weekend, a lean, mean, running machine...

[IMG] [/IMG]

And now, greyer in the face, bigger in the tummy (so that makes two of us... 😳 ), and with four gimpy legs, still active but enjoying a slightly easier pace of life in the Outer Hebrides...

[IMG] [/IMG]

Another Border

our Archie

[img] [/img]

Goon, nice dog indeed, apparently I have to ask if he would answer to Ted...

Occasionally, when it suits him. How did you know? (Is that Maisie from Gap / Lurcher Link? If so I can guess how you know Ted. :-))

Not a terrier man at all, but the borders are so lovely.

Tony_m - We owned a liver spot dalmatian some years ago. He was a true gentleman among dogs.

If anyone else posts pics of Border Terrier pups I'm going to get this thread deleted for the sake of my bank account and marriage.

There are more than enough dogs in rescue looking for a home that are going for a recession beating price.....

Goon - yeap, the one and the same Maisie so you probably did guess right 😉

Was showing Maisie's "mum" your great pics and got cheers of "I know who That dog is!". now if I can only get her on an mtb with me and Maisie...

Whats my favourite breed? Any if I'm brutally honest.

Last week I stopped the ride so I could stroke a Westie and a Staff/Whippet-cross (the staff cross kept on growling at me but I kept on stroking) 🙄

All dogs are great 8)

Scrumpy - aka stinky dingo. Our 10 month old short haired Vizsla. Went on his first ride last week and really well! He's mad as a box of frogs though.

That's true hora. They're all fab.

You know when its EXACTLY 7am or 7pm as Bingo sits in the exact same place as stares at his bowl.

[img] [/img]

At exactly 10pm he vanishes upstairs to bed. Sheesh.

For me it's a Border Collie everytime although we're having a Border terrier now by the looks of it 🙄 😆

Our 2 - Jess (Blk/Wht) Grumpy,mental,reasonable obeidence,very loyal. Never enough sticks or running for her. Love her to bits.
Patch (Ginger) Mental rescue dog, reasonable obeidence, chases other dogs..horses..his tail..jess...scared by his own farts...chewed the sofa (now repaired by gaffa tape)..Love him to bits.
Wouldn't be without both of them.

Webster , he`s a Bouvier des Flandres or a big hairy bugger 😆

Here's my Patterdale, (Or Fatterdale as we call her as we are still trying to work off the last bit of the beach ball look she had when we took her on.) As stated elsewhere she's as daft as the brush she emulates.

Westies = really gay dogs. My folks had two, both sets of grandparents one and the neighbours but one had one. Yappy little things getting in the way and when they're old they stop barking and develop an 'arfff' type noise.

Scotty dog looks better but still equally gay.

It's as if they have small-dog syndrome and just yap, and it's a gay sounding yap too. blinking things.

[img] [/img]

this one, its been a tough day.

first time at to the beach, met more dogs today than he's ever met.

[img] [/img]

He may look nice but he is an absolute pain in the arse! Think he is actually a Sproker but not according to his paperwork, genuine cocker going by the name of Nobby!

Hi Sorry All heres our 6month old Border Terrier Brodie http://www3.snapfish.co.uk/slideshow/AlbumID=2649955010/PictureID=102080399010/a=3357015010_3357015010/otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfishuk/

Ella, Always hungry..

springer spaniel, then lab, then perhaps border collie. the reason i say perhaps is that we had a very traumatic time with our last collie, she was psychopathic and thought the world was out to get her. she bit everyone in our family at least once apart from me. we contacted the collie rescue centre and, very traumatically, decided to have her put down. we now have a springer spaniel called ben, 6 months old and as mad as a hatter, but we all love him.

Its been posted a few times, my hound Monty, best mate and finder of food from impossible places.

Would love a boarder terrier as well but would never have another dog with lad in them as they are obsessed by food 🙄

molly is pretty nice..........

No dogs, house (rented), money and time don't allow any right now.

1) Hungarian Vizla - was very tempted to kidnap this one

2) German Short Haired Pointer

3) Lab (I'm his godmother, i teach him that god is just dog spelt backwards)

lakeland terriers!!

1) Currently a ( now somewhat old and slightly whiffy ) black lab with a sweet disposition
[img] [/img]

2) always fancied a Cocker Spaniel, but would happily take 90% of the dogs in this thread

3) If it just related to geography that would mean a Yorkshire Terrier and sorry but they would be in my 10% no file, just can't get on with them.

i love unusual cars, bikes and dogs, so often have different things

I always wanted a chow chow- this is rufus he is 4, had him since a pup, very laid back, like a living teddy bear, here he is chilling

[IMG] [/IMG]

if I could manage another id buy another tomorrow, or maybe a sharpei

One with it's ass sewn up.

..

But I do like collies.
