I've never owned a dog, but I'm seriously considering it now.

What's a good dog to start with?

I need something that doesn't shed too many hairs and won't leave dog-eggs in the house.

I don't want anything too big or too small, so I was thinking about a beagle or a spaniel.

Any help with this life-changing decision will be much appreciated.

Ta.
 
**** off.

Anybody that thinks keeping animals in their home is a good idea is a filthy dirty disgusting ****.
 
Being the proud owner of several canines I would just like to say.

**** up Gambol you ****.

Ponders don't get a dog mate. You are far to immature to commit to such a commitment.

Why don't you go for a gerbil or some such rodenty type pet.

Thanks for the advice, Waldo.

Tell me about your dogs?

And why you have Matthew Kelly in your picture?

You will have no sexual gratification from me sonny. My dogs will remain private.
The first rule of dog club Ponders. Never talk about dog club.

The second rule, take them to Gambol's street to ****.

We have a Golden Labrador. Bit of a nuisance around other dogs and teenagers, but she's a good girl. Fastest dog on the estate, too. She outran a Jack Russell the other day (yes, I know they're only small, but they're one of the fastest dog breeds).

In case you hadn't guessed, I'm interested in dogs and their speed.

You sure you are not thinking of Jack Brabham?

Give a dog speed and it will run very fast.

There are no dog's except Chinese crested that will not deposit hairs all over the gaff, and do not be fooled into thinking short haired dogs will molt less, they don't and often the shorter hairs are more difficult to remove than those deposited by a longer haired version. I have been around dogs all my life and can confirm Border Collies are energetic and need lots of exercise but the rewards from them are many and they pay you back in bundles. I have an English Cocker Spaniel at the moment he is very loyal and less needy than my Collie he would be ideal for a first timer, be wary of the spaniel/poodle cross The Cockerpoo, they are mental, not in a bad way but have too much energy for the first timer IMHO. You will need to take your time and chose wisely, the type of dog that will fit in with your lifestyle. There are many mongrels out there that are pretty cute and in general they can be less prone to illnesses than the pure bred's. Once you have decided, look forward to a new member of the family, just like kids they can and will be a pain in the bum, but they get under your skin really quickly. If you go for a puppy as opposed to a more mature dog you will need to be very patient and also tailor its surroundings so it doesn't destroy yours. Ponder this.
