Loyal loving companions

Advantages: Loyal, friendly, quiet dogs.
Disadvantages: health problems

I write a review on this breed of dog with confidence, as we have had 4 King Charles Spaniels in our family since i was a baby, and each one has not failed to please. Puppy behaviour Out of the 4 King Charles we have owned within the family, i can remember 3 being puppies. As puppies, they are very playful, and love a good nibble on pretty much anything they can find - however, they are easily checked and soon learn whats acceptable and whats not. ...
...about 30mins play, they get very sleepy and usually lay down for over an hour and sleep, then wake up to creat more puppy mischief!! As puppies, we have found all King Charles to be very loving, especially when they are tired, they pretty much beg to be on your knee and all of ours have snuggled in and slept like a baby! The King Charles puppy we have at the moment, Benji, is very sociable and loves to meet new people, especially children. He makes ...

Review of Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Staffordshire bull terrier

Advantages: short hair hardly notice moulting, protective of children, intelligent
Disadvantages: none

I have had my staff charley since she was 4months old she is 9yrs old now. I brought her when my son was 2yrs old and they have been great friends ever since, she is extremely protective of him, she even slows him down ( by grabbing his trouser legs ) when he goes too high on the swing. My staff has so much patients and she is very friendly, she is also quite vocal and likes to talk. She chewed a little as a puppy mostly garden plants, like my grape ...
...that. Having short hair we hardly notice the moulting season. she tolerates others dogs well and never copies barking or really takes any notice when dogs walk passed in the street or park. She is very intelligent and still has boundless energy, it surprises me how fast she can run being her little stocky build. Sometimes her legs play her up, if she gets carried away with the running around or my son has walked her too far then she sometimes ...

Review of Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Adopting Jake the Jack Russell

Advantages: Loving, company, exercise for me!
Disadvantages: Barking at other dogs

...over a two year old Jack Russell a month ago, from some friends who were moving house and couldn't take him with them. My husband and kids had been campaigning to have a dog for several years, but I wasn't keen as I knew that I would end up being the one doing all the walks etc and didn't think I could cope with the extra work. However, I'd gradually come around to the idea and decided that a Jack would be the breed that I'd most likely risk, as ...
...used to dog-sit Nipper the Jack for my in-laws when they went on holiday. So when our friends asked for anyone who could give Jake a home at short notice, we decided to go & meet him, and consequently brought him home. The first night he was here, he slept in our bed, between us, initially with his head on mine. We bought a bed for him the next day, as he didn't have his own one due to him having slept on the sofa previously. It has taken a few weeks ...

Review of Jack Russell Terrier

Companion for a life time

Advantages: There love, there habits, and companionship
Disadvantages: The digging they do

...and will be about my West Highland Terrier named Hamish. What they were used for? ---------------------------------- West Highland Terriers are more commonly known as Westies and are famous for their white coat. The breed originated from Scotland where they were used to help find foxes and badgers. Hamish is very good at chasing away people when I am walking him and this I think is evidence to the past to what they were used for. My dog ...
...habit some dogs have. West Highland Terriers are known to suffer from skin conditions. They have fair skin so they are likely to suffer from the simplest of irritations like a flea bite or even something brushing past them. Caring for Hamish --------------------- Well I do a lot of stuff for Hamish to make sure he does not have any problems with his health. I clean his ears with a special substance brought by the vet which is this type of ...

Review of West Highland Terrier

springer spaniel - problem dog.

Advantages: beautiful dogs.
Disadvantages: Way too hyper and naughty and don't listen.

...I can't agree. The english springer spaniel is a gundog, often used for fishing and are very versatile sporting dogs. They have lots of energy and are good for work and family life. Springer spaniels usually have a lifespan of around 9-15 years, although this can vary between dogs as they are all different. They usually grow to aroung thigh high which again can vary between dogs. Apparently, these dogs are meant to be eager to please and good to ...
...wanted a puppy a few years back, about a year before I had my son and I have always loved the look of springer spaniels and when I saw an ad for the puppies in a newspaper and went to have a look with my daughter. From a litter of four, I picked a lovely brown and white bitch with gorgeous fluffy ears. She was 9 weeks old and adorable and set me back £280. At home, she was the normal nervous puppy at first, but came out of her shell after a few hours. ...
