Hello! Welcome to the forums! My Xena ate up everything in sight at 4 months including our floors and our walls (how she was able to bite a flat surface is beyond me). Once theyre through teething theyll stick to their toys for the most part. Good luck!

Yes, they are.  Kiah is a rescue so I don't have any puppy pictures but they could almost be twins.

Only been to Liverpool once with school - a looonnggg time ago, but i really enjoyed it, saw The Cavern and the Richard & Judy studio! Yay!   Pretty countyside all around.
Just wanted to ask : How's the dog breed situation in England? Still all labradors and retrievers? What's become popular?
P.S. I'm from Chard in Somerset, originally - have still got a bit of the accent to prove it!

Hello and welcome!!

hi caillou,
boxers are not as easy to get than labs and retrievers. also, boxers are the most re- homed dog, so ive been told, due to their endless energy and non stop chewing.

You don't see a ginormous amount of Boxers in Ireland either, but they do seem to be getting more popular.  Or maybe I'm just noticing more of them since we got Tink - same thing happens when you get a particular car, has anyone ever noticed???!

Labs are also hugely popular here, but for some reason the most popular breeds tend to be the smaller ones - King Charles, Westies and Jack Russels.  (And I absolutely LOATHE Jack Russels.  They are the ugliest looking, ugliest tempered dogs ever!)

Also, we have oodles of the ever-popular Heinz 57 Varieties!

hi welcome. i stay in aberdeen scotland and its true soon as u get a certain breed of dog and or car you start to notice them everywhere. you dont see that much rotties here in aberdeen i probably know every single one of their names now since i got my 2 but before i doubt i would have even seen one. same with my lil boxer chelsea...start to notice more boxers about.

 

[beckhamboxer]

Yeah... I never really noticed Boxers until we got Odin... same thing with cars... I rarely noticed any Dodge Magnums until I bought one, now I see them everywhere.

Funny thing is, I never heard of my former dog... the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog, until I had one... funny thing was, I still haven't seen any while I had her or since!

(Generic pic, not actually my former dog, but it's a Catahoula!)

 

[Alicia]

Welcome!  Just got to take a peek at the pictures.....he's a cutie!

 

[Honeyec]

Jesus, that Catahoula looks like something out of 28 Days Later!  Freaky eyes...

Yeah, and our Catahoula acted like something out of 28 Days Later!

Catahoula's have a reputation for making Boxers look as frisky and active as a Bassett Hound.
