male or female??
Posted: Sun Dec 27, 2009 5:10 pm
Hello there
I am quite new to this site and find it really interesting and love all the doggie pictures in the snow. Yesterday my husband and I went for a lovely long walk on the moors where we live near Haworth in West Yorkshire and lots of couples and their dogs were loving it too, a beautiful blue sky and snow all around and lots of slushy bits which wasn't quite as nice!
Just want to ask a question and hopefully someone out there might answer! We are hopefully going to get a dog soon that is compatable to us and am wondering when we will. I know I have to be very patient and wait like Jan said to us. What actually happens? Does Jan arrange for you to see just one dog that should be a good match for you? It sounds exciting and I'm wondering whether anyone has any preference to Male or female. We used to have a male called Robbie and he was very big and lovable, someone actually thought he was a Tibetan mountain dog.
I know Jan said you can't pick whether you can have a male or female. I am not really bothered though. I
We live in a normal 3 bedroomed semi-detached with a garden so we could only have one dog and a golden is quite big enough!! I love retreivers as they seem so loving, affectionate and Robbie definetly was very soft and loving. He was protective too and would bark his very deep and loud bark if someone knocked at the door. We had a nick name for him which was DOUGAL, as when he was excited at feeding time he used to sit and wait by my side then he would do a quick circle and sit again then he would do another circle so we named him Dougal after the dog in the magic Roundabout!! He used to have a mad half hour in the garden running around in big circles hoping we would chase him! He loved going on our walks to St Ives Estate, a place where people take their children and dogs, the estate has a park and golf course, lake and lots of woodland walks. I only had to say St Ives and he used to do his little circle trick in anticipation of me going to get his lead.
I would love to hear from anyone who can explain their story and what happened when they got a new dog from Jan It's just nice to read your stories!!!
