Crap iDiotphone pic of my two - can you see what's got their attention?
Put it this way if anyone can't see it they seriously want their eyes looking atCrap iDiotphone pic of my two - can you see what's got their attention?
Thought I'd add our little girl to this thread - life hasn't been the same since we got her some 16 months ago!
A couple at 8 weeks - her first day with us:
Then at 5 months, she loved that Meerkat:
She still likes the drainpipe the builders gave her, but can't do this anymore:
A bit more recent - relaxing by the willow tree:

Thanks to you both; we do get a lot of comments on how pretty she is - we are biased of course! 
She's 16 months now and we still can't decide wether to have a litter of pups from her in the new year when her next season comes round.
We both fancy another (perhaps a blue boy this time?) but, as you might be able to tell from the "decor" in the first photo, we're living in a static caravan whilst doing the house up! Having said that, as my OH said, it's probably better to have pups running amok in a cheap caravan rather than in the house once we've finished it with nice furnishings and finishes.

Had a bit of a bad experience today, Yoda got attacked by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier 
I have no ill feelings towards Staffies (really like them), just the idiot owners that do not control their dogs. Yoda was on the lead on the beach (at this time of year all dogs must be on leads) and the staff just ran over, no warning growl, nothing, and latched itself onto Yoda's neck. How intimidating must a six month old lab be to warrant that response, Yoda was wagging his tail ffs
Luckily it was not a real attack as I managed to grab the Staff by the harness and pull it off, no puncture wounds etc. I'm a little ashamed to say I was not kind to the owner of the Staff, who was the complete opposite to the person you would picture as being an owner of a badly controlled Staffie. Really.
Quite upsetting, but I'm a sensitive soul when it comes to my dog! Still, we managed to have a good walk. Yoda seemed unaffected and happy as always. Couple of pics of Yoda being naughty back home.

Sorry to hear about Yoda.
A Staffie attacked my first golden retriever when it was a small puppy (I seem to recall it was the first time we took the dog out - probably 5 months old). It came close to blinding my dog and left him with a scar over his left eye for the rest of his life.
However, my goldie was not mentally scarred by the incident at all and was always great around other dogs. Yoda should be fine.

got 2 'yodas' and they are as soft as sA Staffie attacked my first golden retriever when it was a small puppy (I seem to recall it was the first time we took the dog out - probably 5 months old). It came close to blinding my dog and left him with a scar over his left eye for the rest of his life.

te. my wife was out with the older one when she was about the same age as yoda and 2 staffies approached, and one of them got her round the neck in a similar way. the owner was out of sight when it happened, and appeared just after and wasn't apologetic in any way and indeed defended her dogs. my wife was too shocked and upset to react in any meaningful way, and luckily our 'yoda' (asbo) wasn't badly hurt.it's fair to say it would have unfolded a little differently if it had been me walking her.
I had attack the staffie to get it off my goldie - it would not let go and the owner was useless. When I prised the staffie off my dog, I had to pick it up and run to the car - I thought it was blinded and I just wanted to get him to a vet, asap.
My wife tried to approach the owner but he and his girlfriend just ran. My wife got his reg number as he made his escape. We reported him to the police who chose to prosecute. He pleaded guilty. We didn't ask for damages, we just wanted him to muzzle his dog, which was clearly both dog-aggressive and not within his control.

We had a similar experience with our two Goldens, walking down a country lane on the lead miles from anywhere and two bull terriers cam out of a field and attacked us. One attached itself to the neck of one of our dogs and in the end it only let go when I hit it repeatedly with a walking stick. I managed to get between them and my wife and our dogs and kept them at bay with the walking stick. Eventually the leader lunged forwards, I caught it on the jaw with the end of the stick, blood flew and it turned and ran.
It was a truly horrendous experience, not provoked by us in any way, and something I never want to experience again. So I am very wary whenever I see one, particularly if it is off the lead.

Horrible to hear this, I am glad they are OK, - my two Dachsies were attacked by a Rottweiler in May this year. Thankfully it never got it's bite latched onto them or they would be dead. I have nothing against any breed, only moronic and ignorant owners. And they make me really really angry. My wife tried to approach the owner but he and his girlfriend just ran.

Anyway just to say that I always carry pet corrector spray whenever I am out now. I have no idea if it would work (compressed air makes a lound hiss as a distraction) but it helps me feel better I guess..... for a few weeks I could not face being in dog walking areas alone and one of my dogs is very nervous anyway. I was petrified and so were my dogs and it was a really narrow escape.
This little fella may well curl up on his bed and go to sleep, he spent the best part of this afternoon gallavanting round the local area on his own. Fortunately a passing driver picked him up, looked up a local vet and handed him in.
Had he not been wearing a collar with a name/telephone number on and been microchipped, I wouldn't have a dog here to take rubbish pics of.
