Subject : Puppies!
Hi all! We have decided not to TTC again until the new year so we can recover from the miscarriage fully! We have decided to get a puppy and I wondered if any of you are breeders! Xxx

Not a breeder but if you are thinking of getting a puppy I recommend a Border Collie...We have a little collie named Millie who is 1 year old this week and she is amazing with kids! We were very lucky to get such a soft natured dog but Colllies are known for being good with children

Hi Becky Lou....really hope you are doing OK hunny, I still think about you all of the time. I have bred German Shepherds and Golden retrievers, my golden, Tiegan was mated last season but didnt concieve so we will be trying again next season. It entirely depends on what breed you are looking for but make sure that whoever you go to has done ALL of the breeds relevent health checks on both of the parents eg.hip scoring, eye testing etc etc.
A good site is www.champdogs.co.uk
You can read up on the breeds there and find out which of the breeds you like are more high maintenance and what their temperaments are like.
I have trained, bred, shown dogs for years now and also work at a rehoming centre for dogs. If you want any advice on certain breeds etc then please feel free to send me a mail and ask me anything you like, I will help if I can. Amy_t2006@hotmail.co.uk
Good luck hunny, hope things are getting a little easier, wish you both the very best of luck
Amy 31+5 xx

Hi there, I am sorry to gatecrash but I just wanted to say that I was considering a Border Collie and then I was told by a breeder that they are essentially working dogs and super intelligent so if you don't work them enough then they can nip. She was really good as she told us to very seriously consider what breed suited our lifestyle rather than just what we liked the look of. I understand now that it's for that reason there are so many dogs rehomed because they haven't been given the chance to live in the environment which they were actually bred for so, in short - if you get a collie make sure it has tons of mental stimulation and strenuous exercise.
Hope that helps.
