Bobcat has already got one Mastiff next door Thats the other thing two big dogs may not get on as well as a tiny bossy boots and a gentle giant might.That's why I don't have a dog yet, Queen...... I can't decide. I absolutely love dogs, cats......you name it (I practically got attached to the possum we found in a tree in our yard). But my Maine Coon Bob is getting old and he's been diabetic for 6 years (two shots a day) and I know he won't last forever. We had a Springer/Border Collie mix that lived to be 16 and he was the best dog in the world. Time for another dog. I don't think I have 100 more years left in me......... but I do want a Yorkie. BobCat would prefer a Mastiff.
I, however, am a rescue pet person...........all my pets have been rescues...... Bought BobCat in a feed store in Eagle River Alaska. Got Baby, my other happy little cat at PetSmart (fresh from the shelter). So I will no doubt end up with the luck of the draw. My cousin has a friend who rescues tiny dogs before they get to the shelter.....and I have word out that I'd like one. But it'll be a mix.

Spanials are untrainable rascals ................ good luck sweety but please try not to take on a big one ................. nothing worse than feeling overwhelmed by that which you love ............ a little scruff can melt the hearts of the biggest men I have seen my nextdoor neighbours' husband, a big strong no nonsense northerner with the tiniest Yorky ( now deceased ) in his hand, she big boss and he a lump of butter so proud of her he was ........ funny xxxx
And yes there are far too many 'unwanted ones' in our messed up societies rrescuers are Angels as far as I am concerned
The Swiss have it as a law that no one may own any pet at all unless they have done a six week long evening class on their pet of choice. I'm not that fond of the Swiss, on the whole, but I wish we all had such structers in place and that 'bloody' Breeders were not so plentiful.
