Vicky, sorry to crash your diary again!
Just clicked on the notification thing because you liked something, blah, blah and I noticed your sausages on profile pic.
Husband and I have been discussing breeds for when (eventually) we can have a dog and he said he'd like a sausage, but a bearded one (wire-coat then?) and not a male (he had a smooth-coat male sausage who peed all over their furniture and doesn't want to repeat the experience
). Otherwise he said they are good.
What I want from a dog is one who likes walking, is robust enough to endure long hikes, will walk off the lead, I don't mind barking, don't want one who tries to escape all day long though (hence not going for a male) and needs to be trainable - ie not too stubborn - have ruled out boxers (yes, I had one), dalmations and jack russels for that reason!
And now I've typed this, I realise that I should have PMd you. We're not in any rush (have just got a cat) as this won't be on the cards for a couple of years at least, but seeing the photo popped it into my head!
