As title says, what have you got?

I have a 5 yr old border terrier called Sadie, bloody mental. Currently looking for another breed to go with her.
 
ive got a whippet cross staff, unfortunatly all the whippet comes out in a woodland setting! the paw comes up like pluto's at the first sniff of a squirrel and then shes gone!!!! wish she was better behaved as she is great company but useless as a bushcraft friend!!!
 
I,ve a pampered staffie, really like the wee borders though. Get another border as they are a proud wee dog, they will either have the wee man syndrom and have a go if the dog is bigger and bossy if the other dog is smaller.The border terriers a lion pride dog, it is bravest when amongst their equals.

My border will chase anything and usually when you dont want her to. Cats, hedgehogs, squizzers, wabbits, birds, spiders, flys... you name it she will chase it.
 
i have 3 staffords the taller type 4.5 year old called kye great with all animals,misty 4.5 years old very animal aggresive and poppy my red 15 month staffy very animal aggresive...only dog that goes out with me is kye other two are for rabbits..lol

Not fond of the water, then? :D

This is my amphibious stinkhound:

He's apparently a working cocker, if "working" means running about at full pelt for hours on end. Sometimes reacts to the name Jarvis but has selective deafness
 
i have 3 dogs, a bull mastiff rottie mix, called kgosi, a red staffy called Loki, and a American staffy, called junior, and love them all very much, but the one that comes with me ever where i go is my bullmastiff rottie mix, great with other animals, great with other dogs, not so good with people, he is ok with some, but some people he just takes an instant dislike to, he is a very good judge of character, and has learnt me a lot about people, some people i have met and thought, he was a nice guy, but the dog has showed me different the next time we met, and the dog was with me.
take care.

I have a boxer named "Nessa". Completely stupid. She's been camping with us a few times, but she seems to go mental every time somebody leaves the tent/camp, and barks the place down.

She also has an unhealthy obsession with Hedgehogs. She started barking in the garden last night, so I went to investigate with a torch and found her running around, circling a hedgehog in the garden. She evaded my efforts at capture for a good ten minutes, and barked the whole time. She's great fun, but a complete no-hoper when it comes to bushcraft.
 
Here's the lads...........

Brock, the border is almost 4, Loki (snap with Lee's dog) is 17 months. He was re-homed by us in January, yet another rottie whose name we have had to change. It wasn't very original and did nothing at all to promote the breed in a positive way. Very much a teenager at the moment but he's way better than when we got him, one hell of a nose and is faster in a straight line than the collie!
 
yes i also chose kgosi name as the rottie bullmastiff i got from a rescue centre when he was 3 months old, and people tend to pick bruiser or some other mads names for these types of breeds, and strait of the bat the dog is going to have a hard time before he has even stepped out the door.
kgosi is south african for trible leader.
oh yeh the rottie you have is one dog mate, what a cracker.
