    Shiba Inu is a cool looking dog. I don't know anything about the breed, but they look good.

        @Megatron1505:

        Current thinking is that I want a Shiba Inu, Pam want s a miniature Schnauzer, and Tommy just wants a dog.

        The holy dogs need a strong leadership as all dogs. Although they are beautiful i would probably not begin with this breed. Get a mini Bull Terrier those should be cool with Kids and Family 🙂

        Cheers,
        David

          what about a beagle?

          i think you and Tommy would love that one…hell, they can even fly!

          … 😉

            Beagle would be a good compromise dog, and Tommy loves them, and they have a very gentle temperament.

            After discussions we have decided that we are a year away from a dog (apologies for wasting peoples time on the dog discussion), as we have a BIG 12 months ahead of us.

                  Gav take ur time thats fair enough, for u, your fam and the animal. I have waited over 20years to get another dog and it was only possible also because my employer fully supported my decision. Whatever you choose you will be cool, showing the dog love and its direction and place in the pack. Good luck whenever the time comes man. I never regretted having Jessy but it is hell of time consuming.

                    Also when choosing a breed, think what you are willing and able to do with that dog.

                    If you want it just to be around, choose a breed that doesn't need lotsa exercise/walking out and doesn't have hunting instinct.
                    If you're willing to make your dog a hobby…then think what you want to do with it. Narrow down the choices and see what will be left.

                    Chris is right about the size. Also I think Tommy will want to walk the dog, so smaller dog will be more suitable than say 70kg Rottie.

                    Think, study and ponder. In best (worst?) case scenario the dog will be with you 10-15 years.

                          Gav,

                          In my experience, it's not just the dog breed, it's the ownership that makes a difference. As long as the dog is moderately intelligent and well bread, you'll get out of them what you put into it. I'll bet a stack of cash that Davito's dog is pretty incredible

                          Fat dudes need good clothes too.

                            I bought a pocket tee from everlane that I quite like.  They only go up to Large in sizes but its fairly large for a Large.

                            Anyone have some first hand experiences with their regular t-shirts?.. 15 $ a pop and made in LA… Sounds good to me...

                              Guys,

                              Thank you sincerely for all the dog advice, as I said originally I grew up with dogs and we used to own a Siberian Husky. To share our experience with her, we had her as a rescue dog from a home where she was badly mistreated, she was ignored, beaten, and came to us with an injured spine, hips and numerous behavioural problems. We had her before Tom was born, and she was like a daughter to me, I loved her with all my heart.

                              Pam and i spent literally thousands of pounds of vets, a canine chiropractor, behavioural training, and even a kind of dog psychologist. When she had been with us for three months she bit Pam quite badly on the hand, we persevered, a few months later she bit my friends wife on the arm, again we bought in specialists in canine behaviour. Then we had Tommy, for the first year things were ok, nervous but ok, then one night Pam turned her back for 5 seconds, Tommy picked up Sashas chews from the shopping bag, and Sasha bit a hole clean through his hand.

                              We had to have Sasha put to sleep, we could not send her on to another family knowing how she was, it broke my heart into tiny pieces. We knew that the way she had been treated early in her life had so scarred her that she would never be trustworthy with people, she also had many other behavioural problems which I won't bore people with.

                              The reason I am telling you all this is to show that when I say "I will carefully consider what type of dog I bring into my family", you can certainly believe me. Owning Sasha, seeing the damage that her first owners did to her, and ultimately losing Sasha because of it was one of the hardest things I have ever been through, I have no interest in going through it again.

                                Heartbreaking story, Mega. You did what you had to. At least you can take pride in giving Sasha some well-deserved compassion, in her final years. Best of luck with your future search, and I think you are very wise to approach this decision in a calculated manner. You will know when the time is right.

                                  I just got myself a goruck and need a patch. I started cutting out some leather to design one when I thought the leather patch off my jeans is about that size… and it is pretty close but I don’t want to cut it off! So does anyone out there have a spare one? Giles any comp ones left over? 😉 cheers guys

                                  Also Mega i have had two Rhodesian ridgeback both from the same great breeder and both great dogs that are perfect with children but they are big. I have also had two other dogs that didn’t have the same great first upbringing and they were a lot harder to trust and train. If you buy from the breeder always see the mum, if you feel comfortable and positive you are on the right track. We had to choose from 2 breeders and went with the one that had the postive feel when we saw mum and the pups and i would now never go to a different breeder.

                                        Hey all…
                                        I have a question about whiskers in thigh. I have very slim thighs, and I use my jeans 1 size up because I'm afraid I'll grow fatter than now. But I feel worry about my whiskers because they appear in very small amount compared with anyone else. Is this related with the upsize???
