Don't get me started on 'Goldendoodles' Apparently they 'only need grooming twice a year and have an easy to manage coat' Oh and be very careful...
Best piece of advise I can give you is research your lines even if you want a working type. Some of the lines can be really nervy and sharp, some...
I like them - I just wish owners realised what they were taking on. I have an real influx of them for grooming at the moment and a lot are totally...
Absolutely the 3 coats are all totally different in every way. As I have mentioned before really look at the breeding too. Mine is imported...
Go to the Dachshund forum - you'll get loads of help there x
Yes yes I know what you mean about the socialisation part but that wasn't what I was refering to. I DO think breeding has a lot to do with it...

Min wires are REALLY prone to Canine Lafora which is a late onset version of Epilepsy (along with other problems). It is the most horrific disease....
I agree - each to their own taste, but the grooming costs for a Shih are far dearer than a Tib Sp. All my shih customers are in every 4-6 weeks. ;-)
If you decide on a poodle please remember that it needs regular grooming (so that needs to be factored in). My std poodles in a basic clip are £45...
The labs are all picking up dogs, as are some of the springers, the others are used for beating. One of the Dachshunds is used for vermin, but...
