Plus, it will help me pick up men.

FYI Men are more interested in Pussys than Dogs

It worked in 101 Dalmatians.

I am as pleased as a piggie with two carrots

We squeak in gratitude.

I didn't know that 70% of Dalmations are deaf until this week.

Apparently it's to do with the breeding.

As I mentioned before a mongrel or a cross bred is a good dog, and it is less likely to have genetic problems (expensive vets bills) from being inbred.

What? Oh come on, don't put stuff in General that I may have to go and google elsewhere to see if it's correct.

Yes, I'd go for a 'scruffy wee dog' anytime.

Breed-Specific Deafness Incidence In Dogs (percent)

As I thought.

Classical transposition.

30% have a hearing problem. 70% normal.

Still high though.

Cheers.

I'm still not getting a Dalmation though.

Or a sausage dog as they have bad backs.

Or a sheep dog as they are hyper if normal and timid if you lock them in.

I do like Giant Poodles though but I've only met them in pubs. I don't understand why people cut their coat into funny shapes particularly as they are an intelligent bred.

Personally I'm happy with a mongrel.



I grew up with a lab / collie mix. How can you not love that face?
