Aye we had 1 for a couple of years.A dote of a dog.Grand around kids and other pets.Ye would prob need 2 of them or another pet in the house tho. They get fierce lonely and if your very houseproud i'd steer clear cause they are bugger's to train.Impossible almost.Greedy feckers too eat anything..

Cheers for info. I heard they get lonely. Dont think I have a big enough garden to keep two though. Maybe if they can genetically engineer dwarf versions that stay puppy sized

Well i suppose it would only be an issue if he would be left on his own a lot.If yersel or someone will be there most of the time ye'll be grand.But if yer at work all day and he's alone for 8 hrs or whatever he'll be mad as a brush in jig time.Sunniest disposition i've ever seen in a dog tho.

Nah couldnt guarantee it company during the day unfortunately so it would be cruel to keep one. Ill just have to watch flash on dukes of hazard reruns and think of what might have been

I was gonna suggest that myself but couldn't remember his name.
