This is Mr Dantie a German Spitz (Kleine) who is staying with me for a couple weeks over Christmas He is just 12 months old and has qualified for Crufts if I want to show him next year   |

He's FULL ON and has boundless energy - just going to get ready for a long walk over the fields and thru the woods - I may find some holly "lying on the ground" so will take my new SWAG bag to fill it  |

He looks like he needs a bit of grooming to keep all that fluff in order |

He looks adorable but all that grooming would get me down  Has he been "done" or might you be facing paternity suits? ;D |

Are they allowed to be done if they're going to be shown? Enjoy your walk Jen - lovely to have company isn't it? |

Oh yes - it probably ups their value anyway, doesn't it? Champion breeding stock  I couldn't be doing with long haired animals - too much mess and hard work.  Do you have to call him Mr Dantie, or does he have a pet name? |

You mean you don't go for the tumbleweed furball effect in your house Auricula? I find it makes hoovering much more satisfying! ;D

I'd forgotten Jen - you used to have to do some serious grooming. A little bear cub doggie would be easy! |

I will be giving him back i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/cry.gif - gave it serious thought and you have to think about his life span it means dedicating myself to the next 14 years of looking after him If didnt have a full time job it may be easier but he is full of energy and needs lots walking He is being really naughty at the mo which means he is happy - took all the tinsel of the tree and got stuck up in it - chewed tassels off my cushions in the kitchen |

I didnt get another one after my last dog died, it was too much responsibility for me on my own when I have to work too...the dark nights and mornings were a factor in my choice too...I get up early enough as it is and walking a dog on my own in the dark is a bit scary too.

Its good to hear people take having a pet....particularly a dog.....seriously. Too many consider them a "decoration"...or "just company". We all know they need a lot of exercise and attention; I see quite elderly people getting a dog or a cat and ruin the animal with inappropriate feeding.....thinking they are being kind ..... |

I found three of my friends are giving their dogs CHOCOLATE  One elderly neighbour gave his dog a packet of maltesers for Christmas Maybe they dont know how dangerous it is to give them chokky |
