Looking for another dog

[Nails]

Dudge, a good idea is when getting a new dog is...

Take your current dog along with you, see how it reacts to the pups etc.

Your dog might fall in love with a puppy at first sight or might lose it... At least this way you'll get an idea of how it'll be and you can give them a chance to become friends before bringing the puppy home :o

Thats a great idea Nails, but i still worry about when the pups in his (meaning the old fellas territory ), as oppossed to neutral surroundings. I wonder if they would let me take one home for a day, but then again, would it go back in the same condition if things don't work out, if u know what i mean. For example minus an  ear :-\

You could also look at getting a dog (not pup) though you can also get pups from dog rescues...

From my highly limited experience they tend to have some great dogs, and that way you'll be able to take your dog along to meet them (well I took my dog along to meet Sheila, another cattle dog)

I realise it's not as fun as getting a pup but you'll get a developed dog to keep the family happy and at least know how your dogs will start getting along

I also think they give you a trial for a couple weeks to make sure you're happy and the dog is happy too.

if you introduce them in neutral ground, and they get on, they should be fine.

Another smart but excellent guard dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback.  This is another dog that shouldnt be for an inexperienced dog owner.

One of my friends has a Ridgeback named Cougar.
Doesn't like new people at all :(

They are notorious for only liking their owners.  They are not the type of dog that is playful with everyone.  This dog was raised as a loyal hunting dog (used for hunting lions) and only working with their owners.  This trait has run down through the breeding.

You better hide her Marcz, as soon as my missus saw your photos, she fell in LOVE. i wouldn't put it past her, to stalk u and abduct that gorgeous pup lol. She an absolute beauty mate, Can i ask how much she cost ?

[Grazz]

@ Marcz that's a pretty cute dog. What did you call her ? Supreme or Ham and Pineapple.

@ Dudge Rotti's are great dogs, intelligent loyal and will guard a chip packet if told to so no drama with your property.
Sam would be fine with a puppy i think. He's not overly aggressive and i think he would love the company personally.

I would bet London to a brick Sam would lick it to death rather than chew it. We've had this conversation so i'l stay out of it and let others give thier incite.
