I suspect they will be fun.
They also have a pregnant Staffie that was accidently knobbed by both a labrador and a spaniel so they do not what to expect puppywise.
Enough said. My new neighbour is now called James.
Any idea where Paul went? Just wondering, in case anyone else is in a position to keep us updated ;-)
Oh, and any more said about the Vicar's cat?
Paul has only moved 5 miles away. We will keep in touch until he changes his mobile phone number, and that is usually about every 4 weeks.
Not really. He did thank me for staying with her to the end (I am not a big fan of stroking/comforting a pet whilst it is put down but I was the only one available that was prepared to do it) and he gave me the money for the vet's bill that I paid.
My cat ended up getting all his cats remaining food. He gave the litter tray and 3 cat litter bags to the local animal rescue centre. Mine don't need litter trays:-)
Why is that?
Because the original owner blacklists the stolen phone maybe? ;-)
Some people are just utterly feckless at hanging on to phones and equally feckless about hanging on to numbers. If it's a business phone (or rather, a "dodgy business phone"), there's something to be said for NOT hanging on to a number for too long. ;-)

As they say, once is an accident - twice is carelessness. Unless it was a gang bang!
Does he have a curfew tag?

1/3 Staffie 2/3 Spanador?
"Accidently" knobbed ?????????????????????
Ched Evans understands.
Wouldn't the offspring be stafadors and staniels?
A spanador would suggest some interesting lesbian doggy action. [1]

[1] Not a phrase I thought I would ever use in this or any other newsgroup
Sounds like it should be a product in the Catnic catalogue.

Well FYI I met a jackapoo at puppy training class this week.
The puppy trainer was telling us about another punter of his who was proudly showing off his new "Pedigree Labradoodle".
"Er - it's not a pedigree I'm afraid; no such thing; it's just a cross-breed or a mongrel"
"Yes it is, look: here's the official pedigree chart that the breeded gave me"
"How much did you pay for that...?"
"900 quid"

All dogs are either in-bred or mongrels. I know which I'd rather have (well, neither actually but that's beside the point).
Well No that's not totally true. Especially in popular breeds like Labradors, because there are so many of them.
The odd thing is our pure bred labrador has on more than one occasion given rise to a litter of puppies, but only with other black labradors. He has never to my knowledge shagged any other breed.
And that's all of his own volition.
The terrier seems less sure..
I suspect dogs, like cats do not suffer so much from inbreeding anyway.
She will soon be bred.
Leaves me with the picture of the male dog going "I'll just rub noses then sniff your bum...whoops! What happened there? I didn't know it could do that. How strange." :-)

that is more or less what happens.
Pedigree dogs suffer terribly from inbreeding. Many breeders are quite happy to breed their dogs with their own offspring resulting in many recessive conditions being expressed.

Indeed, it's a function of being pedigree. Consider that every breed of domestic dog is descended from wolves - any dog can breed with any dog, because they are all exactly the same species; and all pedigree breeds have been created artificially by humans breeding them willy nilly over the centuries, creating small gene pools by doing so.
To be honest I'm quite uncomfortable about the whole pedigree dog thing, but ultimately I sold out and bought a labrador because I wanted a dog with those traits. Ours is very healthy, and looking at the pedigree chart there are at least no animals in common over the past 5 generations. However, labradors do have are known risks of eye and hip problems in particular. A reputable breeder (like ours) will screen for these, and any animal with a 'high hip score' should not be bred from - "should" being the key word here.
