Great one…
… hadn’t thought of that 
. I tended to be called the Jaeger-meister
They are great dogs but need a house and garden, especially for the first 6-7 years. Or you need to be prepped to walk 5-7km a day. Also a bit big for small children as they are goofy and don’t know their own size and strength.
Purist dogs - please show yours 🐶
After some years of adult responsibility (i.e. resisting) this morning my wife and me finally caved and agreed to succumb to our children’s demands for a dog. Given that my doctor recommended one during the last checkup for me, too, didn’t harm. My wife a...
We have
Some random pictures from our 2 dogs. Obviously close to the experience with your first dog 😅 Dirk ...
Fabulous 👌🏻🐶👏🏻
And would love a terrier again for their personality. But with still relatively small children we tried to be a tad more prudent 😉😂
Can’t recommend a dog more highly…
… and they blend perfectly with horology, hence the term watchdog (ba boom tish - dad joke). Here’s mine - a 5 year old Weimaraner - named Jaeger for obvious horological reasons and that it means hunter in German. ...
Does that then make you Master Control? 😁
Weimaraners are truly beautiful and I would love one but for that a house would be strongly preferable. There’s always a chance of adding a second dog in due course 🤞🏻😉

There’s that 😊👍🏻
Although the children are now at a size where this would be less of an issue. The space would, though.

DNA Tested "Designer bread" LOL
What works works 😁🦾
Felt it a bit easier to take a breed dog the first time, where you have a tad more predictability for the kids 😊👍🏻
Ah, the kids taking one for the team again! ;^)
After the heirloom piece, pets! ;-) Just kidding, I love dogs and grew around them for the first 25yrs of my life, sadly too complicated in a small apartment so maybe in the future. Looking forward to seeing more pictures!
I am sure it will eventually feature 😁👍🏻
I hear you on terms of the apartment. What type would you go for, if you could?
Three cats, but no dogs at home for me.
The Tibetan Terrier that is about to share your life will undoubtedly be a great source of joy for your children and for you! Best, Emmanuel
The puppy we are looking at…
Is being socialized with cats 🐈 So that’s still an option going forward 😁 What kind of cats do you have?
Good socialization!
Our three cats are stray cats that we have taken in over the years. In fact, two of them are mother and daughter, the third one is a male. They have become true members of our family.
Very cool 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We looked at the shelters for dogs but there was nothing we felt we could easily handle as the kids first dog (most were large and possibly too much for the kids 🤷🏻♂️).
That almost happened last year…
But realistically it was a bit too big for our current situation. Very nice one 👍🏻🐶
Completely unsuitable to the dog in question, which is the point 😂
Was scaring my daughter we would call it Adelheid but it’s a boy finally 😉
We have actually considered both 😁
Felt Sasquatch is not quite geographically appropriate and Bigfoot is still not fully out 😂
Those are so adorable 🐶🐶
I am not sure that ours will not acquire a companion eventually 😉
Seasonally appropriate 👌🏻👍🏻🎄
Really nice - if I trusted the kids to do a bit more of the grooming it would have been a serious contender 😊🐶
They did 😂
The compromise was to start with the dog and if they properly help out for 6 months and still want tortoises, they can add them then 😉
Our Mini Goldendoodle
3yrs old, my first dog ever thanks to my daughter. She agreed to look after it, but in reality, I'm the one who does mostly everything ...
Mission creep, eh? 😁😂
That’s why we decided to skip the entry level pipeline of turtles, rodents etc. and went for a dog. Then even if the kids don’t do much at least we have something from it 👍🏻
This is a rat hole since there are more dog pics than pics of my kids 😀😜…….
A 110lb Swiss’s named Luna… Looking regal…. Always goofy…… ...
Looking like a proper family member 😁👍🏻
No doubt ours will feature on many pictures 😉 He will probably run away from the process less than our kids currently do 😂
Don’t I know bad Foxterriers 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They are so much fun at the same time, though 😉👍🏻 Thanks for joining in 🙏🏻
Need to dig out some old pictures of ours 😁
Like the owner she enjoyed road trips (albeit with her head through the window) and was exceedingly well travelled - if not that well trained 😂
Yeah, we're a sucker for terriers.
We've had a couple of Schnauzers, a couple of Wire Foxes and a couple of Sealyhams through the years. As I mentioned we have a Sealyham and a Wire Fox right now. We generally have 2 dogs at a time.
That might be a sensible arrangement…
But let us start with one and see how the kids cope. If I tell my wife she needs to deal with two dogs and two kids with my current still rolonged absences… 😱😉
My wife sucked me into the idea of 2 dogs. "but they need to have a buddy". Hell, they ignore each other and growl at each other half the time.
This was our first Sealyham which the breeder wanted to show. Ended up as a grand champion like the movie Best of Show. lol ...
That will probably be the argument of our children, too 😂😂😂
Wonderful looking dog 🐶👌🏻
I do hear you 😊🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
It won’t be the kids doing the potty training, though 🤷🏻♂️😂
Ah, they do learn…
But some less than fully slept through nights ahead 😉 Not for the first time in our lives 😂🤷🏻♂️
Has there been a Lagotto litter readily available…
Your picture would have made me immediately reconsider. Alas unfortunately nothing on the horizon in the vicinity 🤷🏻♂️ A great pair and two of my favorite breeds👍🏻👌🏻
We got her during Covid…
…and had to wait nearly a year to get a puppy allocated. Reminds me of watch collecting 😂
😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The wait time for ours is no AD trick - they are just 4 weeks old and should not leave home before 8-9 😉
Sweeet!!
Can't wait to see pictures of your actual pet . I've always wanted a Husky, but there ain't no way I am keeping one without having an appropriate piece of land, certainly not in a 30 square meter apartment - that would be a nightmare straight off the bat ...
Agree with you - huskies need space and activity 😊🦾
But are really cool dogs. Be sure there will be pictures up as soon as we pick it up 😁👍🏻
That’s great news, and yes, more responsibility! 😂
We have had at least one dog in the family for the last twenty years, and earlier last year welcomed a new arrival. And at “home” always dogs, both growing up and now (4 currently, 1 house dog and 3 working dogs). It’ll be great!
Adding to the growing puppy pile!
Meet Rainey, the Akita (aka "The Princess"), 85 pounds, turning 3 in April, and our 4th Akita. Don't let the pathetic look fool you. This could be the most indulged large dog in human history. (I know some small ones who outstrip her.) On the sands in Can...
This is brilliant 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks so much for the pictures and the story - was brilliant 👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you!
She's just a great dog! It would be even better if she could speak for herself, but she's not the most articulate. ;-)
Excellent photos and great tales of the Akita
As a cat person I can appreciate other people’s dogs without compromising my love for our own pets. Cheers, Cazalea
And not just the owner of any cats 🐈
But of the active and prized Wristscan participation ones 😁👏🏻👍🏻
A great looking pair 😊👍🏻
It seems that most of the members have their dogs in twos 🧐😊 I guess that’s where the journey could take us eventually 🤷🏻♂️
