I hope you get one Keith, if theres a particular breed that you want why not? We have always preferred Cavaliers KC spaniels and have travelled to the dark side( manchester) to get one from a particular breeder so I know how you feel! We were less specifc with our last mutt as we wanted a companion for the cav( hence the cavfan- get it!) and rehomed a westie from a website called 'preloved'! best thing we ever did! Shes adorable, clever, bright willfull and very yappy!
We once posted a little video on facebook of ours dancing to Kylie- we received some very unpleasant comments so much so we had to remove the video! We were doing no harm to the creature, she is well loved and cared for- has a very waggy tale but because there happened to be a glass of wine in shot that clearly indicated we were drunk in charge of a defensless animal! There'll always someone to have a pop! Shaun deleted them off facebook!
