zico's mum Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Idle curiosity really but what breeds to you see most on your daily walks,ie the ones in your local neighbourhood - and what are the more rarer/unusual.I live in a very "doggy" area with a lot of open space so I suppose that influences it as well. Golden Retrievers Labradors Jack Russells Border Collies are the most popular but there are also at least 6 Labradoodles all under the age of 18 months. Rarer/Unusual Affenpinscher 2 Dandie Dinmonts and 2 Newfoundland puppies of 14 weeks - unrelated and with different owners. Podengo There are 5 Border Terriers as well as my two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cycas Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 (edited) We mostly get Border collies / collie x - by far the most common GSDs Labradors Jack Russells Golden retrievers with a sprinkling of springer and cocker spaniels, boxers and a few greyhounds and lurchers and lots of small terriers, only I'm not very good on small terriers so I'm not sure if they are breeds or weird mixes... Rare dogs: there are several people with Spinones, and a couple of Ridgebacks. Someone or other has a fabulous Borzoi but I have only seen it in the distance. Bizarrely, I see Spinones more often than I see staffies here, there seems to be a bit of a Spinone trend. There is only 1 staffy that I regularly meet on walks near us. He's practically a rare breed in this immediate area, though there are plenty of them in Plymouth. Oh and there's some odd wrinkly little dog that made me think of a sort of lab x dachshund with added wrinkle, that apparently is some insanely rare German breed, only I can't remember what it's called. I offended her owner by foolishly assuming she was a cute crossbreed.... Edited December 3, 2008 by cycas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico's mum Posted December 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Crossbreeds are rarely seen here - and very few of the dogs are rescues either,of those I've been nosy enough to ask I know of 4 - and 2 of those I did the homechecks for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrier Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Mainly staffies & staffy crosses. Quite a few greyhounds, lurchers, rottweilers, WHWT, border collies, JRTs. Plus a good few mongrels. Rarer, there's an extraordinarily fat spaniel (wider than it is tall ) and an absolutely stunning GWP that I quite often see.
