Our dog, Bernard, is now nearly 3 years old - he is the most intelligent dog I have known (to the point of opening doors and finding toys if asked, or making his way upstairs to his favourite rug), and very laid back. He is obviously very bright, and this makes him a lot of fun to play with (say "hello" (WO-WO), fetch, stay, sit, roll over, paw, beg, go round and round, fetch, "go there", squeak, and he has taught himself to poke us with paws if he's bored).

Highly recommended if you have a lot of space, as ours at least does not tire easily, and without enough exercise will become quite hyper. If you have the space, and dont mind the weird fascination with filthy puddles, they are outstanding.

I have a 2 year old wait for it..... rottwellier crossed with a king charles spaniel. yes, as amazing as it seems it's true. I have always longed for a rottie, one day I went into a local pet shop and saw these 14 rottie crossed with a spaniel, I thought oh my god I have to have one, plus I have never come across this breed before, even on the internet. I went to the home that had breed them, they told me it had happened by mistake... The mother was the rottweiller! Huge dog, mean looking but a huge softy. The father this little King charles spaniel. I held a male, number nine I knew I had to have him. He was adorable, playful, ...  Read the complete review

We were looking for a small dog, as we only have a small 2 bedroomed house. We liked the shih tzu but as my dad has a bichon fraise we liked the characteristics that she had, after lots of research we found a cross between the two, alot of people advised us against a cross breed due to illness etc, but we went to a proper breeder and bought a male puppy. He is a very strong and healthy little dog, who got a good medical report from the vet. I think that with cross breeds you get a good mix of both dogs and they develop their own little characteristics. The only problem with this being that when my puppy was and still is training you don't know which breed to train him ...  Read the complete review

Mongrel, mutt, cross, Heinz 57; whatever you call them, cross breeds are a rewarding dog to own. After wanting a labrador for years, my boyfriend and I went on a visit to the local dog's home. Whilst walking around I was stopped in my tracks by an enourmous black face peering out at me through the cage. His sad eyes looked at me as if begging me to take him home. He was obviously part labrador, but not a pedigree. To this day we don't know what he is crossed with, but we believe him to be half rottweiller. We had to wait a week or so before we could pick him up, but since then we have had the most amazing new addition to our family. He was house trained ...  Read the complete review

I have always wanted a dog and after my lovely white cat passed away i decided to get a dog for a change. He is called Whisky and he is very soppy and cute. He is a great pufter!! Constantly rolling on to his tummy for tickles! I have owned my beautiful labrador/collie cross for 2 and half years now and he is now come up to 4 years old. He is black alround with a white ghost on the front of his body and tiny little white socks. He has a large snout and wonderful big bold brown eyes which are irrestible for when he is beggin for food. Awww. ( see profile picture for photo). We got him from our local doggy home, diana brimblecombe. We chose him as he ...  Read the complete review
