We actually have 2. One is upright and the other is a cylinder one. I prefer the cylinder one which is great. Certainly live up to their name and the after service is excellent too. No quibble 5 year guarantee is a definite bonus. I don't personally like the new ball ones. Just a pity they are no longer made in the UK ~ another victim of our sad decline I'm afraid.Hope you are keeping well and having a great summer.

Sadly after four months we have had to part with Snoop as he just never settled with the cats. Two seemed to accept him OK although somewhat reluctantly. Problem was he would just chase them at every opportunity. It wasn't fair to him or the cats so we have re-homed him in the country where he has a new best friend of a 7 year old Jack Russel called Tag but importantly there are no cats!! The other challenge we found was that he was too heavy and strong for my wife.
We have now adopted a very cute little Coton de Tulear. She's 3 years old and absolutely adorable. My wife loves her to bits. The cats siss a little still but she just ignores them. This little dog certainly seems to tick all the boxes and hopefully will settle in for a long and happy life with us. The house seemed so empty without a dog.

My step daughter has got a Coton de Tulear just looks like yours. very friendly, a bit thick but so are a lot of people. he tried to shag the cat so he was castrated, He just licks the cat now and he also licks the rabbits face as well.
He is funny.
Cheers
Brian.

Ouch!!!
How wrong can you be????? This little f***er has bitten me 3 times in last 24 hours. It is constantly guarding my wife and growls and snaps if anyone goes anywhere near her. Needless to say it is going back to where it came from today. Back to the drawing board on this one methinks.

Don't be so hasty about this one Tony. Many years ago we had similar situation with a dog who took to my mother at the expense of all others. But after a few months it settled down. Similar situation to yours, came from a home and no idea how it had been treated earlier in life.
