what breed?

[Anonymous]

What breed does everyone suggest? Im not working at the minute but might be going back part time. I would love a bullmastiff but reading conflicting advice about how they are with kids. Paul has really got his heart set on another bordeaux and I would love another, but couldnt go through what we went  through with benson again  :-\  :'(

So what would make a Bordeaux any better with children that a Mastiff?
You are looking at two breeds that have there own problems health wise also both are guarding breeds.

Do you want a puppy or would you consider rescuing? Cos you know what I’d reccommend  😉

i dont think that bordeauxs are any better with kids, im asking oppinions as to what you think and explaining what i have read, and when i have read up they are both apparently great with kids, but others say bullmastiffs are only tolerent of them.
  i also know they are guarding breeds, which is why i dont want another one.

i would like a puppy ideally, i dont know of any rescues that allow to adopt with the kids  :-\
what you got in mind nat?  ;D

quite a few rescues rehome to homes with kids, I know that for sure as a coordinator for essw.

Nat wants you to take on a nice likkle staffy ;D

Leanne,

Give me an idea of who Benson was and what happened?, sorry I think you were a member on here before I joined and got pulled in  :whistle:

What was your previous username?

We would love a rescue if we could find the right dog. Round in manchester they dont rehome to familys with under 5s, and one of the rescues I am unsure of, they never have any information, they dont homecheck or assess the dog and as most of them are strays they have no background. Previous name was fizzigal.  ;D

[Izzie]

Am going to ask, and dont take offence please, as a few people recently have!

What happened with Benso if you dont mind me asking? you welcome to pm me if you prefer 🙂

Spot on Izzie  ;D

I know you have younger children though and as you say some rescues won’t go there! Sky’s from Manchester, she’s our little Manc hehe  ;D

I can’t remember what happened with Benson now Leanne  :embarrass: , was quite a while ago now wasnt it, brains gone  :confused:

I remember reading on facebook she was from manchester. Was she from the dogs home? X

No, Claire put us in touch with her, she’s helps out a Rescue called BullieSOS and Sky was still in her previous home. The couple had split so needed to find a new home so had got in touch with the Rescue! Sky left her home the day before we got her so she didn’t need to go into kennels which was a bonus! We’re really lucky as I’m in touch with her previous owner so was able to find out lots about her history  🙂

oh i think i remeber reading something about that, i saw her profile and had a look at some of her dogs. they were lovely!
  So glad she working out for you  🙂
