I find the whole dog thing so strange ... when we were looking for dogs we knew we wanted either a border terrier or a pointer (total opposite I know). Weâve always had borders and theyâre great wee dogs for country living and at the time we didnât have the space for a pointer so a border it was. It seems strange to me that dogs become âfashionableâ remember the early 2000s when everyone wanted chihuahuas and then it was pugs, now of course itâs mini daxs - I absolutely adore any and all dogs and it sickens me that anyone would buy them to be âtrendyâ.
when we got poppy all I heard was âa border terrier, how random are they cute?â. As a matter of a fact they are, but more than that she totally benefits from our outdoor lifestyle and love for climbing mountains. Sheâs not a fashion accessory, she would die if I went near her with a harness never mind a jumper - Iâve never wanted her to be perfect or insta worthy. Lydia seems so obsessed with her image and if she wants to do up her house, ruin her garden and spend obscene cash on bags .. then so be it. But to flaunt your âwealthâ via a living breathing innocent wee animal .. I just cannot.
sorry rant over but animals are not to be messed with. Anyone else on here a border terrier owner?
