@h2oratt, who is often on granny hatchet's thread, breeds PWD's. And hers are beautiful and don't look like that! I'm sure she can show you pics and tell you more about the breed.no wonder I haven’t looked at Portuguese water dogs! This is the picture on the kennel club website, its ugly!

I look it up and all the other pictures do not look like this
I used wisdom panel, it does have health testing and you can get other frivolous things. Most of the time its seemed more accurate then embark to me, it did have trouble differentiating between very similar dogs that are related, it said Fanta was part standard schnauzer and black Russian terrier
I have had those recommend weird doodles beforeSooo umm, I took one of those dog breed quizes for fun...and it actually came up with a good breed. Toy fox terrier. Never considered them, but they seem like a good breed for me. What the heck, is today the day of finding suitable dog breeds?! First Spot, then me
. Are they better then a whippet? my dogs ages are 2 years, 13 months and 20weeks old
Twiggy doesn’t really count because she acts like a 8 year old dog That would be great thank you!

she saw one of the screens and ran to hide. She was less nervous with Fanta there and me throwing a toy around helped! But it still took a while before she started getting confident again, shorter then last time but still long 
now it’s decided if we are going to keep her or not 
so it would be a up hill struggle to get her comfortable in a dog event environment I will needed to look at getting a Fanta “replacement” once Fanta is about 5 or 6 years old (which isn’t that old) unless I get a spare AD then I can push it back more. But that means I would have 4-5 year old Pikelet, 5-6 year old Fanta and a high energy puppy which is a lot of dogs! Not even including lazy Twiggy who I still need to do somethings with and the food cost!
Took Fanta and Pikelet to the garden centre. She stared getting nervous when we where getting close to the area
so she definitely has washed out
not sure she would be good for dog sports she is scared of people and other dogs
For a pet, she is a cute and funny dog but some of her behaviour that could be mostly puppy or could be spaniel stress both me and my mother. she isn’t exactly low energy either
my one brother has offered to take Pikelet once she is older but he doesn’t really like dogs much and I don’t think he would get along that well with her
It is a very hard decision!
I will contact her breeder if nobody in the family will end up keeping her, its still in the decision phase. I really don’t want to rehome her but logically it seems the best option
Haha! They're all great dogs. Training makes all of the difference. All the stories about labs and other retrievers being too hyper is just from people who don't have trained dogs and use them being too hyper as an excuse. Avery was perfectly calm by a year old and could be handled by a small child, my five year old brother could work her and she would behave perfectly for him or anybody. Our other dogs of course would too but Avery's mine and she's who I trained and have the most experience with. The other dogs are family dogs and the newest one is my sister's. All of our dogs are one or two years apart.

we will probably wait until she is older before deciding but I am not sure if its best to rehome as young as possible or wait until the puppy matures more?
That would definitely be the plan! But I don’t think I would want to give her to either of the people who might be able to take her
