He's LOVELY!!! I want one! But the current canine occupant may well complain.
What breed is he bulky?

Did you choose him from a group of pups or was he the first one you saw and thought........ It's HIM!!!!!
If there were others........ what made you choose the adorable Zak?


Edit: Hi Chim

[Stuart]

I love puppies. My two used to be puppies, but they have grown up now..

I have piccies. On the right is Oscar. Oscar is a seven year old Yorkie, who I have just woken up..

On the left is Emily. Emily is a two year old Westie who in the picture is sulking because she was laying on my shoulder sleeping, and I moved to take the photo.

I'm a bit disappointed to see that no-one thought of rehoming an animal, rather buying off a breeder....there are enough animals that need homes, rather than stuffing money into the pockets of people who see some animals purely as baby/profit making machines...

I am too. Despite the fact that Emily was bought from a breeder, we have had several dogs from other homes, we do try and get animals from sanctuaries. The only reason we got Emily from a breeder is our local sanctuary wouldn't rehouse dogs with us because we already had Oscar and one cat.

Oscar was given to us because his mate in his previous home died (old age, but he pined), and one of our other dogs was given to us because she had been (how can I put this) abused in her previous home, and had problems trusting humans because of it.

I thought it about time to update my above post!

We got our puppy at 12 weeks, he's now 5 months! ...time flies!!!

He's grown so much from those early days and boy we've learnt alot! He's fully house trained now and is a great puppy (jumps a bit mind!)

We've named him Maximus (his kennel club name is Earl Maximus, the Earl bit was named by the breeder, we choose Maximus). We think he has a powerful name for when he turns into a powerful adult stud!


Onto the pics!


This is Max, at about 3 months, with his proud dad Leo (3 years).



Max, at 4 months, during an early summer BBQ.



Max, at 5 months, eating my [now] old slipper!!!

Kennel Club names have a strict approach about them.

Earl, something to do with the breeder, family name , given name or combination.

Maximus. The whole litter would have been given M names. The first litter a KC registered breeder has are A's, then B's so this is the 13th litter you breeder has registered.

[Caspar]

KC do have a naming policy but you can choose the full title yourself.

Ususally the breeder puts their breeder name in the title and the breeder's town, for status and breeder recognition.

The name Maximus was chosen by myself without any regard to KC or breeder (my aunt) naming convention or requirement.

I actually wanted General Maximus, but apparantly it's already taken!

Our dog

(that was in 1999 - she's a bit bigger now)
is called Carstokes Vanity Fayre. The breeder was Caroline Stokes. We did not get a full choice of given names, but they had registered a collection of V names and we could pick one of the female ones.

Thats what the breeder told me at the time was the reason it had to be a V.
