A lot of my locals allow dogs - although some are more welcoming than
others. My personal favourites are 'The Nags Head' at Edale (the start of
the Pennine way) where they have a big fire, stone floors and big enough ash
trays to feed my JRTs a little best bitter, and 'The Packhorse' at Little
Longstone where dogs are even welcome to join in on Wednesdays' folk nights.
Both places serve food and your dog can stay with you while you eat.
(Incidentally, both pubs are in Derbyshire.)
Love

We got 'Affenpinscher puppied' in our local last night.
Denise brought the two 13week old female pups that she has kept from her
last litter down for socialisation. (Our local is quiet and they were down
early).
They were too cute ~ little button noses and fat warm bellies,face
shnufflings... tiny little paws and tails
Must repeat 100 time: I do not want an affenpinscher puppy ;-)

See my dog Stone ~ July 5th on the birthday calendar.
The aad group web site: http://www.ourdogs.chilly-hippo.co.uk
(In the UK 'lugs' or 'lug 'oles' is slang for ears ~ and no dog has a finer
set than my Stone!)
1.. How many of the dogs in the pedigree have you actually seen & put your
hands on? Tell me everything you know about the sire and dam. (You want to
know more than just what can be found on the pedigree.)
2.. What is the incidence of dysplasia, allergies, thyroid problems,
epilepsy, etc., in the pedigree?
3.. Were their any temperament problems in the ancestry of the puppies?
4.. What are the sire's/dam's worst/best trait/fault?
5.. How much time do you spend on planning the litter & rearing the pups?
6.. Do you temperament test? What test do you use? How do you evaluate?
(Ask to see the results. Have the breeder explain them. If they can't, what
good is the test to them?)
7.. Are the sire & dam OFA Certified? vWD tested? Do you have evidence?
What about farther back in the pedigree? (Learn about OFA and vWD results.
The answer "Oh, they're okay." is *not* good enough.)
8.. Do you offer a Health/Temperment guarantee on your puppies? What is
it? If I have a problem, will I have to return my puppy? (This is
emotionally traumatic, though with some health problems, it is necessary.
You want to find a breeder who is not just committed to their litter, but to
the breed as a whole.)
9.. Are you able & willing to answer my questions for the life of the dog?
10.. Do you require a spay/neuter agreement on companion-quality puppies?
(This is Good.)
11.. Are you knowledgeable about GSDs? Can you/will you answer my special
medical, food & training questions? Will you tell me when you don't know a
answer? Do you have access to resources when the questions stretch beyond
your knowledge?
12.. What are the most important things you are striving for in your
breeding program. (Temperament should be first along with health!) Why did
you breed these particular dogs?)
13.. Will you supply at least a 4 generation pedigree, the puppy's health
record & instructions on how to properly take care of my new dog?
14.. What titles (conformation &/or working) are in the pedigree? How far
back? How many dogs? What titles/degrees are you currently working on?
15.. May I see and visit with both parents?
16.. What is your philosophy on breeding in general and with respect to
German Shepherds? Why did you breed this pair of dogs in particular? How did
they fit into this philosophy?
17.. What clubs are you active in?
18.. What references can you give me of previous purchasers?
Diana
Yes, they are well bred to an extremely conscientious breeder.

If they're well trained, they'd be fine.
I think pubs are one of the greatest ways of socialising young adult dogs,
training them to calm down and ignore distractions, politely accept a
littole fussing and you can enjoy each others company.
Stone comes out with us most evenings and is well aware that the 'whole
world' thinks she's beautiful.
...not to mention she can remind us of the way home after one too many ;-)

My neighbour says he gets a lot more female attention (from women!) when he
goes to the pub with his dog.
