My favourite past-time

Getting a dog was the best thing I ever did. Finn brings me constant joy I just can't imagine not having him around now. Like many people I have always had a pet dog, since my first little westie, Judy - poor little thing I must have tormented her as a toddler. Almost a year ago Dara and I bought Finn. We found him on the internet advertised as a Pug cross Cavalier King Charles Spaniel however as soon as we saw him we could see there was nothing puggy about him whatsoever. We since had him tested and now know that he is a Toy Poodle cross Cavalier, aka a Cavapoo! I am starting to think that maybe I followed up with a different website by accident as I had previously been looking up Cavapoo's. Either it was my mistake or this woman was telling porkies, I will never know but I am so so so glad it happened. I think Poodle's are a wonderful breed. All Poodle crosses that I have come across have been lovely natured. Finn is no different, he is absolutely perfect to me.

If you are in a position to look after a dog and are thinking about it - don't hesitate, do it. There's so much information out there now to help you find the right breed for you. Training can be a bit challenging but it's very rewarding when you reach the milestones, much like rearing a child I imagine. Just make sure you don't get overcharged, breeders charge an absolute fortune these days. We are looking to get Finn a little girlfriend soon but all Cavapoo puppies seem to range from £450 - £1000 at the moment - insane!




Walking around Liddeston, Pembrokeshire.

Each morning I take Finn out for a long walk, Dara takes him in the evenings and we take him together on weekends usually. It's really one of my favourite things to do, it has many benefits, to name a few; you get some much needed fresh air at the start of the day before the hustle and bustle of working life commences, you get to explore, you socialise with other dog owners, your dog gets to socialise with other dogs (very important in their development), it's exercise - you can run if you like, your dog repays you with lots of love and definitely behaves more at home once they have used up some energy and had a change of scenery. Finn can get a bit loopy if he doesn't get walked - can't blame him though, I have realised that most times he plays up is when he's bored or wants attention - just like a child.
