katkin Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 We fell in love with the italian greyhounds at crufts this year- one in the discover dogs area kept trying to sneak into my bag...gorgeous little things but oh so dainty- I dont think the daft dobe would be a good companion somehow---same applies to my fave toy breed- English Toy Terrier- we went to see some pups in Manchester about 3 years ago, almost bought one but voice of reason persuaded me a pup the size of a small cat n a clumsy big daft dobe might be recipe for disaster. At least cats can jump out of the way when she is clod-hopping about the house...Oh well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBunny Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 We thought she was too until we took her to the vets and he told us she's not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoppit I'll give someone ideas for the next designer doggie... i must do a google to see what a IG/dally looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katkin Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Took me seconds to find one http://www.miniaturedalmatians.com/Images/dalmation_fullsize/Comparison%20Standard%20to%20Toy.jpg and I still love this- the designer dog kit- make your own oodle http://designerdogs.org.au/oodlemaker.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 They breed IGs to dalmatians in America to get 'mini dals' Makes me wonder how they don't break them Not just how they don't break them, but how a certain proportion of the puppies aren't just deadly to their mother by their size! I assume that the only way round this works is with the IG as the dad and the dally as the mum- although that begs another question as to who makes the stilts for the dog.

Might have been a lot more clinical than that actually- the dad to my Ailsa was so popular a stud dog that they even had frozen sperm available...
