I just saw the CUTEST puppy! And i want one!

Hi was 3months old and Tiny..Browny gingery sort of colour with thick pointy upright ears!

I asked the owner and she said a something terrer...I thought she said Irish but she didnt and when she repeated herself i still didnt understand!

Sound familiar?

I think you'll find this is a Border terrier. My friend has one that is 8 weeks old and he is the cutest thing.

Oh I don't know now 'cos I've just found an Irish terrier!

Remember:
Dogs are for life, not just for the cute puppy stage that lasts only a couple of months.

[lubecki161]

Yes thanks for that! Im fully aware of that!

[karmgirl]

[gen2]

I'm glad you are aware of that because it is not the inpression you gave in your first sentence.

That reads as if you are desperate to get the puppy because of its cuteness - and that of course won't last.

It is much better to get a dog because you love it in its ADULT form.

Blimey didnt realise this site was so serious! i was only playing around! Im a fully grown married adult with a mortgage and kids so im able to take the 'buying a dog' route quite seriously on my own!

[lubecki161]

You know when people see a sleeping new born and turn to there friends and go all cooey and say ahh i want one!
I would just have a baby cus it was cute for the 5 seconds i saw it!

[lubecki161]

Yeah exactly!

Posting this in Pets rather than Chatterbank gives the impression you are asking a serious question, and not just going gaga over a puppy.


Gen2 has answered perfectly properly under the circumstances.

[lubecki161]

I was aking a proper question! What does my title say??

[lubecki161]

Oh god i wish id never asked!

[bigmamma]

Hi lubeck , could it have been a Cairn Terrier , or perhaps a Bedlington , or a Border Terrier , or a Patterdale Terrier , or a Norwich Terrier ? Any of those sound anything like hun ?

[Noweia]

Foxy face? I know you said terrier but how about a Pomeranian?

Thanks Bigmumma the Norwich terrier is really similar i think it might have been one of those!! x

Irish Terriers have dropped ears. The pointy upright ears make me think it was probably a Norwich Terrier. The only difference between Norfolk and Norwich is the ears - Norwich up Norfolk down. Or 'up to the city, down to the county' or even 'NorwIch prIck, NorfOlk drOp'.

Could also have been an Australian Terrier, although they are much rarer. Other Terriers with upright ears are Cairn (do come in red but mostly brindle or cream), Scottish (mostly black but also in brindle), Sky (long coated and very long in back but not in red colour), West Highland White (the clue is in the name - always white!). Other terriers with pricked ears are Bull Terriers and Miniature Bull Terriers, but these are smooth coated and egg shaped heads.

Here's the link to the Kennel Club breed standards for Terriers, have a look at the Norwich, but also look at the Norfolk, as the photos of the Norwich don't show a red one.
