We're minding our son's dog and my husband was up Killiney Hill walking him when he met a woman with a similar (but not exactly the same) dog. They got talking (that's an idea for singletons!) about our dog. She asked his age which is about 1yr8months. His temperament, which she enquired about, is very good, loves attention, wants to play nearly all the time, worse than a baby.
She then said that the 2 year mark is a critical one for this particular breed, that it can change, sometimes for the worse. She got her own dog trained at that age to prevent that. Now, I would have asked her where she got him trained, but unfortunately Mr Mul didn't, so I was wondering does anyone know of any training centres for dogs? Also, does anyone have this breed and what other things might we need to know. He's a bit of a fussy eater and doesn't eat his whole dinner in one go but might have the 2nd half the next day. He always leaves the mixer nuts for the next day.
I don't really know where to get information about the breed, hence this post.
