  met this little fellow taking his man for a walk along the promenade today, i thought it was a puppy.
  
  max is actually 8 years old, no cheating by googling, does anyone know what it is?
  
  a clue - popular in the states and germany.

  It looks to me like a Manchester Terrier Howard.
  grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.

  The top one looks quite old Howard, this is a two year old owned by my farther.
  A lot of people mistake them for miniature Dobermans.

  You've been had Howard.
  There is no such breed as a miniature Doberman mate.
  
  A lot of owners of this dog when out walking often get asked, is it a Doberman?
  owners get fed up of this and usualy say yes.........including me.

  having checked around ian, the dog is a miniature pinscher and is colloquially known as a miniature oberman, even though there is no such thing.

  I must say I do miss our dog,times we talk about geting one again,but it is very upseting when they are ill and have to be put down, Our Dog was 16years old when we had to do it in 2009 and we still talk about her now,I would take her with me when feeding the horse,s and even today when we was out at the Bay feeding them I could see her just siting there waiting for me.SMILEY:

  i can empathise there vic, when i lost my one it was like a best friend going.
  
  took me a long while to get over it, didn't have the heart to throw out her food and water bowls.
