I dont think this is a stupid thread because you're after advice so anyone knocking this or having a stab just shut up and leave it out ok, if you think its stupid just keep it to yourself and dont bother adding your comments.
Wicked.

Given the manner in which stinky has asked this question, and the history of timewasting posts he has made i think maybe you should realise why some people are having a 'stab'.
The question is on the surface fairly reasonable, however the forum is about training and fitness and just where the importance of Stinky being allowed a dog after training comes into his plans to join the Royal Marines im not quite sure. But actually read the posts, he has no idea about dogs, especially the breed he originally mentioned, and some of the comments he has made are pretty rediculous.
If he had researched a little bit about dogs, and found out some basic information BEFORE posting then he would never have had to make the post in the first place. But being stinky and probably just wanting to make the post for the hell of it, he has come on and suggested a breed of dog that it appears he would not even be allowed to buy let alone look after, and seems only to want the dog to go 'running with' and he isnt even a 'dog lover'.
He could have worked out with a bit of commen sense and work all the things that he has now been told, and would not have had to post a topic about buying a dog.
Its my guess, and i would imagine a fair few other's guess that really stinky was most likely bored and wanted to post something,anything, lets not forget his posting about the bug crawling into his ear (thats a point stinky, you already have a pet).
Even if he did have a genuine interest in having a dog, im sure he has more pressing matters with regards to joining the Royal Marines, such as passing the PRMC and RT.
It may not have been such a stupid post had stinky really thought everything through before asking, something he could have done very easliy, BUT he didnt as we can clearly see from the resulting thread.
dwarfy,
anyway, hows the training going Stinky? Have you stopped drinking lucozade before running?
