Do any of you buy/read them? if so what one and how much?

I buy the dog papers but not the magazines :)

I have Dogs Today on subscription. I have always seen the dog papers to be showing orientated - not that I mind that - its just that I am a pet owner not a breeder or shower.

When I was showing I used to buy Dog World. When I stopped I flirted briefly with Dogs Today and Your Dog. Of those two monthly magazines, Dogs Today seems aimed at people who'd rather own cats (because dogs do nasty things like bark and chase cats), and Your Dog accepted that dogs did such nasty things but 'we try not to let it get us down'.

Dogs Today and Dogs Monthly, not eveyr month though (too poor)...

Interesting that you found dogs today like that, ive always found it to be the other way round really, often willing to take on riskier subjects (such as questioning the RSPCA, raw feeding, homeopathic vets etc).

Em

They do take on 'riskier' subjects but then the articles about them are all one-sided!! If they don't agree with something, then it's wrong - there is no for and against to let Joe Public decide for themselves. Thats the only thing that annoys me about that mag - oh, and that ghastly Emma Milne vet off the tv ;-)

I used to get dogs today, but found that topics appeared to get repeated after about 12 to 18 months, so stopped bothering to buy it.

I get 'Dogs Today', 'Your Dog', and 'Dogs Monthly'. I also get 'Dog World' paper. All of these are great.

my god lurcherlover you must be rich to beable to afford all of those ;)

I personally only buy Dog World now, although my mum buys Dogs Today and my Auntie gets Your Dog so I get to read them all 2nd/3rd hand :D

I know, i really CANT stand Emma Milne at all..... that def puts me off Dogs Today.

However on the plus side, i love Terry Doe's articles, and he also really helped me when i was very depressed, gave me his number, chatted about writing, about depression and all sorts and was basically very supportive, so Yay for him! Top Guy!

*shuts up now incase his wife thinks im stalking him*

LOL.
