Quick, switch on the telly, should be a laugh.

Well it was and it wasn't :)  Some interesting talk about the uniqueness of canine diversity but Jeremy Clarkson's pride in achieving the status of owning Labradoodle was a particularly low point I thought :rolleyes:

But Stephen Fry made the point that owners of 'Yorkiepoos' should be killed, if only for their bad taste in names. :D

Yes, and Lisa heartily agreed .  I think they were laughing at Jeremy secretly :D

:D :D :D Sorry I missed it.

Not sure that he was quite proud of it as he mentioned that Graham Norton also had one :D :D :D

thought the entimology puzzle, that no-one knows where the word 'dog' orgionated from was interesting though!
(I dont think Stephen Fry allowed for the research force that is JG, though ;) bet she knows..or can find out!)

LOL - thought that everyone knew that the Canary Islands wasn't to do with birds :D :D :D

I'm afraid I can do no better than Stephen Fry - the earliest I can find is the Old English (aka Anglo-Saxon) 'docga' (pl: docgan) meaning dog or hound.

I just assumed it came from the French word dogue but didn't go looking. My favourite etymology site has your information JG. Interesting they don't know where it came from.
