While we are enjoying quizzes, here's one for the dog lovers. I picked this quiz up in Stranraer last year, it was being sold in aid of a local animal charity, and there was a prize to be won. I am not offering a prize but will make a donation to the charity for using their quiz. The answers are all breeds of dog.
1. A bit pugnacious or even repugnant
2. Might benefit from a throat pastille
3. Can be spotted almost anywhere
4. Performs in a square ring and has seconds
5. Made by Cadbury in Canada?
6. Sounds like a lover of all sorts of sweets
7. A German. Nickname suggests a Frankfurter
8. Pass a holy man
9. Herder with a goatee?
10. Found inside colossal UK installation
11. Advertises not quite de-luxe product well known to painters
12. Large graceful Russian starts by needing deodorant
13. Japanese equipment inside Automobile Association
14. Communist that puts in type or fixes broken bones
15. Clue is an indicator
16. Be agile when I depart
17. Father has medication that's not off
18. Starts pouncing on old dead leaves excitedly
19. Scandinavian in redesigned tea-garden
20. Mixed beans? Jim's lost 1,000
21. This large one makes mothers squabble
22. Might detect one of the ABO group
23. After exercise monarch fails to see correctly
24. Mrs Cameron and Mr Miliband share part of a plaything
25. Does this knave steal cattle? Sounds like it

There was another clue to which I never learned the answer - I will add it in the hope that someone will tell me what it is !! -
27. Seen running back in big rocky cavern

This is a good one too 🙂 (Sorry, not been on for a while...)
I've got four so far, but I am going to enlist the help of a doggy colleague, who's stuck in bed with the lurgy and needs something to cheer him up...

Thanks for those.
Out of 17 answers I got 16.5 because for No.9 I put bearded shepherd instead of bearded collie!
Off to look at the ones I didn't get and say ...'Aw, of course it is!!'
