We've not scoped out all the pubs here but so far the ones we've been to have all had dogs in them, which is the way it should be in my eyes

That's a good idea cartrinsparkles, I'll take my clicker next time. Need to buy a new one as I seem to have lost mine.. I agree it can't be more annoying than some of the things going on in pubs

My boyfriend and his family used to take their dogs to the dorset steam fair when he was younger and they had a boxer who always went round sneakily lapping out of drunk people's drinks when they were held too low, without them noticing He just loved beer!

Ooooo that is GUARANTEED to start me off!! Like children/babies are not human beings?? I HATED it when children were banned from pubs like they were some alien species. Well-behaved dogs, well-behaved kids and well-behaved adults - that's what pubs should be all about. Our local welcomes dogs but only tolerates humans - I like that!! There are so many amazing pubs across Britain that welcome kids and dogs, it is such a shame when they discriminate against either or both IMO.

North Norfolk is a great place for doggie pubs - of particular note is The Vernon Arms in South Repps and the Gunton Arms on the main road coming out of Cromer going towards Norwich. North Devon was another amazing place for doggie pubs - the Oxenham Arms is an amazing pub in mid Devon in a village called South Oxenham I think it was. The Watermill Inn in Cumbria allows dogs even in the restaurant - after breakfast, the waitress will bring out all the scraps of bacon etc. from the plates and left-overs for all the well-behaved dogs!

The Fountain Inn in Rowlands Castle in Hampshire is another great doggie venue.

It says you're pissheads like me and OH!!

Nothing better than a pooch and a pint!

Very cute picture

My favourite pub is normally thick with dogs, last time we went there were four dogs in there not including my friends dog. He behaved horribly and generally was a nuisance not like the ther dogs, I secretly wished she'd left him at home lol

I just looked at the Oxenham Arms, its in South Zeal near Dartmoor. Looks great so may give it a try next week whilst we are in Devon
It's about an hour from where we are staying but we could do it after a day out..... Thanks for the suggestion

We stayed there, my daughter and I, for a wedding. They are lovely people, they had a gorgeous labrador I remember. The breakfasts were AMAZING!! Lashings of coffee and gorgeous home made croissants. It wasn't cheap, but both the hotel side of things and the bar was fab. Daughter and I had dreadful hangovers, and the owner kept bringing cafetieres of coffee, croissants and freshly squeezed orange juice to sober us up before the long drive home.

It's rare I go to a pub but I dont take my dogs with me when I do. The exception to that is if I pop in one on the way back from walking them. If it's nice we sit in the pub garden, if it's not they stay in the car, I wouldnt take them inside with me.

I dont mind seeing dogs in pubs providing they are well behaved and not getting in the way. However, I cant stand dogs in pubs where people are eating. My experience in that area has not been good.
