It’s emphasised that the training methods used aren’t condoned currently. It’d be funny if it weren’t for the dogs’ dominance.

Is anyone watching this on BBC4? Takes me back to my early schooldays being taught by nuns through fear. Those poor dogs. I can’t take this trauma - going to watch “Rebus” for therapy.

Currently watching BBC4’s rerun of “Training Dogs the Woodhouse Way”. Can’t believe it. Cringy.

From Mabel.x

Hoping for a gentle recovery.

I would either smile with you, buy you a bouquet of fresias or put it another way if time were (imp. subj 🎶) not so short. Many thanks, JudyN, I’ll now venture forth and obliterate more apostrophes. Yours in pedantry.

Crates aren’t evil as long as the door allows voluntary access both in and out. I’m puzzled at the frequent use of ‘lol’ - it presumes that amusement has been created. Why? Surely it’s up to the receiver to find what has been delivered as amusing?

Until I ‘discovered’ sighthounds, having found an abandoned six month old whippet on the road over twenty years ago, my favourite had been English pointers. Coming across a greyhound English pointer mix was a revelation as I’d never seen such before - I don’t get out much!

I agree, he’s lovely.

This morning at a local garden centre I saw an amazing hound. It was akin to an English pointer but taller and slimmer. The owner said it was a greyhound English pointer cross with which she runs. I was really knocked out as I’d never seen such before. Having done some research I understand that...

….or nuns. Without inspiring fear!

And from us, as you know.

Welcome from Mabel and me.

Yes, they’re lovely people and very accommodating if you need to change any parts.

When we adopted Mabel in late 2019, apart from stress problems, she was scratching like mad. Part of this could have related to anxiety but within (it seemed) hours of administering an Apoquel tablet the itching stopped. From spring to very late summer she has half a tablet daily - I think it’s...

Welcome. There are lots of likeminded lovers of sighthounds on the Forum.

I’m having problems with regard to your rationale. A ‘rescue’ situation is to alleviate a negative or otherwise pitiful life for the animal. If there are no such requirements in the U.K., as the breed doesn’t exist here, what are you hoping to achieve? How will your plan benefit a dog which...

Yes, Land’s End was tatty even in the late 80s when we lived in Probus. Thank God I never had to visit it on business. Mind you, I also avoided Newquay in summer. We prefer the Roseland peninsula - genteel for those of a certain age. Poor Mabel is cream crackered.

Bless him. Spoil him 150%. So glad that he’s in a stable loving home. We were at the Hidden Hut (Porthcurnick Beach) today and met a brindle whippet puppy. When his mum saw Mabel she went over the moon - “If he looks like yours when he’s older I’ll be so happy”. Now there’s a compliment. Mind...
