All this talk of Beagles as reminded me about the time when the local hunt lost one on the moors. There must of been 20 people driving around the moors trying to spot it with no look. Anyway night time fell and the search had to stop. This guy took his coat off and put it the floor,jumped in his...
My thoughts are,leave well alone unless there's a medical reason for docking,if the tail is damaged it needs sorting out.
I was brought up with working breeds (long dogs,lurchers and terriers)and from memory I can't remember any of the terriers having there tails docked. My grandads dogs were...
I'd check up with the new laws that have come in on breeding dogs before you go ahead. I think they kicked in this October,you could end up falling fowl of the law if you sell puppies.
I had a Border Terrier who was grumpy like this. He growled at me a few times when he was on the bed. The lesson had to be learnt. He was quickly told to get down off of the bed and sent away. He had to learn it was my bed and he was the guest on it, not me. Eventually he would come and sit and...
I'm just like you, I live on top of the Pennies and I will go walking on the moors at 10:30 at night. The head torch i have sounds the same as yours. It's like having a car headlight on full beam on my head. So my routine stays the same all year round.
Your young dog sounds like he's coming along nicely. I know dogs who are years older than yours and they don't do half of the stuff yours is doing.
Just remember what's in his locker,three good working breeds. His sensors will be in overdrive when you go out. I've had terriers just about all my...
I look at it this way, both parties have to be reading off of the same page. Be it be a dog or a child,send out mixed messages...you'll get mixed up behaviour.
I'm lucky because I can take my dog to work with me,but there's many times when she can't be bothered . She's quite happy to stay at home just lounging around.
I've had a lead fail on me while out walking,but it wasn't a problem. I just turned the lead around and pulled a loop through the handle and turned it in to a slip lead. It was a solution to a problem until I got home.
I think I've been spoilt with the last two borders terriers I've had,sadly I've only got one now. I lost the dog I've been talking about in January (Smudge). I've only got Millie now but she's a class act as well. When we are out walking she ploughs ahead as they do...then... Oi...wait for me...
All this reminds me of one of my border terriers,once the ball was in his mouth it was game on. One of my friends was playing with him and trying to get the ball,of course it got to the stage where he was telling the dog to leave it,not a chance. He turned to me and said'doesn't this dog know...
Mine love playing football,they are cracking centreforwards. You should see the rest of the teams trying to get the ball off of them. They jink to the left,then jink to the right with the ball while running full speed. In the end they always end up getting sent off. Some people just cant...
