We have just bought our new house and it has a lovely big garden absolutely teaming with rabbits. The girls are in heaven.

Unfortunately the day we completed on the house it was tipping it down so the first pics of the girls enjoying themselves are awful, but I quite like this one

Enjoying the new sniffs

I do have one problem though, two sides of the garden have a very high hedge so are safe, one have a brick wall, but the other is only stock netting which Tess thinks is too low to jump so she has to show off by jumping the rather high gate. Josie thinks both these options are too easy so she goes under the gate through the tiny gap that we have now filled with another plank of wood. We are steadily adding new strands of wire to make it too high for the monster to jump but I don't know how high it is going to have to get.

With out any strands of barbed wire

Showing off

Wow!

I know Leia could easily clear our fence too - she jumps the height of it on the spot but thankfully doesn't propell herself forward at the same time :b

:luck: in your new home I hope you all have many happy years there together.

Congratulations on your house move Olivia, that looks a very nice garden. :thumbsup:

Gosh I have a gate (farm size 5 Bar) at the back of my house (w00t) (w00t) my dogs have never attempted to jump it - YET and I hope never. (w00t)

Congratulations on your new home.

Fantastic shots of them. Wow, what a jumper, clearing that gate is an awesome shot. :thumbsup:

Good luck with the fence building.

We had to add a new top 'rail' to our wooden gate when Milly-lab arrived and we had to add a new 'rail' at the bottom when the iggies arrived! :lol:

o So far the whippets have not tried to escape although Pheonix made a wee track for himself through the hedge from the dog garden into the flower garden so that he could poo among the flowers :angry: but we soon blocked that off

We have a five-foot stock fence where the dog garden meets the field and they've never attempted to jump it although The Supermodel started the Great Escape (a tunnel!) when she was a puppy...

The yard looks great.

The jumping pix are wonderful. what a terrible little show-off. Just love the 3rd photo - the ears.... Wish my horses could jump as well.

[whippetsrus]

Great pictures. Will there be anything that she can't jump? Enjoy your new house.

Glad your move went well :thumbsup: - lucky girls having such a huge garden - and that picture of Tess jumping the gate is absolutely amazing!!! (w00t)

Hope you get it all dog-proofed without too much hassle :luck: :luck:

(w00t) Fantastic pic of your little girl jumping the gate!! we have a five bar farm gate and post and rail fencing round the front of our house, mine havnt either attempted to go over or through until yesterday a certain little whippy (Tegan) decided to chase our own cat, and ran through the fence!! (w00t)

Good luck in your new home :luck:

 

[Evie]

Wow, that's a wonderful pic of clearing the gate!! (w00t)

Though I think perhaps that dog can fly, rather than jump!!!

Good luck in your new home, it looks fab.

:luck:

(w00t) What a little madam

The camera work is fantastic Olivia, those shots are amazing :cheers:

The girls must be loving the new garden. Maybe you could set up an agility course to keep the little blue stuntwoman occupied :- "

I wish you luck in trying to keep her in :luck:
