Ripple spat another tooth out at training classes last week, I used that as an excuse for his awful behaviour there :). He's not quite 7 months...
We didn't have any of Raisin's (our last lab) lumps investigated as they didn't give him any problems. Although he died relatively young - only 9...
Well, I've seen everything now!
Our Ripple has a 'ripple' of wavy fur down his spine, he is from show stock and we met the father, mother and older half siblings, and I don't...
As far as I can see it would make sense to buy a back and front fastening as then I would have an option, however I can't find a UK stockist for...
JulieT, sorry I didn't make myself clear - Ripple jerks his neck on his collar, not when wearing the harness - he very rarely wears that as I have...
Going to give this a lot of thought as I can see everyone's point of view. JulieT I have a back fastening harness made by the RAC which is dual...
Thank you, I'll look at that and look for the thread.
I've been thinking about buying a front fastening harness for Ripple but I do have some reservations. Firstly we are having quite a lot of...

Really useful advice! I'm starting to struggle with lifting Ripple in the car, especially as I've had a prolapsed disc in the past. I love this...
Mollly - it was reading some of your posts on previous threads that helped me put things into perspective yesterday. I'm not a naturally calm...
Well done Ella! And of course you as well Emily :).
Pilatelover thank you, we live in a very small village and although I do my afternoon walks over a larger area my early morning walks are always...
I think you're right about ending the walk sooner, but again not always easy when you have to walk back to the car. I feel I handled it quite...
I'm hoping that today's behaviour was just another adolescent blip - after a really enjoyable morning walk and lots of good behaviour this morning...
Oh no, how terrible, my heart goes out to Marie.
Ripple is just over 6 months and is certainly starting to show signs of adolescence. Unfortunately his has manifested itself in forgetting all...
I use peanut butter to block the end of the Kong, I believe there is a list somewhere of the brands containing xylitol but I always check the...
That explains it all :)
