A gundog trainer pointed out that I had no engagement from Charlie - which at the time I thought a bit harsh! - and I saw the difference between...
Just use her normal food stuffed into kongs. I'm going through the 'settle down' thing with Betsy now. The places and situations that she is...
My new puppy was like this with plants in the garden. Drove me nuts. All she seemed to do was chew plants. Constantly, all the time. It was...
I know how you feel, really, I do @SteffiS - but it's not really unique to poo eating (although it might be with Ripple). Some dogs are like this...
All dogs have their big distractions. With Charlie, it's balls - any type of balls. With Betsy, it's birds and small furry animals, other dogs,...
Well, Charlie's interest in Betsy's bottom continues....but no sign she is in season. We can just attract Charlie's attention and he stops though....
I suppose, if itchiness is heritable (and I understand it is), then the loss of genetic diversity in any pedigree breed closed register means that...
I have an American friend (she is a very good, old, friend now) who 30 years ago when I first met her at university told me she was "15th...
I don't understand why you are so defensive and emotional, @camo but I can clearly see you are. If I'd read to the end of your 1000+ word post...
In England, we call them show and field. :) We couldn't really call them English and English. :D There is a big difference in general, yes....
I've just splashed out on a new vacuum that apparently specialises in dog hair. I'm hoping it helps....
Betsy has a large leather footstool to get on and off the bed, and I've given her treats for using it - she does, reliably. Doesn't stop her...
I think Charlie and Betsy are quite similar in terms of personality and character - obviously Betsy's not bonkers quite like Charlie. Betsy is...
7.5 months. I know it might be much later, but....just want to be on my toes with an entire male in the house. :rolleyes: So I'm sort of...
Big, handsome boy! :)
That is really what I thought, yes. I honestly thought Charlie would be the first to know....we'll have to see I suppose.
I just had the best walk with Betsy - it was freezing and very sunny. The woods were all covered in a clean, crispy layer of leaves with loads...
The breed standard isn't a 'typical' thing, or an 'average' thing. It's what is written down in the breed standard, and that's that. So it doesn't...
Well anyway. :rolleyes: I've decided she is not coming into season. Apart from Charlie sniffing her bottom, there are no other indications she...
That's a joke, right? There is no way Axel is a show bred Lab! :D He is field through and through by the look of him!
