Just to underline again - if people are interested, do take a look at the book. This is all about the science of movement.
I don't think so - he is an intact male, and this is definitely part of it, I think. A bitch of the same general build wouldn't have the same...
@Rosie, for the sake of the experiment/education....I've had another go at Pongo's front dots. Can you look at the diagram on the skeleton, and...
Give it a go! :)
Charlie's tail is awfully feathery too. Never mind, from some angles it looks great. :D The main thing is the quality of the wag. :)
Enjoy every minute. :) Exciting times.
Try to stick dots on him before you take the photo! Look at the print I've posted above. If you run your hands over him with the print out next to...
Maybe they are just bored into submission! :D:D:D
Just departing from performance angles for a minute.... Pongo's head and neck just say 'masculine' - perfect. And I also love Tatze's tail, and...
Tatze is a truly lovely dog - I absolutely adore her head (although that particular photo doesn't quite do justice to her lovely Labrador...

I've recently been reading about the best structure of dogs for performance (we started this discussion on the Crufts thread, but I've moved the...
The first photo is better - I'm going to start a new thread on this, using Pongo's photo.
I wouldn't say it's about breed all that much really, just play styles. Charlie wants to play chasey games, and he wants to be chased although...
Hello there Please ignore everyone who tells you to be 'leader of the pack', 'show authority' and so on. These people are misinformed and very...
Sorry to hear about the problems you are having. It's not possible to be sure about what impact this will have on your dog. Is he from working...
I have a super excitable dog too - and it can be exhausting. He is a bit better these days, but he seriously still has his moments. Him getting a...
I love it when it feels like my dog is really welcome (as opposed to just tolerated) - it makes a big difference.
Do you think Obi and Charlie have a camel communications link? :)
