Hi all! Just wanted to introduce myself before I start posting! I'm from the South West of England, UK and I have an 11 month old fox red Labrador called Penny. I'm a first time dog owner but I have worked in rescue kennels for the last 7 years and have probably seen almost everything there is to see in terms of medical conditions, neglect and abuse of dogs and behavioural problems. I hope my experience can be of use to some of you, in the same way I hope to learn from your experiences too!
Re: Hello from the UK! Hey guys! Welcome again. Lilly and I are based up in Scotland, Fife to be exact, and she is a 3 and a half year old black girl. Couldn't do your job :-[ Hope you enjoy us mad folks on the forum jac
Re: Hello from the UK! Yeah I guess it is a tough job, after a while you kind of get...hardened to it - you've seen the worst that humans can do to animals, and the extraordinary resilience of those animals who bounce back and go on to live full and happy lives. That's what it's all about.
Re: Hello from the UK! Hi, welcome. I have Harley who is a 21 week old red fox lab. I live in Bristol which us also in the south west. Whereabouts are you? I expect you will be able to give a lot more advice than me.....Harley us my first ever dog Everyone on here is really friendly
Re: Hello from the UK! I'm in North Bristol, 2 mins from Aztec west, 5 mins from the mall I got her in Swindon, most of her siblings have gone to Swindon police force. I struggled to find many labs in Bristol when I was looking! Where did you get Penny?
Re: Hello from the UK! Ahh, the reason I asked is that she looks so much like my Penny! I guess it's just the colouring lol Penny came from a lady in Warmley/Siston Common.
Re: Hello from the UK! I must admit they do look very similar . Her dad is from Warmley, mum is in Swindon......might be the same sire?
Re: Hello from the UK! Oooh it's possible... Her mum and dad were both there so maybe! I'll have to go dig out her paperwork tomorrow and find her dad's name...
Re: Hello from the UK! Naya.. I found Penny's paperwork, her sire was Swinemoor Daz, looks like he was a stud dog and didn't belong to the breeder, so may not be the same as Harley's after all.
