We think we’ve found one! Not through the rescues as they didn’t have any and due to needing to be sure about the cat we’re going with one that is being trained currently and they can tailor the training for what we need. I am soaking up so much info and have lots of questions and lots to...

More mainstream I suppose but I really enjoyed Black Doves recently and we’re currently onto season 2 of The Diplomat and loving that - if you like things like The West Wing.

I never found one that was 100 and I tried a few inc the truck based ones. I have a 4.5t and use Google maps. I look at the route beforehand and do a terrain view to check for any restrictions. It can try and send you down narrow roads but the sat nav’s all did that too. It’s tricky if you get...

It felt like the day went really quickly (went yesterday afternoon) but I enjoyed everything that was on the programme. I have no clue about driving but it’s exciting to watch. The rest was all entertaining too but have they cut it shorter or put fewer gaps in as it just ended fast. But maybe...

PM if preferred but could you let me know where you got your doge from please? Checking out the cinnamon trust and part trained labs, thanks. And gundogs site. I’m thinking the foundational stuff in terms of training level as a min - house trained, walk on lead, recall, socialised …

Thanks all, I will check out one of the breed rescue places. I’ve found place called Vislor which looks very impressive but also very spendy £££!

Thx for the replies so far. No particular breed but I think I prefer more of a lab, retriever, Alsatian type or sometching similar. We have a big house and garden so could take a larger more active dog and I think, from research so far, that labs and golden retrievers tend to suit being with...

Hiya, can I get info and recommendations please on getting a trained dog as a family pet? OH and I are talking about getting a dog but we’ve not owned a dog for a long time. Neither of us are experienced with dog training but we do have a suitable home set up for a dog and are used to being...

Flipping miles! Last one (bertie) was a good 3 hours each way despite living in the south east where you’d think there’d be loads closer.

Gosh how awful and so upsetting for you. Colic is such a horrid horrid thing to deal with. I’m sorry xxx

I love the mindset shift of l lost Bog, to I had Bog xxx

I’ve not really had to deal with major grief before this year. I’d say it may be more up and down than you realise, and can still hit hard at odd times and just as hard as at the beginning. But less often. And I think you get to handle it better with time and feeling ready to move on.

Gosh SO1 that post got me in the feels 😢 after losing a dear friend earlier this year.

I can’t see Michen’s post but I’ve seen the replies and am incredibly sad to read that she’s lost Bog. Even though I’ve never met him and don’t know either of you, he made a huge impression on this forum. A total legend, full of character. I’m so sorry for you Michen, you loved him dearly. He...

Love this thread! Very wholesome
