I have a wonderful little rescue dog who is a cavalier x dachshund! I wouldn’t actively buy such a crossbreed (I only rescue) but she is legit the best dog we have ever had! She’s 10yo now, no heart murmur yet, no back problems (yet!), can run for miles and is the most loving lapdog...

He’s happy enough ridden on a loosish rein but as soon as you try to pick up a contact he gets all mardy and fidgety in his mouth, can self carry in an outline once warmed up well but any kind of contact results in a giraffe impression which is making lateral work difficult, doesn’t...

Eek, didn’t even know that exists, i’m Not sure he needs a twist just yet, I thinks it more of a comfort issue?

Hi all I have recently started exercising a 14yo 16hh RID x gelding, we have been getting on pretty well, working at elementary desssage at home but I am just not happy that his bit suits him and would love some suggestions?! So he arrived in a French link eggbut, after a really long warm...

I used to have a great book on horse colour genetics that started off really easy, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Us-Horse-Colour-Explained-Perspective/dp/1570761620/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1421828598&sr=8-3&keywords=Horse+colour+explained I suppose it's useful to know about inheritance when...

Hope someone can help, I'm more of a dog/horse person and my cats are an enigma to me! I have a boy and a girl, both 4yo (litter mates), neutered etc. the girl is a complete tiger, she's always been a bit of a hunter which was a bit annoying but since we moved house she has gone crazy and is...

Omg, he is mahoosive! And what happened to Mole, that looks really nasty poor boy :(

Ooh, so she does, she's got the black ends on her ears! Got the cavalier lozenge though, def JR stature though!

Thank you! Haven't met her yet, she's at my mil's but had a fantastic first night in the kitchen and my oh is in love with her, she's only 2, probably advertised as a jackalier or some other stupid designer name as a pup, she is very much enjoying her new country walks. Can't wait to meet her!!!

So so sorry for your loss but what a great final gift we can give to our animals, thinking of your parents too x

ETA: The cav in the corner is NOT mine ;) and my OH took the pic with the misplaced harness!

After much trawling found my new dog, this is Betty! Can't beat a good old fashioned mongrel... No points for guessing the breeds, I think it's fairly obvious :)

Thanks guys, it was a horrible experience and it's taken me this long to even think about another one :( We are moving back down south very shortly so this place is in England, I am very cautious about naming and shaming because of my profession but will be sharing my thoughts with the RSPCA...

I imagine so, she was very open about how it's her business and of course you can pay through PayPal or by credit card through the beautifully designed website, will certainly be letting the RSPCA know of my disapproval. About time we had some Swedish style dog breeding regulations in this...
