Thought you would all be intelligent enough to stay on the original topic. I hold my hands up & admit I made a lighthearted comment re. MilisCer. But I never expected that to that to swamp the original topic. And I can only believe that MiLisCer has a wealth of canine knowledge & is...

Ok here we go..... Both will leave you broke eventually, but babies leave you with stretchmarks too lol But riding can help tone you up again! If you keep with the horses & have a baby, you will always have an excuse to escape for some time to your self! lol Hay nets were invented to put...

I am so glad that I went ahead & posted this topic. It just goes to show there are differences between pets & working dogs of the same breed. I only condone docking of working animals. Anyone who gets a splinter knows how painful it can become if not removed. If left in it quickly...

Anyone know what height it was won at please?

I had a rough x border collie. no matter how much we groomed him the thicker it got & became matted like cotten wool close to his skin. we had him clipped through the summer & he was much happier. though he did look funny for 1st couple of days, but rather that than him be uncomfortable...

So sorry to here about the damage to your puppys tail . very suuprised at a responsible breeder allowing the sale of such a pup without any mention of a prob Was the tail like that when you collected your pup? If so the owners should def have told you. I would def contact them letting them know...
