Glad you’re sticking with HPRs 😊 we work our German Longhaired Pointers and I love to see all of the breeds do their thing!

That’s hilarious, Ivy sleeps UNDER the covers when she fancies it. Apparently (according to OH’s wisdom) she can do what she likes but Erik is too big to actually sleep on the bed…. I take great pleasure in sending him photos of Erik’s balls on his pillow when he stays away for the night 😁😂

😁 He now sleeps on his own sofa in our bedroom, but is currently curled up on my bed for cuddles before bedtime 😁😂 (He’s not spoilt at all…. 👀)

I really rated our Snugglesafe heat pad for a winter puppy 😊 I made a vetbed cover for it and my boy cuddled up to it immediately on his first night at home. He slept like a log every night from then on.

We’re on DD Saturday and Sunday, also showing in the BASC ring with both the savages and Erik will do his breed classes. I’m organising DD for the GLPs this year…. Yep it’s a total pig! They’re already asking for exact numbers for handlers, dogs and cars. Luckily I’m fairly organised but things...

That looks epic!! And pretty sensible considering the % of white on your working dogs 😁

Absolutely, it’s well documented in humans also. Add in an increased risk of stroke, cognitive decline and adverse effects on diabetes -all linked to chronic oral inflammation. Any inflammation and/or gingival (gum) bleeding is a sign of gum disease (Periodontitis/gingivitis depending on its...

And I am 100% cool with that 😁❤️😍 I can’t wait to see how much fun you have with the gorgeous lad!!!

They certainly do for us! The sound carries really well and they’re so versatile which means you can have a whistle command for many more things. Our right, left and back are all on the whistle. There’s a reason they’re a shepherd’s secret weapon 😊 I think the main reason more people don’t use...

Not a lab person…. But we use Logan Shepherds whistles, much to the confusion and befuddlement of most other HPR people 😂

Our last Rottie had TPLO surgery at 9yrs old. She never needed the other side doing, and we lost her at 14 to something totally unrelated

We used the snuggle safe heat pad too- I made a cover for it out of vet bed and Erik absolutely loved snuggling up to it as a young puppy. Quiet and dry through the night from day one, with the fluffy cover I think it helped to simulate his littermates. It holds heat well, often still warm to...

Sorry but this would be my thought too- I’d want hock X-rays. I had similar issues with my mare and this was the outcome. The physio and chiro don’t have xray eyes, and especially if the horse has bilateral changes- they can look sound. I hope it’s not the case at all for you! But I’d want to...

To be fair, both of our GLPs have been the same. But we’ve definitely encouraged it as much as possible.

This is why you’ll be awesome😁. The ‘R’ is the thing you’ll need to be most dedicated in teaching, it’s the aspect that is least natural to them. The ‘H’ and the ‘P’ are inbuilt- the ‘H’ especially with the GLPs 😂 the Ferrari of the HPR world!
