    JR Pup should I or shouldnt I buy? Advice pls

    Know of 3 JRT currently. Depends very much on the breeding for general traits, but of course they are all individuals. JRT 1 - more the designer miniature type. Smooth coated. Lovely little thing, very much a pet. JRT 2 - another miniature. From a less than reputable breeder. Bit odd...

    Worst dog breeds for new pet owners

    Just looked through that list and found it interesting. All dogs are individuals. We are now onto our third rottie (she's 7) and now have a rescue irish wolfhound x (7 months). The rottie is unlike any of the other rotties (or dog) we have had before. We have brought them all up in the...

    Recommend me a large breed puppy food...

    Hey I posted last week regarding a wolfhound cross pup. We have brought her home. The vet has aged her at 5-6 months. She is very leggy and tbh I think she's a little too skinny, can feel her spine, hips, shoulders, ribs etc. she was found as a stray, and we have guessed at a wolfhound cross...

    Irish wolfhound x info needed

    So visited the rescue centre today and fell in love with a young wolfhound cross (or so they believe). We were looking for a medium-large dog. She is around knee height at present still with baby teeth and a smooth coat (bar a wirey face). A very sweet dog. I've guessed at her been around...

    Leaving a saddle on a horse loose in stable.

    Yup. We used to start tacking the horses up 30 mins before lessons started. Often just the 2 of us to get around 10-16 horses and ponies ready (very large school yard with 2 arenas of lessons on the go at once). If an hour off between lessons they used to get left in stables with girth loosened...

    How do you know its time to say goodbye

    OP my own oldie has slowed down significantly this year. He's in his 20s and has been diagnosed with cushings some months ago. Ive noticed a huge difference between this year and last year. He's still a cheeky chappy and full of beans! But we have slowed down his physical work due to his...

    Cob - looking old :(

    Mr cob is a senior citizen, he's in his 20s and has been diagnosed with cushings over the winter. Out in the field today was the first time I've looked at him and thought "you look old". It brought a tear to my eye (I'm soft) and I only hope I can do the very best for him, it has now...
