    XC report and pics!

    Fiona, you're pictures are great!! Yes definate improvement from early days, but even then better than I could do! Alex always says for a good picture you need it to be sharp, correct exposure and good composition. Sharpness is his main bug bear, mine are never sharp LOL.. Then exposure, not...

    Toy Poodles?

    That is so bad, a sign of the times no doubt!! It's been a few years since I bought a catalogue, and certainly over here in NI most people were listed, it was a great way to make contact with breeders. Nothing is safe anymore!

    Toy Poodles?

    My advice would be to visit a championship dog show, and buy a catalogue. All exhibitors will be listed with telephone numbers and addresses. Visit the ringside and when judging is over, not before approach some exhibitors who in general are more than happy to give you advice and help finding...

    Magnets - FMBs vs Bioflow

    At a horse show last year I bought my hubby the FMB wrist magnets as he has terrible pain and lose of dexterity in wrist & thumbs. He put them on going to bed, muttered about prefering a t-shirt from the show instead of wrist supports but got up the next morning vertually pain free and...

    RIP Ben (1982-2008) my horse of a lifetime!!

    Fiona, I know you are heartbroken, how could you not be, in a small way we are feeling part of your pain as Ben was very much part of our lives last year. Katie is devastated, I burst into tears in work and Alex just kept saying 'oh poor Ben'. That is the impact this magnificent horse had in...

    Cheval Liberte

    We have one, a 2003 and can't really fault it. Fantastic to tow and with a pullman suspension it is an easy ride for the horses. They are lightweight and low maintenance.

    Anyone owned a Norwegian Elkhound?

    My uncle had one when I was a kid, so not exactly yesterday. He was a lovely dog, friendly but not in your face, liked human company, he wasn't aggressive. It would be hard to make a choice of owning a breed based on just one dog, which is why I like to know how others find them.

    Anyone owned a Norwegian Elkhound?

    Just being nosey as the what you think of the breed, how you find them as pets? As a child I virtually grew up with one, it was my uncle's dog but I stayed there a lot. The dog was lovely, loyal, happy, friendly dog. While we aren't thinking of getting one at the minute the thought does creep...

    Dry, flakey skin

    In Poodles it was always the old saying a good coat is Bred for, fed for & cared for, in that order. As MFH stated, feeding is very important and will show in coat & skin condition. If nothing has changed recently in your feeding habits etc a good shampoo to use is Tgel (the one for...

    Help please. Need some immediate advice on Jasper again.

    Kaolin will cause black stools, including in humans when taking pepto bismol, so I wouldn't panic if it has only started to happen with the Kaolin.. Nothing but worry with animals!!
