Very sad to hear about the closure - local to me and, well, it's just always been there!! When Dawn Dodd-Noble died, I wondered about the future of the shop and have to admit that it'll never be the same without her. Xx

I have five dogs, three Springy Springers, one crazy, gorgeous Large Munsterlander, and my adorable little rescue Springer x lab (who is SO small!! Not much bigger than OH's toy poodle - probably a result of her poor start on life). They all get along brilliantly although Molly Springer (the...

Deb1222, from what I understand, my little dog was kept crated, never walked. RSPCA weren't interested as she was no longer suffering once I homed her.

Ah, thanks - I'll look into that! Yes, he is a Tarkanya - I just adore Munsterlanders! Bryn is just the nicest natured dog you could wish for! We really wanted a "flecked" coated Munsterlander like yours but I wouldn't swap him for the world (even when he cost me £3,000 + for a very badly broken...

Thank you everyone for your replies - lots to try! Giving her toys/bones etc to occupy her is a problem because I own multiple dogs! OH has suggested standing by the hedge with a "Corrector" spray (works wonders with Molly Springer's barking!) and my daughter has suggested "blocking" her as she...

Bryn was bred by Helen Evans in Stapleford, near Cambridge. My fried has his brother, Chaos, who is HUGE (and my friend is only 4'11!) and a local farmer has another brother, Billy.

Dry Rot, that's exactly how it started! One morning, she saw a bird in the hedge and chased after it..........but she's still looking for it several weeks on!!! Like I said, once in the house, she's a normal, loving little dog.

Paint Me Proud, you have the same dogs as me! I could never be without Munsterlanders. or Springers (I have three Springers, one Munsterlander, and my new rescue Springer x lab). Munsterlanders are fabulous dogs - I just love all their weird noises! Here's Bryn....

Some of you may recall my post a couple of months ago about my poor little rescue springer x lab bitch who is almost two years old. She was literally skin and bone when she was given to me by a friend of a neighbour. She is absolutely adorable - kind and loving, gets on so well with my other...

I hate them but have just bought one for my little rescue Springer x Lab who has no recall once she picks up a scent! A friend of mine, several years ago, was looking out of her bedroom window when she witnessed a dog on an extending lead wandering into the road and being hit by a car and...

Cremedemonthe, your lurcher's "metalwork" is not dissimilar to Bryn's! Bryn had an expensive month when he broke his leg......not only did I have to pay the bill for his leg, but a week before his accident, he ran head first into one of my Springer girls, breaking off her left upper canine at...

Bryn, my Large Munsterlander broke his leg four years ago when playing ball with my daughter's fiancé. Basically, George threw the ball really high, Bryn leapt up to catch it, but landed awkwardly and his leg was literally blowing in the breeze - ugh! It was a complicated fracture beyond our...

Several years ago, I had to rescue my companion pony whose headcollar was caught on a gate - she was in a panic and I was sure she was going to break her neck! What I do now, is use a normal nylon headcollar, but OH removed one of the metal rings - the one nearest the buckle - and I threaded a...

Amymay, sorry, I somehow missed your first post! I'm unsure of the condition of the Bichon Frise, but neighbours have said that the lab is "getting thin" and that they are "working on him" to part with the dogs. Apparently, there are terriers (always fighting) living in a shed and his house is...

RSPCA were pretty useless and OH was quite firm with them but, as I said, since Rosie is now safe, they're not interested. As to the other dogs, they can't act on what we told them because it's only hearsay and suggested we get our neighbour to contact them, which of course we can't do (a)...
