I have to confess Zig wore a coat on his walk today , snow and ice and he is very low to the ground ! He wears a fleece at winter shows to keep his muscles warm . I was man trailing this morning with Zenya in a blizzard , which wasn’t forecast 😏

Pickle got stuck in a cloth tunnel once in the wet , luckily he was fine . Crazy that at 6.5 kg he was expected to push through the same as 30kg plus dogs

Those chained tyres were horrible . I was on a Crufts tram in 1988 and my Gsd kept coming up out of the down on the table . It seemed a lifetime before the judge managed to count to 5 !

I suspect I know the location you mean and I think your OH is probably right.:p

Don't discount warrant points. I only realised Ziggy had enough for a bronze (and in fact a good few towards silver)when I was checking his points for the Agilitynet Senior League. As I think I posted here at the time, we waited forever for a clear agility win to go to Grade 3, got it in the...

I'm the same, we only did 4 KC shows last year which is why it took 2 years to get to Grade 3. I only ever do 3 classes at KC shows, which is usually 2 graded and a combined. Someone who started same time as me is 2 or 3 win towards Grade 7 , but she does shows nearly every weekend...

Yep , if someone could find me a dickhead free zone that would be great .

Why should I spend money on fuel when there are walks over fields from my house , just because idiots can’t control their dogs . Interestingly , after seeing random people everywhere between Christmas and New Year, it’s a beautiful sunny but cold day today and I’ve just done my second walk and...

We lost 2 oldies (32and 37) in 2024 and 2025. We have kept tail hair and a token amount of ashes, made into a resin horse shoe for each one. I still have tack and loads of rugs, because I can't find anyone who wants them and it feels wrong to take to the tip.

I have had a dog with an auto immune disease, a Lancashire heeler. She had skin lesions and even her throat was affected so couldn't eat, we thought we were going to lose her but she responded really well to steroids and lived until she was 15. If it is an auto immune condition please don't...

It was Viszlas and labs for us , on a walk round Beeston castle where we rarely see anyone !

I would get her checked by your vet , it could be so many things . Chicken is a common allergen, is she rubbing her face at all ?

Some females can be slightly under par during season but unless you consider she is seriously unwell I wouldn't give Metacam and even then I would speak to a vet first as it isn't normal for a season. I would just treat her as normal, don't molly coddle her too much (I know lurchers can be...

It really peed me off how many Devongems were at LIHS. 😟

I have been guilty of looking at people doing so much better than me with a tinge of green, but a very wise friend once quoted me "Comparison is the thief of joy" and this is so true so I just enjoy my shows now. Zig only did 4 KC shows this year, at which he eventually won up to Grade 3...
