Yayy a showing thread!!!
I used to show my American Cockers but my last Yank is 9 and a half and blind, bless him. He was an exceptionally great dog in his hey day but I now have a black and white English Cocker to show. He's just turned 6 months and has his first show on Sunday :)
My Harlequin...
Yes, I think I maybe worded my own post wrong about horse ownership being easier than some people make it.
In "some" (and I realise this doesn't apply to all) cases people could cut down on certain things in order to afford the horse/s such as does horse really need shoes? Could it just have...
So sad that someone decides to end their life BUT I think it's incredible that Caroline was able to make the choice for herself. A lot of people are not able to do so and are forced to live a life they don't want. I hope her family and friends are able to find peace with the choice she made, it...

I'm a big supporter of the ban. There is absolutely no need whatsoever for a whole pack of dogs and riders to chase down one innocent animal. That is not, in any way shape or form "sporting". People want to vilify foxes but in the village I live in we have had several large areas wasted by new...
Just throwing it out there...could she be on the Autism spectrum?? People with Autism often "mirror" behaviour because they don't have the same social abilities that neurotypical people have. It can feel very intense and uncomfortable to a NT person to have such attention.

There is a dedicated page on FB to Working Clumbers, they do make quite effective workers. I think they are more slow and steady with stamina as opposed to speed and agility. They will go through the densest and thickest of ground cover like little tanks by all accounts :)
The health issues have been my biggest concern with them so I've looked carefully at the litters available. I believe them to be a bit like marmite from a working perspective? I know there are lots of people who love them and many more who don't lol. Their lack of athletic ability is partly what...
