It's a 'pit type' that's illegal so perhaps although in his mind it's a pit, it doesn't actually fit the stereotype and features that would mean it would be classed as a pit bull type? Or it just hasn't been picked up on yet... they rely on people informing the Police, seeing them out and...

Where are you based? I think you would be best to consult a behavourist who can actually view your dog's behaviour and advise/help you. Both the great and bad thing about this forum is that everyone has an opinion, and they're all varying :) I suggest a professional to visit you and your...

I sold a youngster once who was nothing short of an old man in slippers... met the lady in a layby halfway between us to swap him over on to her lorry and he refused to load. He had NEVER EVER had a problem loading on a 7.5 tonne, a 3.5 tonne or a trailer. I was mortified and the lady eyeballed...

We call the Jack Russell who spoils everything 'the fun sponge'!

Yep! When I go out mine gets my trainers and my slippers and puts them on the rug in my living room... he has access to about 15 pairs of shoes and always chooses the same two regardless of where I leave them. He doesn't chew them and once done he then goes and sleeps on the sofa or my bed...

I feed Skinner Hypoallergenic Duck and Rice. Have had Labradors for years who would eat anything but now have a Lab x Lurcher whose digestive system came from the Lurcher inside for sure.... Had terrible trouble with him as a puppy having loose stools, terribly flakey skin and being picky. Was...

Just to make you aware, the BHS exams are NOT accredited and are their own qualifications...! When EQL closed down they decided to go on their own path. UKCC is accredited (to First4Sport) and transferable across all sports who do them!

I've got one in an Aussie All Rounder and love it. Have used every type of fly rug, sweet itch sheet etc in the past and horse seems happiest in this. However, there are a few 'nicks' in it where it's got caught/been bitten but I think that's part and parcel of the job. I've just bought a Kool...

Their customer service is still rubbish. I had a very much second hand saddle repaired, asked for a price etc to have it done as was told it wouldn't be expensive but no ball park figure given. It was returned and followed up with a bill for £100 (to add a screw which was missing only)...

Sorry I probably didn't make it clear, we are transporting the horses ourselves over a couple of vehicles!

Hi All, I am looking at taking a group of ten horses to Holland to compete in April. I am aware the horses need a vet check before they leave and this is being booked for me down in Kent where they will stay the night before they go on the ferry. Does anybody know where I can find, or who the...

Thank you. This is a very small Force I have applied to. I am happy to do shift work, and I honestly have a long list of people who would bite my arm off to look after my dog, so I am positive I will make it work with him. My horse is retired and living away so no problem with her - just...

Thank you, I've been going through the recruitment process for about a month now it's slow going (and obviously hasn't helped with Xmas/New Year) but I am excited!

Gosh you've put a completely different perspective on that to everyone else I have spoken to (I know several people in the neighbouring force)... I'm struggling to see the positive points from your post :oops:

Sorry probably didn't make my horse situation entirely clear, she is retired and with a friend who does everything for her! It's not will I be able to continue with that horse, but is this the end for me with horses for the foreseeable future!
