So it could be a DJN? Going to have to look for this plate....

Well, I only have the plating cert to look at for now and it is written DJN. but it isn't a 10 tonne lorry, so guess it may be written wrong. Thanks v much, 5.4 makes so much more sense! Going to check plate when I next visit the lorry. Thanks!!!!

Definitely personal choice I think... I intended to keep riding when I first found out I was pregnant. I even (stupidly) went hunting at about 6 weeks pregnant. Then I actually had a miscarriage at 9 weeks (fell off the day before, having not fallen for years). I know the miscarriage wasn't...

Hello!! It's a Bedford TL DJN according to the plating certificate. I've tried googling to see what comes up, but nothing very useful!

Haven't posted on here for a very long time... but I was widget a long time ago <gets faraway look> Anyway - am trying to work out what the engine size of my old bedford TL horse box is - i have looked on the registration certificate and it says 54 cc - which is surely insane?! Anyone...

Well - that is Cesar's favourite technique - is called an Alpha Roll: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_roll I do agree with you tho - there are extreme cases where extreme measure need to be taken - otherwise the dog would be PTS. However - Cesar is a tv showman... and there are other...

I know you've already decided... but I used Jody (think she is also on HHO sometimes) for my sisters horses: http://www.dogpastelportraits.co.uk/ I also have one from PapaFrita - of my black lab - that pic is on her website. They are both fab.

[ QUOTE ] Maybe off topic, but I see plenty of people on here using slip leads, which have exactly the same action as a choke chain....in fact, they run through the ring faster than a choke chain. Gina, I wouldn't pay that either. OH, on the other hand....:p [/ QUOTE ] I have to use a slip...
