    Peculiar doggy behaviour

    Im sure there will be people on here that know what this might be about but it seems very strange to me... I have a beautiful 10 month old springer and my sister has a 4yo border terrier, they see each other quite frequently and this bizarre behaviour is starting to become a real problem due...

    Ideal H&C (Highland and Cob) I worked in a saddlery for 8 years and took me 6 to find a second hand one to fit my girl and that was it... like a glove. I have since tried it on 3 other welshys (friends Horses) and they all want my saddle!

    Riding Hats-Which one to buy??
