Sadly people are still deliberately putting babies at risk there was a Facebook post today of a rottweiler with its paws possessively around a tiny baby with a very disturbing expression on its face. It looked like a set up with a distressed dog. Comments were 100% saying how cute it was. I was...

It was a fell a pure bred one hence my comment about a jaded view. Unfortunately experience is what makes your views on things. I agree not normal for any particular breed just happened to be a fell mind you my best friend was airlifted to hospital with head injuries after being thrown from a...

Horses are different working horses were stalled without water they were watered before being fed which is why traditionally you were advised to leave an hour after feeding before watering. It had to do with cereals swelling in the gut too. They were led out to the trough morning noon and night...

A jumping lane with big enough fences to jump rather than trot poles. They need to learn to actually take off if the jumps are too small they don't
