Flodden is now 4 months old, and still the perfect pup. he did his first trip on the moors with the horses on Sunday, a short quarter mile circuit in walk with about 100yrds in trot. He loved it. Trotted alongside Poppy my lurcher, ignored the sheep, stayed when he was told to and generally had a lovely time. Poppy and he are now getting on well, hide an seek continuously, play fighting, with bared teeth and squeaking noises, no growling whatsoever. We had a party with about 50 people here, Flodden went on the bouncy castle. charmed everyone and ended up spending the night in bed with a 12 year old who kidnapped him :) He loved every second of it. We took him with us for a week in Croyde to my inlaws holiday cottage, he went on the beach at Saunton, paddled in the sea, defended the sand castle from all comers, was carried around by my 5 year old niece. Walked on the lead for the first time and made friends with every person and dog he met. So i thought it was about time I put up some more photos

i keep waiting for the halo to fall and be replaced by a couple of horns. I am so so lucky with him. Oh and he also looks and feels like a soft toy. Most bizarre when he is bouncing through long grass. Like some demented childs toy come to life
 
what a lovely pup - i would post a pic of mine - but he has just had an extreme [ & non- breed standard] haircut & i fear that clipper purists might rise up & strike me dead:D
 
oh please do Rubysmum, I am growing his bedlington clip out. He was clipped at 8 weeks old, and it has taken another 8 weeks to get him to the state he is now :) I am seeing his breeder this weekend to see if she thinks he is good enough to show, if he is then he will be shown for one season when he is old enough, and he will have to be clipped into the standard bedlington clip. Then from then on he will be a farm dog, and a general scruff, so will have an all over cut - not the Bedlington clip
 
He's gorgeous! and SO cute! Up until a few years ago I had a bedlington and she was the most fantastic dog.
