Post by: downsized on January 13, 2013, 02:38:48 pm

Started this thread as its now well after xmas and will use it as a sort of diary of Bryns 'progress'  :roflanim:

Saturday 12/1/13

Met the river Nith and although pretty unsure at first found that it was quite fun, apart from the COLD

this week has mainly been building on previous achievements, now on 2, 30-40min walks a day which still leave him with bags of energy  ::)

Just back from our longest walk yet, headed down river for a change probably about 1.5 miles in total. I'm knackered and he's actually snoozing :excited: we even flushed a pheasant, well a hen fezzy got up about 5 yards away :D

Been, there and decided the pup just gets  fitter instead of more tired  :roflanim:

Introduced Bryn to the collies at the weekend went remarkably well, bit of bum sniffing and he was accepted into the 'pack'

Bryn, Glen & Gyp

His ears are still flying.  Bless him. Bet he enjoyed playing with them.


Are the collies yours?


Meg met dad's labs again at the weekend. She was sooooo excited that she managed to wee all over me when they came into the room.  :roflanim:  She was very respectful and calm around them, nothing like how she plays with Alf (our dog). Fascinating to watch the dynamics between them.

Post by: downsized on February 04, 2013, 07:11:09 pm

The collies are 4yr old litter mates, Glen is my son's and Gyp is mine the're exceptionally big for collies.

Glen is a pretty decent sheep dog has already sired a litter.

Gyp is so laid back he's horizontal, all he wants to do is play in the water and be everyones best friend "yo doood, I mean chasing sheep is sooooo uncool, yeah ? I mean chillax, grab a veggie treat and catch some rays maan"

And I thought 'those collies look like mine' - mine are enormous too  :thumbsup:

Bryn looks so happy all the time - I remember loving that about Sam, our springer  ;D
