Lots of great pics and stories

We have 3 JR's. Mum who is a pet, and her son and daughter. Both would rat methinks, but no rattys here, and hope it stays that way!

I came across 3 JR's while out walking with our 4 Labs, the JR's barked furiously and my labs were shocked, then I started chatting to the owner and they all just milled around not even sniffing each other, Labs are wooshies!! sill love um though

Our Mutt is a first cross blue merle pedigreed sheep dog off the Brecon beacons with a pedigreed golden retriever as mum.

He is massive , weighs nearly 30 kg and is still growing (just over a year old )
we were told he barks a lot .. that was an understatement he had been running along with his full working father on a sheep & cow farm for around three months before he came to us .

I've got his barking sorted most of the time , he'll do most things asked of him but as son as next door bung their mutt of a staffy out on it's own to crap in their garden it starts barking and if " Merle " is laid quietly in the garden with me & off his lead he replies to the challenge with gusto sometimes flinging himself at the six foot dividing fence like a cage wrestler .
If he is on the lead ( now most of the time ) he just sits and looks in the mutts direction and lays down.

I'd hate to be grabbed /bitten by Merle for he's frequently demolished one of the largest sized " Kong extreme " hard rubber chewing lumps in three or four days, yet to see him now laid on my feet you'd think butter would not melt in his mouth.

Ive got a couple of patterdale terriers mother and daughter both bushing dogs getting on a bit know 12 & 7 years old, also a couple of whippets mother and daughter rabbiting dogs work with ferrets etc. 10 & 5 years old. I like to go on long walks with my dogs and a walk is only worth doing if you have a dog with you as far as I'm concerned. I much prefer the company of my dogs to certain people.

We have 2 liver/white Springer Spaniels, Mother and son. Mother is now going on 14 and is retired, but the son is just coming up 9 and still loves a day's beating on the local shoot - despite having a touch of arthritis and an underactive thyroid gland! Will soon need to bring on a pup, but it's a lottery finding the right one!!
