I need to change Molly's collar to a leather one. I'm told leather is better for dogs with sinsitive skin - should have realised it before - so would like any reccommendations. I've mosied about online and there are several types and a huge range of prices. I'm not sure which is best. I think...

Reading @Boogie 's post about that beautiful girl going off to become a guide dog mum has reminded me of this . A few weeks ago I had contact with someone, not really a friend, more a friendly aquaintace. Anyway we've spoken from time to time and she told me she and her husband were thinking...

This morning we were lucky enough to meet up with 2 lovely people and 2 gorgeous dogs, namely our very own @Naya and Harley and @nayasminime and Lyla. Despite the grotty weather we had a great time, I very much enjoyed meeting them all and Molly was in her ideal world. A few photos, though as...

This is certainly the correct way to welcome a new toy into her stinky toy family

I know we've been through this time and time again but I really think I need to try something else for Molly. Despite summer edning, she's scratching big time. We're pretty sure her allergies are environmental but, in an attempt to be absolutely sure, I'm going to try again to get the...

I’m sure that @Beanwood can provide you with a wonderful video but I can give you some of my notes as I’m working through it at the moment with Pickle. These are the behaviours that you need to have before you can start getting your dog to ‘take a line’. Can you your dog stand or sit parallel...

Molly has always been a quiet dog, very biddable and basically quite calm, in other words 'easy' - yes, there is a 'however' coming. Towards the end of lockdown proper, our neighbouring farmer renewed some fencing in the field across the top of our garden, behind our sheds. Within this fence...

Has it been closed? I wanted to rant but I can't GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR RANT :punch:

I don't know if this is the right place for this but, can anyone advise me about video hosting sites? I haven't shared videos before so have no idea how/what to use.

Yesterday was my 1st time back in an office since mid March and as fate sometimes plans, Molly became very poorly. Thank goodness J was here to care for her. Without going into all the details, she collapsed with shaking hind legs and for a dreadful moment J thought she'd had a stroke. Phone...

Very early in January Molly was prescribed a low dose of steroids and some nutritional support stuff called Nutrameg because she was beginning to show signs of itchiness, her coat was looking dry and she had developed dandruff. The dandruff appeared quite suddenly. The vet decided she was...

Having just seen @Naya 's post about Harley's cut paw, I'm just wondering if anyone has an answer to the dew claw dilemma. Unfortunately, I didn't persist with the nail cutting challenge a while ago, so am now paying the price for not being able to cut Molly's claws. Just lately I've noticed...

Dontya just oooooh, for a good tummy tickle? LuvitLuvit

I've put my 'training Molly' post in the gundog section but strictly speaking it should be in the general training section as it will be a while before we actually get to gundog work :fingers: and when we do I'll set up another post. Is it possible to move the original to the ordinary training...

We had our first session yesterday. We didn't do any actual gun dog training, the trainer wanted to see what Molly was generally like and as it was very hot she decided we would be better off indoors for this mid-day session. There is a huge shed like building on the site and we were in there...

I've been training Molly the basics most of her life, you know the stuff, sit, stay, lie down, heel and various other things, as most of us do. In the past few months she has started to anticipate what I'm going to ask her to do. For example, I put her in a sit, look at her and before I can do...

Has anyone got an opinion of these or any experience of using one? If so, what has your experience been? I think it would be good for Molly to have a go at gun dog training, just for something else to learn and think about. Reading others' experiences here of proper training, actual courses...

I'm loving Molly's two toned tail. This happens every summer and come the autumn it morphs back to her usual dark chocolate. We call this her summer plumage. Anyone else have a two-toned-tail come the summer? :giggl:

Molly's twin Elkie gave birth this morning to 8 littl'uns, 2 black and 6 yellow. Obviously, being Molly's twin Elkie is a choccy. The dog was a fox red. Fascinating how the colours work out isn't it? I'm a tinzy disappointed there is no chocolate but nonetheless, its lovely to know they...

Well, we've had some of the family here today including 2 boys aged 9 and 5 (who don't have a dog of their own) and oh boy has Molly enjoyed them. They've both had a lot of licky/sniffy attention, then she started to fetch all her balls and throw toys to offer to them as encouragement to play...
