Labradors come and go and come again

Hugo and Max, my Black Lab guests have completed their training and returned home to Bedfordshire.
Replacing them are Fudge and Bailey, two Yellow Labradors. Both are now off the long line in my field although theres still plenty of training to go before theyre good enough to go home. But in the meantime, Bailey is enjoying her freedom !

Bailey enjoys being off the longline

My other residential training guest who currently staying with me is Phoebe. Like the Labs, shes also a young dog.
At the moment Phoebe is always on the lead or long line as her desire to chase after something moving far away in the distance is too great. But given time Ill sort that problem out.
Yet again Im fortunate to have dogs staying with me who are really enjoyable to train, who want to please and in truth are full of love and affection.

But no day is complete without a Chow Chow. This lovely young girl is only 10 months old and came to my home for her first lesson ..... though was very unsure about Paul and his camera !

Today I have had the good fortune to work with one of the top five rarest dog breeds in the world - a Stabyhoun, from the from Friesland area of Holland. What a wonderful dog.

This what aStabyhoun looks like :)

Im watching you !!!.................. My 20 month old Working Clumber Spaniel, Annie.


Following recent illnesses and mishaps with our own dogs, the comment was made that Honey was the "best of the lot".
Not anymore !
Somehow on a walk recently, she broke her back right leg. Due to her size nothing can be done, other than being fed Metacam morning, noon and night. Suffice to say shes now receiving even more attention than she normally gets and is being passed from lap to lap. But as the photograph shows, NOTHING comes between Honey and her food !

Leg ? What leg ? My bowl is nearly empty !
