Battle of the Giants

Finally, Honey has met a dog she can look straight into the eyes of without suffering neck strain - and she's loving every minute of it!
Tilly is here for several weeks and is more than a match for my little dog. There's never any problems created between the two, just alot of mad dashes and even madder glances at each other !

"At last ...... I'm taller than another dog !!! "

The lovely dry weather somewhat disguises the real nip that's in the air when I'm out on the tops. However, Paul's dog Jaffa and young Jaxson, who is boarding with me, seem completely unaware of it.

Jaffa (L) and Jaxson (R)

I have a first at the moment - namely Theo is the first German Shepherd who has boarded with me.
At just 6 months old, he's a large dog ..... even more so if you're a Chihuahua. However, Theo's curiosity as to "what's this funny little thing ?" has been met with a rather cold reception by the Diva ! A few snaps here and a few snaps there have told him to back off, before she struts away, tail in the air !
Thank goodness Honey is a dog and not a human !

Day One and Theo decides to rest by the bosses' chair !

The Italian Connection - Harry the Spinone

Let me introduce you to Harry, an Italian Spinone. Harry arrived yesterday for a day's "try out", prior to any long term boarding. He's as gentle as he looks and those eyes .... ! Janet

"Come on Chief, smile !!"

"Come on Chief, smile !!" That look from 9 mth old Chief tells me I'm lucky to take even one photograph of him ! Chief is just one dog who has stayed with me since the New Year, either for boarding or residential training. Nearly all can be seen on my Cumbria Dog Training Facebook page, and with a husband who is more than cabaple Peanut enjoys the fells. Meet Nala, a beautiful Portuguese Water Dog, who, at 7 mths old is still displaying alot of puppy traits. She's staying for a 24 hr try out and has fitted in really well. I'm pleased to be able to say that Peanut is staying with me again. This young Cocker is such a lovely girl who makes herself right at home and gets on so well with everyone, both people and dogs. And finally, time for my own girls !

The Czechoslovakian Wolfdog

Over the years I've worked with most breeds, from Akitas and Rottweilers through to Chihuahuas and Yorkshire Terriers. Now I can mention another breed - a Czechslovakian Wolfdog. Meet Kyra, who I'm just beginning to train. As these are early days, the long line is still required to prevent her running off but this is only for short term use until I know with complete confidence that she will respond to the recall. Talking with Kyra's owner Not a common sight in the English Countryside On a different note, Paul was contacted at the start of the week by the Farmers Guardian, asking to use his very powerful photograph from one of my sheep chasing lessons. It features on the "Sheep" page on my website and previously featured in an article on me last year. The dog featured is a Presa Canario x Rottweiler. And I can honestly say that no sheep was bitten or harmed. An all too common sight caused by thoughtless owners But to finish off, let me introduce y...
