    So far so good Lola has been a tad rough once or twice and marvin has let out a little yelp but she has instantly backed away


    Marvin needs a bit if house training which is a pain in the arse tbh but to be expected

    I see his dad and mum today and pics of his grandad

    His dad has 11 cc's and his mum 14

    His grandad has a whopping 22 cc's and was the breeders most successful boy dog

    He has a great coat and a great tail that curls correctly

    Lots of work now on standing and walking correctly in the ring starts on sat

    I reckon he could do well if he has his dad and grandads gate and frame

    Bailey and JJ down at the sea front with Ashley the young autistic lad we met a couple of weeks ago when JJ was still being carried. My dogs make friends wherever they live and to see that smile makes the hard work we put into our dogs worth while.image

    my beautiful georgie boy went to sleep at 1.57pm on sunday, his kidney’s finally gave up. he’d been having treatment this past year or so and was doing quite well but it was always going to happen at some point and so it did. i couldn’t let him suffer and i was with him at elizabeth st vets. his back legs were also giving him a lot of problems and that was difficult to watch him fall over or try and drag himself about, so i would of had to do something sooner or later. i wish i hadn’t had to be the one to make that decision over his life, it’s so cruel. of course the vet said it’s the kindest thing but ultimately i had to make the call as we all do as pet owners.

    it only seems like yesterday that i brought him home from battersea dogs home and he came into my living room sniffed the sofa and cocked his leg and scent marked it. i told him off and the little b@gger went and did it again as if to say i’m boss round here and he was, that was thirteen years ago, doesn’t time you know……..

    he was such a huge huge character and i loved him to bits, it’s heartbreaking and i’m devastated and heartbroken. he was and is my beautiful beautiful boy.

    and in the blink of an eye he was gone ( how true that expression is now )

    Yes mate, (I think?) you'll never replace Georgie but a new pupster will occupy your thoughts and energy. Of course when the time is right for you. ;)
    We got JJ purely to see out my days with a Shep, if Bailey gets to 12/14 JJ will be 4 years younger and I will be almost 70 so a senior Shep will be about my limit, I don't think I want to be training a German Shepherd puppy at 70+ ;)

    Lola has been on some spectacular walks in and around York and the minister but unfortunately during the night has had to be caged in the van

    But she got 2nd place so was worth the weekend plus it was a great weekend

    York is lovely can't believe I ain't been there before

    Great stuff D and of course Lola.
    Just back from Nottingham with Bailey and JJ.
    Baileys return to the arena for the first time in 12 months saw him pick up a 1st and 2nd in the Open and the Standard coat classes. All this despite putting his handler on her backside when asked to gait him, fortunately when he bolted she sat down rather than be pulled over ,the last thing we needed to see someone getting hurt but no damage was done. Little JJ even managed a 3rd place in the just for fun puppy walk. A great weekend with my dogs. :)
