aye really bad she cant settle at all.i hope this doesnt put her off retrieving from water will have to wait and see can't blame her if she doesnt i think id be thinking twice as well

thank god wife came home from work early with a load of bandages and lint which are now on the dog with a nice new lampshade bought this morning

jsut got in from having the dog on a walk and she was black so started running her a bath. went to get her towel from downstairs on the way back she bolted past me on the stairs and jumped straight in the bath before i had put cold in she screamed like buggery. i got her out and ive put some sudacrem on her but theyre still red raw is there anything else i can do till i can get her to the vets in the morning as i dont drive and the shops are shut.

aahhh the memoriees we used to do this in the summer hols to make some extra cash 2 foot length of tubing alcathene pipe works the best as it doesnt damage the fish as much and an old bike brake cable. best to let the fish run through the hoop and get its tail be wearing a pair of waiders as well cos they have some fight in them. not that you'll be attempting this cos its not entirely legal

now that hily is a very good idea. can you see any of the game fairs allowing such a trial....i think yes. as for kc judging think they will turn there noses up..but you never know.i can see the looks on their faces if a non k.c. dog went up against and beat a ftch that would be hilarious

cheers lads it would mainly be working open ground where we have permission and possibly chasing down while ferreting.

mybe you should stick to labs as most spanials are high as a kite . can't win on here one says ftch in ped then not enough drive then your coments opposite true ive only had 6 springers and 4 cockers over the last 25 year so maybe i do know nowt i suppose all i was trying to say was that i think we hold too much in the pedigree system that is in place does a piece of paper really truly matter if the dogs doing what its meant to and doing it well I still think without any sort of selective breeding ie pedigree system then you would not have at least a basis with wich you would be able

cheers for that. i have posted on the running dog forum
