jacksbignose 8 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Well I've eventually found a replacement pup for my 'old' pup (13 years old so technically not a pup but she's always been referred to as 'the pup' seeing as how she came in after the old dog). I wouldn't say I was getting desperate but after looking at a variety of animals that were patently misdescribed by the breeders, I was at the point of travelling down to Hancocks next weekend. However, my search bore fruit and I've picked up a blue Merle Collie/Greyhound x Collie/Greyhound/Deerhound/Greyhound (both dam & Sire proven working stock). It's a canny sleeper at the minute but I'm sure the fun and games will start when it settles in. The old bitch has done her best to just avoid it but not in a negative way as they were bedded up next to each other last night. Quote Link to post

It's only when you look at a photograph of her that you realise how easily the old 'pup' has managed to avoid ANY form of grooming! Quote Link to post
Shazza 52 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I'm sure being a scruff didn't affect her working ability I want my next dog to look like the old pup to see if i can resist the urge to keep it looking spotless (i'm a dog groomer ) Quote Link to post
