The reason I wanted him rehome is that he gets plenty of work and a good owner, I know I will struggle to get enough work for 2,as rabbits aren't as plentiful as they once were, my intentions of rehoming kevlar(the dog pup) was to ensure he'd get the work and lifestyle he was bred for, but it's a done deal now, he's on my team now, he won't be getting exhausted from hunting anytime soon I reckon lol Fair enough I understand the reasons but I genuinely think the dog would rather a life of little bunnies and hunting but with you than plentiful hunting but the huge psychological upheaval of moving homes etc. Right decision and good luck with him. 2 Quote Link to post

Dinosaurs 2,007 Posted September 18, 2020 Report Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hope all works out bud. What a great name for a dog “Kevlar”. Atb Quote Link to post
Neal 1,784 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Is is an abbreviation for Kevin Larkin? Jigsaw strikes me as the kind of person who'd name his dog after a political correspondent for the BBC. 1 1 Quote Link to post
jigsaw 11,809 Posted September 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 Kevlar came about when at 3 weeks old I dropped a metal cooking pot and with the clang of the metal hitting the floor, all the pups scattered in terror, but he just squatted down, I got the idea he was bulletproof.... Hence Kevlar.... Or was it 2 of my kids are kevin and Laura..... Nah... It was the 1st one 3 Quote Link to post

Mine are a bit boring compared to that: Noggin had a massive head like a bucket compared to the rest of the pups in the litter (though his head is now smaller than Ned's who was normal build as a pup). And Ned was named after my daughter Dilly! We'd not had a girl in the family in 36 years so we were expecting another boy and had decided on Ned. When we found out we had a daughter we decided to keep the name for a future kelpie...though everybody assumes he's named after Ned Kelly. Apparently it also stands for Non Educated Delinquent. 1 Quote Link to post
