This was a serious dog out of Don that was owned by a lad in South Scotland..guy always stated it was the best dog he'd ever owned & I know for sure he'd previously owned some fair animals so that say's a lot to me bud.

What was the breeding of the dam to that dog? Looks like he’s got decent feet and coat on himΒ

This was how Bear was every single day for a month after breaking his neck then another pic of him as he is now,I never went to bed for 30 day's,I turned him over every 2 hours to prevent him getting

Here's Boots on one of the many occasions I've worked him until almost his last breath,the dog has no quit in him,Bear & Rose his pups are exactly the same,all these dog's would lay their life on

Hope everyone has had a decent season running their dogs πŸ‘πŸ» ..another one comes to an end & that's about it for my old mongrel Boots too,he's let me know the past 4 or 5 trip's out he's had enough

The dam was just 22tts mate,just a small framed thing but she could run a bit. Her name was Polly,my brother in-law owned her,she was out of a bitch called Blaze that he also owned that was out of my old dog Bulpa (also Don's grandsire) & a racing greyhound out of English/Irish Derby winner Whisper Wishes..this red dog in the pic had some good working & racing blood running through it for sure. I have some pics of Polly I'll add one or two to this when I seek em out πŸ˜ƒ

Rose had her pups yesterday,we have 8 of the little blighters,6 dog's & 2 bitches..was a stressful day for both Rose & I that's for sure haha. She was so stressed & unrestful it wasn't a pleasant watch & or experience for her,she removed all her bedding & decided to have her pups on the bare wood of her kennel bottom,not exactly what one would ideally want but that was her choice. I had to switch off the heating & heat lamp as she was so warm,at one point she even went to have her pups on the concrete floor where it was cooler..anyways after having them I got her bed cleaned out & put some new carpet in for her & put the heat lamp back on,I've not done anything more than that last night,I'll sort things out better today now that hopefully they are clean,dry & more settled. It was quite difficult to see what was what yesterday when they were all wet & with not great lighting but I think that there's 2 black bitches like Rose & 4 or 5 black and tan dog's like Boots & either 1 or 2 black dog's..just heading out now to walk the rest of the mongrels & then I'll sort Rose & the puppies.. hopefully get some decent pics of them today with one of my good camera's..have a good un folk's & all the very best.

Sadly on going into see Rose & the puppies this morning one of the two bitches had died at some point through the night. Since I started out with dog's I've only bred a few litters of pups & in those litters I'd never lost a single puppy but I've unfortunately lost two within hour's in this litter. It's quite gut wrenching to be honest,poor thing's could of had a great life in front of them,alas not & I guess it is what it is. The remaining pups all seem to be looking great & feeding fantastically well as they approach their first 24 hours of life, hopefully we have no more setbacks & these little dudes & the one dudette can go forward in life..I'll get back in there & photograph them this afternoon when I return home from exercising the remainder of the gang..Rose seems very content & happy enough with it being her first & only litter,hope she continues to tend to them as she currently is for the foreseeable future🀞🏼..thanks for the likes on the posts I appreciate them all,ta much

Good luck, and a long life to them all....πŸ™

Thanks Phil..no doubt whichever it is that remains here will outlive me but I'm sure my lads will carry the blood of these dog's forward for many year's to come..Rose looks like she's found the one she likes the best already,she will pick it up gently & lay it by her face & or neck as soon as it's been fed, favouritism at it's best Phil πŸ˜‚

One of my pups this morning,just over 2 day's old .. really happy with them,old Rose decided she would join us this morning on our wanders too,she has barely eaten anything for almost 3 day's now so hopefully she'll be back at it from today & get herself fuelled back up.Β
