lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 ... you know who you are Following instructions and getting her out as much as possible. I've also set up a ramp and some jumps in the back garden for practice and the pup's confidence is really coming on. Unfortunately, I wasn't sprogless this time around - but, being a woman, I find it easy to manage two dogs, three kids and a camera Today's frolicing: This pup is a loon - she never runs out of energy; makes me tired just watching her. Kids were hiding in the grass - there were a few near misses with them and the dogs Thankfully, the kids have leaned to freeze when I shout STOP THE DOGS ARE RUNNING Twas a slow walk home and all little people and dogs are knackered Early night for them and a couple of for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Magwitch Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 When my kids were young every weekend you could find us out in the countryside walking the dogs, baby on shoulders and daughter in pushchair. Very nice to see them enjoying the outdoors and nice dogs too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Cheers Mag I used to do the pushchair too ... imagine shoving a double push chair, containing twin babies, across a boggy field, with two dogs in tow and a 2 year old boy running wild Thankfully they're all good walkers now. I'm usually on my own with them so nobody gets carried. We have regular rest stops and fuel up with goodies along the way - works a treat They all love getting out, seeing the wildlife etc. One of the girls is a bit soppy tho and freaks out when the dogs chase things ..... I'm hoping she'll grow out of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BRY 79 Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Nice pics But a warning about letting longdogs running about together in LONG GRASS. I had a great pair of working longdogs, always let them run free when out on exercise. One day when the grass was long these 2 were running around playing like nutters (as they did for the first 10 mins or more ) Well all of a sudden i hear a big thump the 2 had run head on collision in the long grass not seeing each other. Both of them were on the floor squealing, i had to have both pts because they had bad spinal injuries. I NEVER LET ANY OF MY LONGDOGS RUN IN LONG GRASS ANYMORE Bry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Bry, that sounds like a terrible accident. One of mine was killed in a bad accident in January. But I'm a believer that dogs lives are meant to be lived, and running freely is something I wouldn't take away from them. Plus, my grey is a pacer for the pup; chasing the grey in that long grass, through sedge etc has made the pup very agile and fit. Sorry about your dogs hi lurchergrrl stop puting pic up of that pup your makeing me sick looks like you had a good day out nice old You kept her back for yourself but let her go and I'm reaping the rewards - she's a belter, got everything she needs to make a top dog. I'll let you take some glory tho; after all, you bred her! Meet me for a mooch out sometime Lee and you can see for yourself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
