What Dog you got?

No worries at all mate, we're not dog snobs either. In fact we initially looked at rescues but (understandably) they put so many restrictions in place it meant us getting a pup this time

Yes indeed, Loony Luna is my 8th rescue dog, and things have certainly changed since i got my 1st one from the RSPCA in 1987.
The rescue process certainly needed tightening up, but not to the detriment of dogs being able to get under the wing of good owners.

We lost our Malinois recently, had Malis for years but I'm 60 soon and don't want to be running a full blown lunatic again so we settled on a shepherd this time.
Meet Steve

Firstly, I'm very sorry for your loss. It's bloody awful when they leave us.

Secondly- STEVE!! Blimey he's a beaut, and I think I've already seen him on FB. I recently joined the K9 Manhunt & Scentwork 'subscriber' page on there. Small world 😁

Yep, that's my wife, very small world!!
He's a star, and he's filling a massive hole left by Quinn

He's coming on really well and growing at a rate.
 
On the 1st Feb it will be two years since I picked up Alfie as a eight week old hairy bundle since that time I’ve worn out one pair of wellies , been stuck in hedges retrieving him , fell down banks , fought off a angry badger , have walked miles with him and assisted with his inbuilt dislike to squirrels , a walk is never the main path through the parks and woods but always the deer routes and through the hedges, get a lurcher it will be fun they said they weren’t wrong, he can be a complete nobhead some days but wouldn’t have him any other way makes me smile.

We always say dogs are what you make them, some working some guard and some are just spoilt family members who are given unconditional love just like our Oki who now takes my seat on the couch next to the wife whenever I am not using it despite having two of his own beds in the lounge, he thinks its quite funny, he is really my wife's dog, and she trained him and when he was a pup he drove me out often as I am more a cat person ...but he has grown on me to such an extent that the cats get jealous, some pics of our little family.

I'm the opposite. This was my German Shepherd Angus who sadly passed away at the young age of 7. He was the best dog I ever had and his sudden death broke my heart. I've never been a cat person but since we now have a Maine Coon kitten I'm smitten with it! FB_IMG_1651862260054.webpIMG-20260502-WA0004.webp
