    Neil C: Deana was most definitely a wonderful example of a Bull Terrier. She looked to be a great character and a lot of fun to live with. Big personalities indeed.

    Thanks, but they`d be a lot better if i had a decent camera and knew how to use it!
    I`m just a point-and-shoot with a pocket camera kinda` dude but the dogs go mad when out and about and a perfectly-framed (and in focus) shot of them with a decent camera would be great.
    My pics seem to look like the outlines of the hounds are not natural-looking with the background and look `Photoshopped`.
    My daughter has a Canon DSLR which i once tried, but it`s either a fairly old one (or low-rent) and was no better (only about 8MP).
    I`d probably get acceptable results with an Iphone..

    We have a bronze of a Pharaoh hound led with the same leg cross!



    And weirdly we have it because of a red setter we had, who was shaped very similarly and always led the same way, the setter was called Candy.....



    So all in all, I thoroughly approve of your choice for all the reasons above!

    Great looking pupper. Pups can be hard work but the rewards are worth it.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I'm dog sitting for two weeks while my Sister goes on holiday. Molly had been seriously ill recently and at 13 my Sister wasn't sure she would survive! She looks fine now though....

    Best Regards - Peter

    Show us your dogs

    Meet Max. A 10 y/o Labrador.

    Max’ owner is a former colleague & friend, living on the outskirts of town; near the Royal Palace. That's a mix of meadows and woodland.

    Max used to live in the house next to my colleague's. At least, that’s what she found out 2 yrs ago! She didn't even know that the dog had been there for nearly 8 yrs! Max had only been in the house and on the fairly large grounds of that neighbour all his life. He had never been out for ‘walkies’, didn’t know about cars, didn't know other people than the older couple and had never been in water!

    The old neighbour passed away two years ago (his wife had passed away a few years ealier). That's when my colleague found out about Max. Instantly, she and her husband adopted Max. He had to learn everything! Simply things as 'sit', 'follow' etc. Like puppy training for an older dog. Luckily his new owners are patient people and Max is without a doubt the nicest dog around who still eager to learn.

    He’s still shy and doesn’t go well with a lot of people near him. He's afraid and he wants to hide. He needs a lot of encouragement to stay 'in the crowd.' This morning, he ducked away when he saw me. A few minutes later, he tried to move closer. All that time, he stayed in physical contact with his owner. He leaned against her leg while examining my hand. Only after that, the tail started to wag. More or less...

    That's the reason that Max has to wear a nozzle near children He has never harmed a kid, but he simply doesn't understand their quick moves and direct approach. Better safe than sorry. An ad to that her own experience being bitten in the face by a rottweiler years ago, you can understand how careful my friend and her husband are. Luckily, my colleague has a large swimming pond in the woodland behind her house. And she takes him on long walks into the meadows and the woodland (nozzled). But, swimming is the greatest thing on earth for Max!

    M



    (The rottweiler had broken loose from a farmer's yard when she was on her bike. The dog knocked off her bike and instantly bit her in the face when she was on the ground).

    What a life: waking up, playing with the kids, walkies and then back into the house for a long-deserved nap. I think I forgot 'eating' somewhere in that list.

    It's a great dog. For now and the future: just keep posting these pics.

    So nice that someone saw him for what he is, and understood his needs. Tell them thanks from me, when you see them next.

    Not sure what the protocol with that is. Trying to work on his recall, sure he will pick it up quickly. Any tips?

    Differing opinions (I have no dog). Some say to keep on the lead for the first year and you'll never have an issue, others say to let off and walk in different directions constantly so the dog has to keep an eye on you constantly and stay near.

    Few more years and then I can finally get a dog!

    Start from small distances and work your way up. Don't call or whistle more than once. If they don't come, go and get them. I hear owners calling and calling and the dogs just ignoring them. If they get away with it once they think it doesn't matter. Always reward with something, even if it's just praise, so they know they did the right thing.

    If you struggle get professional help asap, preferably on recommendations.

    Recall should be something nice. Nicer than 'staying out'. It works by association. Returning to the boss = reward, fun, play or similar. Some dogs are quick, others are slowwwwww. Plant the seed now his young. Make it a play-thing with a reward.

    A few recall training tips:

    Use a long-line of you are worried he wont come back to you.

    Using 2 people makes the initial training easier to control (and praise) appropriately. You probably wont need 2 people for many sessions.

    Start the training in a location where there are limited distractions and work up from there.

    When he/you are ready, introduce a whistle for the recall command. It is much more discrete than shouting at the top of your voice at 6am, when your dog has chased a rabbit/hare/deer into the nearby farmers garden.....

    LOADS of praise and never scald them. I got angry (tone of voice only) with my youngest pup and now he is reluctant to come back to me, even though I have never done it again since.

    Little and often is better than a single marathon when it comes to training.

    Always end on a positive note.

    Always be consistent.

    Always be patient. If it is not going well, knock it on the head and come out another day.

    At last after a LOT of visits to the dog sanctuary Candy is home and settling in with her new pack...



    We also brought home James, a much older tal fenek with an unfortunate history- apparently thrown out by the farmer he spent his first few years with and then went through two abortive rehomings. I think he may be around 9 years old and I suspect he may have sandfly disease so will be going for blood tests and if he has it will be on medication for the rest of his life but hopefully he’ll get to enjoy at least a couple of good years with a family...



    Finally a group shot of the whole pack- L-R Candy, Pie, Jenny, James. All rescue dogs...

    Great looking pack. Hope James gets on ok.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    We also brought home James, a much older tal fenek with an unfortunate history- apparently thrown out by the farmer he spent his first few years with and then went through two abortive rehomings. I think he may be around 9 years old and I suspect he may have sandfly disease so will be going for blood tests and if he has it will be on medication for the rest of his life but hopefully he’ll get to enjoy at least a couple of good years with a family...



    Finally a group shot of the whole pack- L-R Candy, Pie, Jenny, James. All rescue dogs...

    Massive love and respect to you for rehoming these rescue dogs.
