Some cracking canines in this thread!

Here's my faithful companion (some are shabby phone pics, sorry):

He does quite good impressions:

I'm trying to train him for woodland stalking:

He's a good friend and family member.

Here's the two I have now (have had for the past 7 years):

Sadie Ann with my oldest grandson, James, about two years ago:



And here's one of my Boxer mix, Dinah:



Dinah's the world's perfecr nanny. James' baby brother, two year old Carson, opens her mouth to inspect her teeth, pulls her ears, uses her as a step stool to climb onto the couch, and generally abuses her patience. None-the-less, she dutifully follows him around making sure he's safe and happy. I suppose it helps that he always tries to share his meals and snacks with her. LOL.

I have 2 cats :D who are excellent mousers, ratters & rabbiters :cool: (they don't do birds), they also come for walks round the farm with me on occasion. When they will allow me, I can sometimes share the rabbits ... I'm really not into mouse or rat, I spose you could call me a fussy eater :lmao:!!!

I occasionally have the chance to go out with Magpiewolf's 2 whippets (very cat-like dogs!) who are also good hunters and great fun. Our first pair of cats came everywhere with us, like walking on Exmoor, but my current girls do not believe in car-travel :D

My dog's not much of an outdoor dog, but he's a great companion. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are said to be one of the most friendly breeds, and he definitely fits that description. He's been camping a few times with me and climbed up a few hills. Quite impressive for such a small dog. He turned one only a couple of months ago.

My collie and my mum's spaniel who follows me everywhere, usually with a soggy tennis ball in her mouth and a hopeful look on her face.

Bumpy: a six year old mini Schnauzer. Thick as two short planks, cheeky, stubborn, great temperament, greedy, thinks she's a big dog but with a low down bum... And falls in rivers a lot (she just seems to topple in from the bank - never from the canoe!). And also scared of sheep!

She still hasn't got the hang of standing up on command - and I'm beginning to think she never will. Knows mealtimes though!
