Definately check him for little friends yourself!!! One of our friends lost a dog because a vet never diagnosed him properly after thousands of pounds of stupid tests. John took him to another vet and they knew instantly that is was rabbit fleas. It was too late to help him though as there had been too much damage done through infection etc. Such a shame. I know it is an extreme story but it just goes to show that vets can miss things. Poor little Hudson!!!
I cannot wait until our next puppy, I am so jealous looking at all of the pictures and first walks when they stay near you, I miss that stage. As Ali stressed, do let them off the leads as much as possible! As much as I say Ceilidh sometimes struggles to come back when called etc she never lets us out of sight.
Ali, you know I don't think that about your lovely snuggly dogs! I only ment that James was such a good trainer and they were so well behaved. Besides, I wouldn't have signed up for another 2 if they were terrible! Are you doing national gundog 2nd Aug before Paignton?
