Ringo update

Just wanted to say congrats to all the show. We are hoping to go to Crufts for gun dog day next year, not sure how you get tickets though.


Ringo got up on Saturday morning like a different dog from the day before he was back to his normal mischievous self. We think it must have been a strain or a pulled muscle, Stig and he get very physical in their play and Stig is very strong and may have done it by accident. We tried to keep play to the minimal on Saturday but Ringo was having none of it. Oscar must be a bit like Stig he gets very over excited and some times scares Ringo he is only 15 months and can behave like a whirlling dervish at times . To Little ones like Hudson and Ringo they must be like scary we made sure that Stig was really tired out and had a good walk before we bought Ringo home so all his excess energy had gone and he was quite calm. He was actually scared of Ringo to start with now they love each other and play most of the time really nicely and even curl up in the Crate together for sleeps. Ringo yesterday managed to climb on the sofa which he has not been bothered with before.

Glad the the liver bread is helping I used to take it to Stigs Training classes and all the dogs wanted it. Brodie is doing well , Ringo does a little bit of fetching but we have to keep Stig out the way as he wants to do it as well. He can do 'down ' now although at times it resembles a complete collapse:) Yesterday we had no puddles and he even took himself out side after his lunch and went all on his own. He is eating for England which I gather Brodie and Hudson do as well:)
