Yes.....Stig and Hollie playing fetch is just hilarious.

I know they are not bad.... I love your dog and puppies!

GG - Sam can be snappy with larger dogs he has little dog syndrome so I will get a muzzle for piece of mind. He is ok once he is properly introduced and he realises they are not a threat, he is just fearful.

For all those that dont like dogs barking - Sam gets excited whenever he meets someone knew, being a mad Springer. Within a minute he will be sat calmly at your feet so it does not continue. I think with 200 people he will soon be worn out lol.

He will remain on a lead unless he is well out of the way of others just due to his playfulness, his lead is 60ft so beware LOL (joke)

This is how soft he is tho folks so those who dont like dogs or are wary he loves people

Awww Shell. He'll be fine. The two collies are a bit funny when other dogs are too pushy in saying hello, so we'll just play it by ear...but off the lead in the woods, they'd all be fine. Most issued with dogs are much worse when they are on the end of a lead!

I was out walking Kaiser the other day, and as we turned a blind corner, about 15 yards away walking towards us was someone else walking a dog - a really rather little black one. Kaiser decided, in his worldly way, to take one look, turn tail and leggit, literally dragging me by the lead back to the house.

It's probably a good thing he ain't coming this year. Muppet creature. Not sure this other dog even saw him, he ran off that quick. Very unusual behaviour - he quite often meets a particularly vicious collie on his walks and bounds around trying to play with it, whilst being seriously snarled at.

This dog was a total stranger, and not even up to K's knee. I can just imagine him in the corner of our tent, cowering with his paws over his head, refusing to go out.

LOL Ophic you should bring him !!

Samson had his first Muzzle bought for him today, he is being introduced a bit at a time but i can honestly say he HATES IT ha ha ha.

Spent more time walking dragging his nose along the floor using his paws trying to get it off, then sat there looking at me with sad eyes.

Ha ha ha ha silly mut
