Breagh with her mum Roshin

Uploaded a whole heap of pictures tonight. No doubt some of these have been posted before but here's our Breagh with her mum Roshin.

Her food issues were there for us to see at an early age. Are you not a bit big for this ?


Nope !


Well I'll just smile regardless


I'll lick you if you're going to be my new feeder then !


Kiss me - I'm off to Scotland !


Some final training from mum - I've been told Fingal and Skye like there toys !


Bye mummy. Not sure if I'll ever see you again so have a big lick

Well I think she's absolutely stunning! Have you ever thought of trying her out as a gundog? Would be interesting to see which part of her heritage was more dominant!

Point or retrieve, who knows?!

No we've not but I would say she's pretty good at the retrieve. Not really worked at it but she has a very soft mouth and is happy to hand over the spoils. Better than Fingal (Springer) who does the old head weave thing so you can't get the catch off him

Woody used to do that! "I love you so much I brought this back for you! But, in fact, I'd rather you didn't take it off me!"

You're right - Pointer X labs - are actually bred as an all round dog esp in America . I'll not try and explain as there's a whole heap of info on the net about people who breed Labs that 'point' but also the breeding of the two.
