Figo and friend

In the park this morning having a splash, Kaiser has know Figo from a puppy and has taken it upon himself to be Figos mentor/big bro , he keeps Figo in check and lets him know when his is getting OTT



P.S.........someone asked me the other day, I thought Figo was a show dog, yet you let him role around in the park...my answer was he`s a dog first , all he needs is a bath and brush up to go in the ring.

They are evenly matched Jackie. People who think dogs shouldn't be dogs first and foremost need a good shake!!!

Yes, it just shows you what some people think of show dogs, that you must keep them locked up in a room and never get dirty....... well the reason Figo was in the stream was due to him have a good time in a cow pat !!

Unless they get proper exercise they never develop the right muscle tone anyway and it doesn't half affect their movement and topline. First thing people notice and comment about my girls is the muscle on them from the swimming etc they do.

Lovely picture. Oh yes the cow pat, you see the shoulder go down first and before you can say no the whole body goes.

Always remember a breeder saying to me dogs first show dogs second.

Lovely photos and I also agree that a dog must be alowed to do all the things that dogs love to do, and that includes rolling in cow pats

Glad to see Figo has such good taste in friends

All the show dogs I know are companions/pets etc first and show dogs second. Just how it should be.
