Hello,

I have a Westie called Molly who is almost 6 years old and a Basenji X Collie called Roxy who is 8 and a half years old.

Molly I've had since 8 weeks and Roxy is a rescue.

You must be busy!

Awhh cute
My dad is a gundog trainer and he competes in field trial sand goes on shoots, within the season. We breed champion dogs from some of the best working lines

I have one adorable English Springer Spaniel called Woody ;o)
Woop woop go ESS The spaniels job is to flush game for the men to shoot, our spaniels head into the brush or bracken and hunt around and when they find something they must stop, they are not allowed to get it, when it runs/flies out it is ...shot The labs are obviously retrievers and their job is basically to bring back the flush, without damaging it (as in chewing it apart before getting back to us), the pointer works with our harris hawk and ferret. She hunts over the ground and when she catches a scent points at it, much like a pointer, we set the ferret in, once the quarry flies/runs out the hawk comes down. we have 2 kennels blocks and that is were 16 of the dogs sleep, 2 live in the house

Well its a tough question really, they are bred to work and thats what they do and they love it We couldn't fit all the dogs in the house so we built kennels, but they are loved and cherished just as much as a pet

Everyones dogs sound adorable

3 Border Collies here.

Although our old one is almost invisiable......as in the context of just being so quiet.

The two others make up for her

Helloo!!!

I'm Sarah, and I am 19!

I've only got 7 dogs at the moment, Kennel Space doesn't allow us to have many more at the moment!!!

I've got 2 Labs, Hamish & Blade, 2 Spaniels, Gracie & Misty, 2 Patterdales, Tilly & Midge, and then a Lakeland x Fell, Charlie!

Gracie, Hamish & the terriers technically belong to my OH, but I do all the dog care, as OH has recently put birds to wood!

Misty & Blade are my babes, I've only had Blade for 2 weeks, and I've had Misty since she was a pup, and she is 11months now!!

I saw a picture of your patterdale on your introductions thread, and she is gorgeous!!!!

Look forward to speaking gundogs and training with you!!
