Sorry forgot to mark as sold, eventually found a home for him a couple of weeks ago!

Unbelievably, I still have this boy to find a home for. He's an absolute sweetheart of a dog, extremely compliant and soft-going. Price dropped to £900 to hopefully get things going.

I'd be inclined to say it's a grass seed from what you've described, but if a decent vet has had a proper look with the right tool and found nothing, it's difficult to tell them they're wrong. Was the dog sedated during the procedure? In my experience they have to sedate the dog because otherwise its instinctive reaction to resist the procedure can hamper results greatly. My experience is all with spaniels though, and they are absolute magnets for grass seeds.

I do if they actually turn up to viewings and agree to buy a pup! it’s amazing how some peoples’ situations can suddenly change in an instant, and also how easily they forget to let you know they’re not coming!

I could have sold this litter 3 times over by now if people stuck to their word!! I don’t know how breeders do this full time! So I’ve still got one dog and one bitch available, both liver. Some up to date photos below…

Yes still a couple available. Send me your number in a private message and I’ll give you a call to discuss 👍

Due to time wasters, I still have a dog and a bitch available

I will have one dog and one bitch available, ready to go late September. The dog is liver, bitch could be either liver or white/liver/roan (tbc after a viewing this coming weekend) KC Registered (as soon as they pull their finger out), microchipped, docked and dew clawed. Both parents excellent workers. Pedigrees available on request. My pups are already very well socialised, playing with toys and each other, meeting a few new people. They have been raised indoors and are well used to all sorts of domestic sounds. They’re bright, confident and not fazed by new things or sudden noises Dam is a fairly small slender type, very driven and extremely hard working. Sire is medium sized, well built but not too chunky. He is a spirited dog in the field, ultra steady but knows how to hunt when required. Can probably be seen at time of viewing by prior arrangement Viewings being arranged now so please PM me if interested! more photos on request Price is £1k

Thanks gents, that’s some very useful food for thought, I appreciate it! I’ve got 2 maybe 3 spoken for already whelping box next!

After thinking the mating hadn’t worked, suddenly her teats went up like hat pegs…. It turns out all the hassle was worth it. A probable 5 little nippers due around 25th July! I need to sort out a whelping box now plus probably many other things I don’t know about yet, as this is my first time. I’ve had a little debate with a friend over what I should be asking for the pups. The litter will be KC registered, docked and dew clawed, and sent out having had their first jabs. I was thinking £1k is probably a fair price but he had a different idea. Any advice on that from those with closer experience would be appreciated. I don’t want to undersell myself but at the same time I’m not interested in taking the mickey, just want them out to good homes which two definitely will be already!

Seventh time lucky this evening! Got some surgical gloves on, basted the target area with a bit of sex lube and after several false starts the train finally arrived at the station. The tie lasted nearly an hour 😫 My back is killing me because we had to hold them, both were trying to struggle apart from time to time and then the dog decided he wanted to lie down! Going to have another go tomorrow just for good luck but tonight seemed quite promising Time for a beer….

we've tried helping like that, but the problem is as soon as you put a hand down there, or touch his rump area to push him forwards, the dog backs off.

Possibly not everyone will get the Deirdre reference but I have a problem of an amorous nature. Not myself, you understand. I'm trying to mate my cocker bitch but having a bit of a struggle. She's a first timer. The stud dog has previously serviced successfully, just the once, several months ago. I'm very lucky in the fact that the stud belongs to a friend who lives literally a few minutes' walk round the corner. We started a little early, on day 7, just to get them acquainted with each other. He seemed very keen at the time but she wasn't terribly receptive to his advances unsurprisingly. This morning was failed attempt no.6 Over the last week, at each visit the bitch has been getting progressively more keen but the dog seemed to have gone off the idea until he finally tried to mount on Monday (her day 11). What's happening is if they're left alone to get on with it, they don't really get on with anything; he mounts, they move about, he's off. I've been holding her and presenting her to him which, after he has learned the routine, spurs him to mount with no problem. The problem is he's aiming way below the target and if any attempt is made to adjust his aim, he dismounts. If left alone he just thrusts into thin air and that's another pair of my trousers in the washing machine. It doesn't work with the dog's owner holding the bitch, because then when the dog mounts he is looking straight at his owner, which he obviously doesn't like because he then dismounts and won't carry on. Physically, they're a similar frame size. The bitch is a very slim build and he's quite chunky. We tried giving him a bit of a step-up with a few foam tiles but it didn't make any difference. On several attempts, he has obviously got somewhere near, the bitch has squeaked and flinched and this makes him immediately stop and get off. She's gagging for it but he just doesn't seem to have the determination. I was wondering if anyone with experience has got any advice? Thanks

Probably a bit late but...You can just open a PDF in word which will convert it. Then it's an editable word document that you can save in whatever format the program allows you to.

A perfect example of moronically guided fake environmentalism. What is the probability that the wood used will not ever rot or burn, for all infinity? Zero.
