My dear bitch was pts Feb 2002.  I have since found several copies of Pedigrees with her ancestors, last week I picked up a book about cockers, in which is a detail of her Gt Gt Grandad who I believed was born in Oz.  According to another web-site however, he is listed as UK born, 1974.  Now confused  so I have sent an PM to the current breeder of her 'line'.

Apparently her Gt Gt Grandad carried a fatal gene for kidney disease but she didn't have that, fortunately.  Once the owner of him realised he was withdrawn from Stud.

I haven't watched Crufts. Couldn't bear to listen to any perceived problems that Brexit might bring 

Though a comment elsewhere here brought back a memory: of my little  watched the corps de ballet 'Cygnets' dancing across the screen from left to right, when they disappeared off right she went behind the TV to see where they had disappeared to   

I have seen the back end of a Leonberger and a large Landseer today

Apart from the dogs, I like Noel Fitzpatrick. Such a genius.
Nice person as well as a brilliant vet....
In another life...maybe......Mmmm

[Countrygirl]

I've always had and have labs and golden retrievers and a very overworked Hoover 😂😂 x

[jillydoll]

Love those dogs soooo much, Countrygirl...Both of them.....
I know the hoover is worth it's weight in gold isn't it?

[jaypo]

Love retrievers,they always look so happy.
Noel Fitzpatrick is brilliant,although sometimes it's hard to watch and I end up blubbing 😢😭

[jillydoll]

I love, retrievers too, and yellow labs.....
We always had Rottweilers , in the days of no tails , but now OH wouldn't have one because of that, also, he thinks they're over bred now. And not the same, as they were in the days of ‘omen' film.....
Remember those in that film? They were lovely.

The only pedigree I had was a Dalmation for my 10th birthday, all our other dogs have been mongrels (Heinz 57) 

[jillydoll]

My parents only ever had mongrels too. They lived till they were 13/14 . That's a lot longer than any pedigree dog I've ever owned, unfortunately.....😢😢

[jaypo]

The 57 varieties were supposed to be the hardiest.my mums one lived til she was nearly 17
I've had two boxers,one brindle & one white,three King Charles cavaliers,two tri colour and one ruby,German shepherd,black & two poochis (chihuahua x poodle)😊

[jillydoll]

I've always wanted a couple of dogs at the same time, but OH wouldn't be able to cope with it.....😃
Having one is hard enough for him... he loves dogs, don't get me wrong, but can't cope when they get ill..  and would worry far too much if one died and the other one pined for it.... that would see him over the edge....so one it's always been for us...🙂

[jaypo]

Not sure I could cope with two large breeds,especially if they're hard work,your dog is beautiful Jill but could you have two of them?😳

[jillydoll]

I could! Lol.  😂😂
But I'm not generally a stress head like him....(apart from when I get meno symptoms of course.) it wouldn't bother me, I don't think anyway.
Someone around here somewhere, walks four of them, at the same time!
Black n white they are,... now four,......no, I'm not that crazy....lol

[jaypo]

You'd have your blower on permanently 😂

[jillydoll]

Yeah,😂😂 hoover, too...
Far too much.....

I've broke the blower, pulled it too much, 😂😂 out in the garden...😗😗😗
