Breeding even one litter will make you a breeder! I am not going to be hypocritical and tell you not to breed as i have done BUT you need good mentors with a real understanding of the breed.

My two are very prey driven and have been since day one and I haven't been able to break that at all. Although Pearl is OK with the cat in the kitchen, did take several years but the cat has never been an indoor cat so they only see her few times a week if that. Out in the garden and they will chase...

Apart from Chris being regarded as the best in the country for eyes, he is very straight forward and honest. He won't perform unnecessary surgery. I took my pups to see him when they were tiny as I was paranoid about them needing tacking and he said they were perfect. Well worth the 2 1/2 hour drive.

Most likely she was fed a crappy food and that 'could' be the cause of her skin and itchiness. As you've now got her on cereal free, you may well find that in a few weeks it her skin will improve. As you've just got her, I personally wiould wait and see if that improves with the food rather than tro...

I tried hand feeding him a few months ago but as soon as he saw my hand go in his bowl, he went mental! Strangely enough, I can give him my leftovers off my plate and hold the plate and move it without any probs. he certainly is a strange bod!

To be honest, I've gone past embarrassment with him now :( He will just launch at me, all guns blazing! Tonight as I was dishing up their tea (he's gated out of the kitchen at food times) and I heard him growl so I ignored it and carried on. As I turned round to give them tea, he just launched at th...
