Always great to read about Hamish.
Wonderful photos, love Hamish in his office, those super intelligent eyes. That would be one for a frame CC!

Thank you for your post Wullie, even though we don't want to hear it, it is the truth of the situation and you wrote it yourself. I can honestly say you have been a huge inspiration to me with your no nonsense posts and humour. I wish I could have met you when you did hpr classes, but it wasn't goin...

This is almost the exact same scenario I had when I bought home an eight week old bitch into a house with an eleven year old and a three year old, both neutered dogs. All Large Munsterlanders. The first time she did it, the barking, and wanting to play rough with the three year old , I said to her '...

Maybe it is a breed characteristic in certain lines? I have a talking one, but then he talks to everyone all the time, and not just when hunting. My others have been fairly quiet, same lines. I often have to introduce people to the Large Munsterlander, and one lady repeated back to me ' oh a Large M...

Two HPR, one young bitch of two and another male of five. Both LM. Both 'pets'.

Daily ration split into two with my three. Fed after exercise in the morning. Again after they have been walked and we have eaten our evening meal. Personally with my breed I would never exercise after food. Training seems easier with an unfed dog, always eager to comply in case a treat might be in ...

Love the title of this thread. I would say our dogs are a great source of comfort in these strange and troubling times. Keep it going CC, always great to read about you and your dogs. Here in the UK we are allowed and hour of exercise, so,I hurry quickly walking to the arable farmland, tracks and wo...

Yes, I also CC would be very interested to hear what you are doing with your dogs, as I am trying to entertain three Munsters on a patio, the rest of the garden being out of action due to all the lawn being re seeded.

Well here in the north Midlands it has been a soggy few months, I have been keeping the dogs on higher ground, and stubble (still), conifer plantations. Great ravines have opened up on winter wheat fields and the sand has separated from the very poor soil, and left stones and a grey dust that dries ...
