Oh Sas I am so very very sorry to hear about your boy ....

Brunker Rd is a brilliant vet clinic, we see Paul but have seen Simon before and im pretty sure he does specialise in Ortho work ... It used to say on the website which vet has interests or specialises in which area ..

couldn't agree more teach your kid to respect the dog a lot more, she is a living creature not a pillow. Agree with this!

oh thankgoodness! what great news to read

Deerhound Saluki Pharoah Hound Borzoi Irish Wolfhound (basically I love the look of the hounds but gundogs are where my heart lies)

Are you seriously annoyed at them hanging washing on their balcony?

My dogs eat a chicken frame each most nights of the week,

Fenced dog parks arent very common in NSW, ive only seen them in Sydney, id buy a long lead if I was you

I thought he might have been named after St Artemas ..... But yes Artemis (or Diana) aka the Goddess of the Hunt is definately female im surprised that you had input into your dogs registered name, both breeders of my boys chose their names (I just consider it falls under breeders rights lol ... They did all the work, they get to choose) and their registered names played no part in the names we gave them Oh and the same for our cat too

I was just about to say the same thing ....

Archibald (Klausenkesh Aragorns Quest) Archie at 8 weeks Archie now at 2yrs on the right Morty & Archie together from this to this (from the 2011 GSP Calender)

Mortimer (Fenrik Chequer Board) Morty at 8 weeks, first night at home at 12 weeks - being a gundog is not always instant water love! Morty now at 3.5yrs (in front)

The more American bloodlines seem to have more white on them - quite a bright flashy white, and often with the stripe down the middle of the face .... they seem very popular at the moment in GSP's Personally I prefer solid coloured heads and the solid browns in body (we used to be able to call them liver but now they are brown) or brown and white (with only small amounts of white)I have a solid brown boy (Archie) and a brown and white boy (Morty) .. I'd like to add a solid black or black/white to the family in the future ....

are there 2 different litters of pups there Huga or is it just the angle of the camera? that 3rd last photo especially? I've been "squeeing" over these photos on your fb wall, they are just so adorable!

Morty was only about 5mths old when I ducked into the lane to bring the garbage bin back in - little bugger slipped out the gate behind me and went running down the lane... I chased him calling him, hes a puppy so completely ignoring me just loving the opportunity to run run run! unfortunatly what I realise it that he is running with a pair of my undies in his mouth (I had been getting the washing off the line before bringing in the bin) flapping about in the breeze Next thing he disappears into a neighbours back yard through their open gate, I get there to find him sitting on the ground giving a pair of my undies to my neighbour who was laughing so very loudly giving Morty lots and lots of pats I bundled the monster up, took the undies back and fled back to my house, I could hear the neighbour laughing all the way on my way back .... little sh%t that he was!
