Sheridan Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I missed the first couple of minutes. Was that Crufts he was at? I love his presentation; it's always so respectful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTD Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I think he called it scruffs . more of a "pet' show... things like waggliest tail , owner/pet look alike contests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Well, that was just lovely, particularly the jack russells in action. Great to see him make the point that different breeds were 'engineered' for particular reasons and then to give an example of such a dog in action. Very funny during the jack russells. Princess Mini, who is a great television watcher, sat at attention, quivering, during the rat catching, commenting throughout. As soon as it changed back to Martin's dogs, she was up at the television complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just watched the program Loved the search for the wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charli73 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 I thought it was fascinating too, loved seeing the wolves in their pack and the similarities between them and my dog... very scary. I agree about breeds being engineered to our own needs, I look forward to the next episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becandcharch Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Those jrt's were little guns! Amazing! I loved watching that guy with the wolves. Amazing how he sticks himself in the middle of them when they are having a crack at each other! The dingos were just beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huski Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Loved the bit with the JRTs. What little fire crackers!! Love seeing dogs doing what they were bred to do and enjoying it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan's Mum Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Just finished watching it. I loved the bit where he was watching the wolves in the wild. And the bit with the Wolf man where he got to pat the wolf . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosepup Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Moosey is having little howl along with the wolves. It's quite a sight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 (edited) I enjoyed it too, never thought much of Martin Clunes before but I like him now. One thing I noticed is that I'm fairly certain the dingoes didn't all have white tips on their tails. I thought this was a way the authorities decided if it was in fact a dingo. I couldn't see any white on the Fraser Island dingoes and they're supposedly the most pure. So is a dingo a dingo if it doesn't have a white tip on its tail?

Monah Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Loved it! as usual he was respectful, attentive, charming, sweet, affectionate. Wonderful man sigh..... Great how they mentioned the breed traits etc., loved the JRTs, my GOD the black male wolf was HUGE and those TEETH next to Clunes face amazing stuff, he handled himself so well, did exactly as he was told etc. and the wolf guy in the pack while they were fighting etc., such an insight, he is one amazing man. The dingo stuff was good, I loathe the rangers on FI, noticed he did not say how they haze, electrocute and shoot them Loved that Martin was so interested and excited by the dingoes, I hope this shows the 'authorities' that the FI dingoes are a fantastic tourist resource and should be treated as such, not treated as vermin. They had a hard time finding them, yet only a few years ago you could see and hear them (howl, wonderful!) all over the place. Glad they showed the aboriginals with their dingo. Cant' wait to see next week! Loved seeing Martin interact with his dogs, he is so lovely, nice settee and cushions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mita Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Martin Clunes' dog program must be educating people. This morning, a neighbour who doesn't own dogs himself, greeted our 2 little tibetan spaniels, 'Good morning, wolves!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brennan's Mum Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Martin Clunes' dog program must be educating people. This morning, a neighbour who doesn't own dogs himself, greeted our 2 little tibetan spaniels, 'Good morning, wolves!' If you missed the show you can find it on You Tube. I was looking for the Jack Russell part to show a friend in the US. What did we do without you tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 I Enjoyed the program , seeing Him greet and meet the Wolves The 2 Aborigines with there much loved family Dingo , and the JRTs were tops ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullbreedlover Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Martins enthusiasm during the whole show was actually bubbling over. he seemed genuine as he went in search of the wolves, his dingo expedition and the jrts. The stuffed dog museum was uumm, interesting to say the least. The wolf man whom they showed has been on TV before quite awhile ago. I cant remember how long but it was awhile. When I watched the program I just wanted to be able to reach out and touch the wolves and be amongest them. They are beautiful but very misunderstood creatures. I have loved wolves for many many years. Even doing a speech about them at intermediate school. Gosh that was a few years ago LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
