Beautiful looking dogs Bellbram. That's a lovely green hat the second from the left is wearing
.Glad we've got some dog people on the site - I sometimes wondered if I was the only 'non-cat' person here...
At one time we had a pure-bred
mongrel. There was a bit of... well, just about everything, probably - collie, labrador, greyhound (boy, could she change lightbulbs!). We got her from the RSPCA when she was about five. Her original owner was in the RAF, got posted abroad and couldn't take her with the rest of the family.
They had lived in a town, we lived in a village, so a walk in the fields was a new experience for her. First time out, we let her off (no livestock about and a bag of biscuits at hand), and she snuffled about a bit before a pheasant took off. It stayed low and she chased it until it proved to her it could clear the hedge on the other side of the field and she couldn't.... Once she scrambled back out of the hedge she wandered back with a most puzzled expression. Lovely nature but it must have been that the first owners were referring to when they named her Belle!
