Woo hoo! We'll be there.

We can do 22nd April or 6th May, but can't do the 29th. Hoping to show you all that Fin is finally going grey! He was quite late starting, We didn't really notice any (apart from the usual sprinkling ...

I'd forgotten just how much I love your stories, Amanda! Lovely to hear how well Dinah is doing. x

I've heard that Thunder Shirts can be very comforting to an anxious dog. Worth a try!

Yes, I've just logged back in for the first time in a while. I am on Facebook, but it's mainly people's photos (however gorgeous) and not the interesting stories and advice we used to share on here. M ...

So sorry to hear this, Kathy. Zeta clearly reached a great age for a briard and was obviously dearly loved. You will have made so many fabulous memories together. Hope these are a comfort to you at t ...

Not logged in for a while, but I just wanted it noted here how amazingly supportive Brenda has been to me and my briards. Brenda is full of knowledge, experience and common sense. Even when you feel a ...

Good idea. I have used boys socks before, but when you leave them intact, they tend to come off unless you use that vet sticky bandage to tape round the legs and fold the top of the sock over (althou ...

Our Volvo XC70 actually has a metal grille built into the car roof, which can be folded down to keep dogs in the boot, so I am surprised yours doesn't, Amanda.

So very sorry to hear about your terrible loss. Our thought are with you. Hope the wonderful memories help you through this dreadful time. When I am experiencing such pain, I just think of those happ ...

I also want to support this website. I am on FB, but it tends to be the usual short posts and photos, compared to the longer stories, information and advice you get on here.

She's lovely. Things might get a bit easier as she becomes less wriggly and the transition from puppy to adult coat is over. However, the long coat always takes time I'm afraid, so if you decide to gr ...

Welcome! Sorry, I only check this site once in a while- tend to be on the FBC Facebook page more these days.The tennis ball obsession is pretty common, I think. Finlay (20 months) loves his tennis ba ...

Thinking of you. You will know when it is time to let her go. Just try to enjoy these precious moments with her. Xx

Poor Dakota, having to go through this, and poor you, having all the worry. Let's hope she's had her fair share of health issues now and she goes on to have many more quality years with you.

This is not briard-related, although Hugo was around somewhere, but once, when I was picking blackcurrants in the garden, a baby jay launched itself at me, then parked itself next to me, flapping its ...

Yes, we had the arm grabbing incident with Hugo when he felt threatened by someone approaching in the street. Luckily it was a very understanding dog-lover and no harm was done. It does sound as thoug ...

Hugo used to be over-friendly towards visitors, shut in another room while they sat down, then generally launching himself into their laps. He was such a greedy boy who would eat anything, so we star ...

Fab! Shame about all the other ones that have disappeared. I wouldn't have posted them if I had known they might one day simply vanish! Not sure I can be bothered trawling back through my posts to rep ...

Amanda, photobucket allowed you to upload photos to their website, then copy and paste them into your posts, rather than just uploading photos from your computer to the photo album. If you look back ...

As Maxnick pointed out on another thread, photobucket is no longer free to use. This means that they have removed all of the previously uploaded images from our posts! So if you look back at posts whi ...

Oh no! I have used photobucket a lot in the past!
Yes, I remember your posts about Ina. I don't need a photo to be reminded of what a beautiful briard she was.

I so enjoy your doggy tales, Amanda. Dinah sounds like a real treasure.

So pleased to hear your happy news! I'm sure they will bring you much joy (and a bit of chaos!) Looking forward to seeing the pics.

Well yes! He's a briard!

Awww they are lovely when they are a bit floppy and gangly! Yes, it's worth the drive. We are planning a move to North Wales (house going on market and serious searching for new home starts in Septem ...

Fantastic, Adam! What a great reminder of all the fun we had!

Comfortable! He's a poser! No seriously, he is such an obliging little fella. He's very easy to photograph. Shame my photography skills don't match his supermodel potential! I've not got a bad camera, ...

Oh I've heard of Billy No Mates! Will have a look for It! Thank you!

Our dogs don't ever seem to get ticks when walking around where we live (even though the vet says she has seen them in the park), but they always get them in Scotland. This year we are spending two w ...

No need to panic! Milbemax wormer protects against lungworm as long as you give it monthly. I recommend doing this while your pup is young and picking everything up. Then you can revert to working eve ...

Finlay likes the bluebell woods!

It's a nasty thing which they can get from slugs and snails in the garden. Our first briard, Oscar, would eat snails if he accidentally stood on them and squashed them, but he was never ill. I think ...

Well there are lots of briards in the south-east, so I am sure there will be get-togethers close enough for you to drive to.

We live in a town and I know people who do obedience, agility, heelwork to music, flyball and rally. There are often TV programmes showing sheepherding, but I don't know if this is just farmers and t ...
