Bob whites are suffering - they seem to have locked knees and so cannot stand - only one has so far survived. Internet research suggests itis a problem of close relation. So another good reason for having a pedigree and using it!

Saturday - a good doggy day. Took them all to the New Forest for a run on heather and work in the pond that Tara and Amber know so well. They had a fantastic time. Catja was spronking from tussock to tussock - chasing dragonflies mainly.
Ellie was the dark horse - she got into the water to retrieve a dummy and return it to me - time after time; with passion. She has never done that before. I wish i had my camera with me as she went nose to nose with a big shaggy beast. the cows and horses were not phased by dogs so it was a great chance to work the dogs around them.

Returned home and then a trip out to see the bob whites or bob white as it turned out plus another walk up an old ox drove. A good point by Topaz but he moved in after the flush.

The moral for the day however was Ellie - one should never give up on a Brittany - I wish there was some way to tell her i was so proud of her today.
