Some lovely collies on here, all my photo's of our collie Nip are with the now ex-Mrs Rusty (as is the dog) it's amazing how much you can miss a creature of such limited intelligence >the dog is hopefully thinking<
Some great dogs here, anymore out there? 😀
Woof!

He's a bit young at the moment.. but I'm determined he's going to be a trail dog 🙂
TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsSTR - how tall is that fence!!!?
STR - what breed is your hound?
Awesome boxer Bedds, if he's anything like my Maddy he'll love the trails. I only really take her to local routes like delamere purely because we go faster than her and constant and im pretty sure it'd keel her over! she'd need more breaks than us shes had a few health issues too so i cant risk her getting too tired out.
Golfchick -- photo of dog? 😀
Aha! Perfect topic for my first post. Evening all, here's my dog, Woody, a 20mnth old Springer Spaniel. He loves it!

Sorry for all the pics......
Haddock - that 2nd pic of your folks' dogs. The German Shepard-y type. He's the wisest looking dog I've ever seen!!
He's a real crazy horse! The Grey Lurchers the cunning one though.He was letting himself out of a closed pvc kitchen window for weeks, my mother thought she was going mad, he finally got caught out by getting tangled in the blind, on closer inspection we found little teeth marks on the handle!
Thanks Haddock.
Just had a long-ish ride in the Peaks with my boy today.
Here's the links to the pics:

Sadly I don't reckon JD is gonna make it as a trail dog but here's a pic of the little fella anyway . . .

He was absolutely fine off the lead but getting to and from the local trails/park was a nightmare. Last time out he just bolted for home rather than have his lead back on (I was only on the BMX) so I've since decided that bikes and dogs don't mix (for us anyway). Fortunately the local woods are only a 10 min walk away . . . it's amazing the different stuff you spot on your usual riding route when just walking.

Just out of curiosity, do you find that you end up waiting for the dog, or the dog ends up waiting for you? Or are you evenly matched?
WHOLEY COW max has got some tongue!! bet the bitches love him!!! 😉
Our two have out run the bikes, upto 15-20 miles until recently, now nearly ten and they like a 5 miler with me on the SS, one usually ahead on point and just behind/one along side
Fittest dog i ever saw was a Husky that was with 2 Snowboarders in Kaprun.
It ran down the hill after them, occasionally struggling through the off piste and caning it down the piste.
Then when they got to the bottom it either hopped on the chairlift (he had a pass round his neck!) or 1/2 the time ran back up under the chairlift. We saw him carrying on like this for a whole afternoon and the guys were proper shifting it too!
That first pic of Kasper is brilliant user-removed!
@ Fozzybear & GolfChick..
She's stunning!! Marley is 4 months old now, so we're still having to limit what he does.. He's got a thing for Kong tennis balls as well! although he's not carrying them yet and his bravery around water is 'questionable'! 😉
They're the greatest dogs though aren't they?
sorry everyone else.. but they just are! 😉
Why thankyou mrsflash. He had to be bribed with mini sausages. 🙂
yeah Bedds they're definitely the best dogs, hoping when fozzy moves in with me he'll let me have another 🙂 shall have to talk nicely to him tho. Not sure on the whole Boxer round water thing, i dont think i've ever met one who will swim. Maddy can swim and Im pretty sure she knows this (fell in canal when she was 1) but she refuses to do so! So much so that the other week one of her squeaky balls landed a bit far in the lake, we spent roughly 20 mins by the shore asking passerbys if their dogs swam whilst maddy was upto her neck in the water 'boxing' the water with her leg trying to beckon it closer to no avail. In the end the currents brought it close enough to hook it to a tree and maddy left it alone long enough to give it chance to do so, she'd already pushed it further out by trying to grab it and missing. Have you ever seen two boxers adult playing? if you're a boxer lover its a must see event!!

Ditch Jockey -
does he climb well? Its amazing what they can get up. We had a (now sadly deceased) Collie, German Shepherd cross, that managed to go up Jacks Rake on Pavey Ark - he was really sure footed, been over Striding edge and Sharp edge too, (on a harness and a short scrambling rope) he looked very similar to yours, a lovely dog!
Bracken's a 'she' not a 'he', but yes, she's very sure footed and seems to have good depth perception - apparently that's sometimes a problem with dogs.
She's certainly better on rocky ground than she is around water - she has an aversion to getting her lovely white paws wet, although she's better now as she doesn't expect to get carried over streams anymore. She's only just hit 2 years, so this will be the first summer we've had her out for any serious walks.

Would I be correct in saying that is Innerleithen ?

6ft - but the hound is stood on a load of sleepers holding the back of the rockery up, so probably 4ft.

STR - what breed is your hound?
Not entirely sure, as we got him at 4 months old from a shelter, but information from when we got him, coupled with opinions from doggy type people, we've decided he's a Staffy/Boxer cross.
