I recognise those two dogs from another few forums, both lovely dogs though I really like Hex. We attend athletic shows ourselves. I think the dog Hex is out of Butch if I am right who is a dog I really like. |

It's great to see dogs working and enjoying it
Give a dog some work to do and it is invariably happy. _________________ John Thomson

Only negative from me is I hate to see dogs pull in collars, I much prefer a proper harness. I know when dogs pull in collars they on average tend to pull more in weight but I feel a harness is better for the dog as it distributes the weight and isnt straining just the neck area. I know at some shows now they only allow dogs to pull in harnesses whereas others it's up to the owner. |

he has a harness on in that pic...its a bit blurry but there is definately a harness. I don't honestly know much about the dog pull, only what Rainy told me.
I just checked with her, Hex is indeed out of Butch. I don't doubt you will see her about, she participates on a few dog forums and is (as you probably know) fiercely proud of her dogs and the breed. If I am a border collie snob then she the equivilent in staffie terms I think. I can't blame her. As nervous as hex makes me with his big toothy grin, he is as soft as a brush!

well that makes seance if you think about horses, they pull with there body's. they don't exactly have a harness but it's similar if you know what i mean |
