I don't know if anyone remembers me. I have Baira. She is now 3 and I now have a little (big) boy called Leos who is now 15 months. I'm not sure if I had him when last on here. They certainly keep me busy. We have had a few problems with Baira being dominant but have worked through it and we're all settled now and know our places.

Both are above average height for the breed, Baira being female and standing at 62cm and Leos being male and standing at 68cm. According the the UK kennel club, that's tall.

Baira has settled a bit now she's grown up a little, she's less interested in what's going on around her and more interested in her orange dummy. She still has an incredibly strong hunting instinct though and the introduction of the training collar was the best thing ever. I then decided to train Leos, who is still an absolute nutter, with one to and have never looked back with either of them. So, I thank all on here that talked me into it as I was scepticle.

We seem to have overcome most of the problems with Baira eating ANYTHING and making herself ill. She still does it occassionally but has mostly grown out of it. Leos has never been as bad.

They LOVE the water, Baira even more so. She spends so much time in the water (even when there was ice on it) we've had to keep moisterising her ears to stop the tips cracking lol.

All in all I have 2 great dogs, who I love to bits and love being with. They are respectful, loyal and so so much fun.

Some reent pics of them.......

Beautiful fur kids! Great photos. I can see the profile shots of both framed and hanging next to one another on the wall! I have been wanting to do the same with Bella and my cat (my fur kids)....but the cat is less than amused with the getting his picture taken :)

I haven't done anything with Bella on a training collar yet. Part of me feels like she doesn't need it but it sounds like maybe you felt the same and haven't regretted your decision to give it a go! Something I will have to think more about.

Welcome back Kerry! Nice to hear Baira is given you a fighter chance with the things she eats. I don't remember Leos, but I don't think it can possible have been over a year since we last heard from you!!! Hugs to both your sweet puppies!

Hey Kerry,

Good to see you back. Welcome! :) Your guys look great and so well conditioned! Seems like I remember you had just gotten Leos when last you wrote but I also have slept since then. Looking forward to seeing your posts again!

Hey, welcome back. Wondered what happened to you and the furkids. Looks like they have grown up nicely. Love the pictures. I am sure once Baira and Leos got to know each other they became best friends.
