Gemmas daughter Izzy took Spyda into the Ykc Stakes under judge Celia Vines and they were awarded a 2nd so very well done .
Congratulations everyone with your results from the Open show and Champ shows .
A couple of warnings to you all in case you are unaware .
We are coming to the season where farmers fields will turn golden yellow with Rapeseed ,
However pretty the fields look please do not walk through them with your dogs. Rapeseed is listed as Toxic to our dogs if ingested and can cause symptoms such as !
Haemolytic Anaemia , Blindness , Damaged Nervous System , Digestive Disorders and breathing problems , With my Asthma i cant even pass it with car windows open .
Talking of farmers I hope you are all aware at this time there are hundreds of lambs being born everywhere across the country , Sadly there also has been an increase in dogs chasing sheep in fields , causing ewes to miscarry their lambs and killing some too . The law is if in field being a threat to his sheep the farmer has the right to shoot your dog , and they will .Make sure you pass livestock with your dogs on the lead . Also take great care there are now lots of Adders especially around late morning sunbathing . If your dog is bitten dont make them run to the car , carry them as running will push the venom arund their body . I always carry Piraton myself when im out with our dogs ,as my vet advised 1 tablet gives more time to get to the vet , some vets do say some dont so check with your vets for their advice..
