Hi and welcome to the forum. Has your vet had a look at it?
Hi and welcome to the forum. I'm just across the border in Somerset and also have a Ziggy. Not a lab though but a Clumber spaniel. Hope you have...
Could it be her microchip?
I use a series of pip-pip-pips for recall. I can't even tell you how many, have never really counted them. I can't see any reason why you couldn't...
I also have a dog called Ziggy! He is six years old now, a working Clumber and a field trial award winner. I wouldn't dream of taking him out...
That is definitely too many litters for a five year old bitch. She must be having them on the bounce, a mating every time she comes into season,...
Great to hear it worked for your boy! :)
That reminds me, I need a new profile pic. There are only four. Amy is missing!

Yes, I used one for my Clumber spaniel. He loves water but his swimming technique wasn't very good. He kept trying to feel the ground underneath...
I use a whistle for recall, stop, and as a turn whistle during hunting. It is crystal clear to the dog what I mean, it carries further than voice...
That's fine, whatever floats yours or your dog's boat. But food has worked for all of my dogs and what's more it is a far more discreet way to...
Eh, you do have a spaniel don't you? Calm and dignified? Hmmm....:p:D
That same trainer once said to me that cheese ruins a dog's sense of smell when he saw me giving Caddie a cube of cheese. Five minutes later she...
