People keep mentioning a get together but we never get anything sorted so im going to try and start things off.

I was thinking of maybe trying to get a walk organised once a month on a saturday

We could take it in turns to sort out a walk

Maybe find a local dog friendly pub for a spot of food or a drink

Anyway
Heres my attempt at getting it started

April 24th 2010



Anyone interested let me know

That place takes me back years,used to supply fish there...

Okay, you're on. We will be there.
BTW have you entered Loki in the Breed show or just going to watch?

I will come too, and Murphy, will look forward to it. Can you remind me nearer the time, I am ever so forgetful! I will have to bring the Terrorist too!

just a bit of a warning, you might want to do times and place by PM's,
with it being an open forum, theres not just us reading,
and ive known of problems before where a group of people organised a walk
and ended up with someone trying to steal the dogs.

What with the price of stuff right now would it be worth anyones time...

To try to steal someones dog - unfortunaly yes.

Unfortunaly dogs being stolen is at an all time high,
and if it makes it easer for the person to take the dog, then they will try anything.

I will change the location as well just to be safe so if people can let me know by pm if they re interested i will send reminders out with the new location the week before

Well sorry to be grumpy but if a rescue dog is £90 then to my mind nicking a dog,with all the associated aggro is hardly worth the hassle..
Rather steal it from your house while youre at work....

I know what you mean but you only need to look at any working dog site to see the number of dogs that are stolen (working lurchers mainly). And Deerhound X's are quite popular for Lurchers.

Wow is dog stealing really that bad in the UK now, I would have thought that an organised walk with owners present would have been safe. What do people steal Deerhounds for, I would have thought that there were enough lurchers and cross breds available without the hassels of stealing a dog. Oh well perhaps I'm just a bit too trusting.

Pam

Blimey, I wouldn't have thought we would have given them the opportunity anyhow, the dogs being with us at all times, besides, I'll set the terrorist on them!

It must be heart breaking having your dog stolen, then again, think how Maddie McCanns parents must be feeling, I don't think you would ever get over something like that, you would die heartbroken.

Any more takers??

PM'd Rich.

We could be up to six hounds now hopefully

Bu**er!! I cant fit that lot in the back of my Smart car!!
Helen,please can I borrow your old van??lol

Just a quick reminder for this weekend people

Will be there Rich, just hope it's not toooo hot
BTW sorry did'nt get a chance to say bye on Saturday, hope you enjoyed it.
Spring

Yeah sorry i didnt get to say goodbye but i was in agony with my foot by the point i left and struggled to even get in the car
