Hello to all UK "wuff" owners
I have just registered as a member on this excellent and most interesting site. Like June, I too purchased our boy from Eddy Harrison, who then lived near Newark, 7 years ago this August. I am trying to get in touch with Eddy - does anybody have her new address/tel no or could pass on a message? She is indeed lying low because of all this ridiculous fuss about wolf dogs - ALL dogs are wolves - genetically there is no difference, they are all the same species Canis Familiaris - but she rang me about a year or 18 months ago to say she was moving and that she would let me know of her new contact details, but that was the last I heard of her.
I would just like to say that our boy is the most wonderful, beautiful, intelligent, loyal, exasperating, hole-digging, garden wrecking, carpet ruining "dog" I have ever had. He knows what I am thinking before I've barely thought it, he can understand words and sentences not just intonation. He was a wonderful father having sired a litter of 9 pups!! He keeps in regular contact with at least 3 of his litter who live locally, and loves them all and they love him. He goes everywhere with us - if our boy isn't welcome, then neither are we. We live in the depths of the country and any pub that doesn't allow dogs to our minds has no right to call itself a country pub! At our local he is more welcome than we are - and it has been pointed out is better behaved than us!! He can be amazingly obedient when he can see the point - ie in public, around sheep, cats, young children, babies, in town etc. etc. but has no truck with obedience for the sake of it just to show off. Right from 6 weeks old he is totally trustworthy with food, and will not touch anything you give him until you tell him he can. He will lie there with a juicy rib between his paws and will gaze everywhere but at the tasty morsel in order to be able to resist the temptation - you can even leave the room and he won't touch it until you tell him he can. But ask him to walk to heel, well forget it, or not to liberally goose a gorgeous blonde who has just walked into the pub - no way! He is universally loved and so is his son whom we kept as a stud fee initially, but then gave him away to farmer friends in the locality because he needed more exercise than we could give him. He ate our conservatory so had to go! He regularly comes back to stay with us and is ecstatic every time we meet. He is more obedient than his father!
I'd love to hear from other wuff owners in the UK - especially if anyone can help re Eddy?
