I'm not feeling very happy at all. My breeder sent me one of Gordon Inglis' write-ups on SM.
I tried to get over my fear of putting a harness on Dylan. He did air scratch all the way to the park in the center of town. I kept reassuring him. We went to the park and I put him on his long lead, it's one used for horses. I can't let him off, he is not neutered. This lead is very long and he gets a good run. What we like to do is I call "come" and start running in the opposite direction and he charges along towards me. This boy looks stunning when he runs. He was the delight of his training class when we did recall. We met a B&T boy who was beautiful and a tiny cross breed who usually goes for dogs but she loved Dylan.
Unfortunately, on the way home, we walked past the veterinary practice. We saw a dog outside and went to say hello but the owner said to keep back as her dog had kennel cough, I hope we were not too close, after being told kennel cough can travel 1 mile. Dylan is due his vaccine next month. But as you know, the vaccine doesn't cover every strain of kennel cough. I did ask for it early as lots of dogs have it at the moment but the vet said to wait until after the neurologists consultation.
