Hi

Well I now can safely join as I am the proud owner of an HPR again.

I lost my weimaraner Cressy last year and in have been owned since by a rescue welshie and a demented deerhound. Please don't ask why this combination Wink

.

As of monday I have been adopted by Mugi, a 10 year old rehome Brittany. Mugi has never worked having lived his earlier years in Edinburgh with most of his exercise coming from Golf Courses. I hope to soon get him off lead and see what his nose can do.

It is so funny to be back with a lively, independant dog in the household and even though I now have 3 entire males of 10, 4.5 and 2 all seems to be going well.

I was wondering if you had got your rescue yet Sue! Well done, there is a link on here for both the Brittany forum and the Brittany club, very friendly and helpful bunch Smile

See you soon,

Mike

Hi Sue and welcome Very Happy

How did you come by Mugi? Is he from a rescue?

Did you especially want a Brittany, or were you just looking for any rescue HPR?

There are some Brittany people on here, somewhere!

Hi Josie - I originally was looking for an older weimaraner rescue but that was not proving easy. I heard about Mugi after overhearing a conversation his breeder was having with Claire (IWRRS) and I decided to look into him a bit further.

So in essence he is a breeder coordinated rehome, his previous owner returned him on monday and his breeder and I then met partway between Scotland and Worcestershire.

He is a really lovely lad (if a trifle fond of his voice at the moment!!!).

way to go

One of mine is a second owner animal - he lost his first on a Welsh mountain top.

welcome. there are a number of Brittany's your way - we were even up there a couple of weeks ago. forum member Annie is in Aberdeen so not that far.

There is a Brittany Club meeting with activity day on the Sat and show on the Sun; it is the 20th anniversary of th eclub.14th 15th October Cattthorpe Manor Lutterworth, Leicestershire. 100 Brittanys loose in a field is a sight to behold.

Good luck. Make contact if youare ever in Hampshire.

I would love to see people reactions when they see the two orange and whites together. Smile

Oh hi Jo, how many names do you have???? lol

Guy - Mugi and I will be attending the Saturday of the Brittany Club event providing he has settled with me enough. I doubt very much he will be loose though as recall could be an issue......we will have to see where we are at by then!
