| Falabella's are so cute !! Yes this one is a 'project' of mine. She is a dartmoor i bought last summer I have broken her in and my 3 yr old rides her (photo attached). I will do a couple more shows with her in spring and sell her on ( well thats the plan!)I have a another pony and 2 horses as well. Is that your dog - he/she looks lovely. I had my 12 yr old boxer put down last october and really miss having a dog. Hoping to get another one in spring, a border terrier this time though....

Oooh that little dartmoor is sooo cute!!!!
Yes, the dog is Penny, she is a 6 year old lab x springer and was a rescue dog. But we know the previous owners grandparents, and Penny was born in Catterick garrison to a gun dog family. they cross the 2 breeds so that when they are out on a shoot, the dogs don't care where they go, into water, bracken, bushes, anywhere!!
We don't shoot with her, but she is very good at catching moles, rats and mice. One year she caught 15 moles!!!! And she's a great retriever, self taught. She started off by giving Brian the TV remote while we were eating dinner, and he gve her a titbit off his plate, and ever since then, every time we eat, there she is with the remote in her mouth!
Also she helps bring the shopping in from the car. Usually the tins as she can get them in her mouth, and she brings the smaller bits of wood in for the woodburner! She is such a good dog, but then I'm biased!!!! lol

We had a mole in one of our veg patches last summer. The dogs know not to venture into it, but after about a month of losing a plant a day, I decided the only organic way of getting the little blighter would be to set the dogs on him. We went to the beach and came back to something resembling a scene from Curse of the Were Rabbit. There were vegetables and plants all over the place, holes in the ground, two happy but very dirty dogs. They hadn't got the mole, but had had fun trying.
