Yeah I guess I just haven't seen many with that mix of colours, but I think it looks great anyway.

Also not surprised the dog walker stayed for 2 hours instead of 1 with him, i'm more surprised she wasn't still there playing with him when you got home

come on T7 - youve been hanging around this thread for long enough.

its time to take the stubborn, pointy eared plunge!

[2thumbs]

Wow Finlay is absolutely gorgeous! You must be over the moon with him. Tri colour is my favourite on a bully.

Lots of fun and frustration coming your way very soon

You know I would if the time was right....and right now, its not the time.....

There will be more dogs in my life, but just not right now.

Purdey is your stero white ebt.

So is loving doing an impression of a polar bear or furry white shark in the snow at the moment.

A bit of an update on Finlay... He's now 16 weeks and has gone from 6.9kgs at 12 weeks to 10kgs at 15 weeks..

He's found himself a new perch now that he can get on the sofa..



And has a new best friend... He had a tendency to jump up at my daughter when we first got him, now he's like her shadow.





And if he's in the car and we leave to pop into a shop, this is his lookout post..



And my favourite recent picture

[pidsy]

He looks like he’s coming on beautifully!!

Socialisation is key with bull terriers cos they are such people dogs.

Keep it up!

Wilson has a very red foot. We've seen this with our previous Bullies and have assumed it's grass related. He won't stop licking it, which seems to make it worse plus the slurping noise drives us mad!
Any suggestions from the Bully massive?

[pidsy]

Grass seed in between the toes is common. They can get right in there and pretty much embed themselves in the flesh.

Summer is a pain for bullies - Lou will need piriton soon for her hayfever.

Thank you. I'll have a close look tonight band perhaps soak it in warm water. It's only the one foot at the moment.

Another update.. well he's growing at a rate of knots, that's for sure.. definitely getting better on a lead, although much prefers being off it - when he is, he's never more than 6 - 10 feet from us... and he seems to have really made a bond with my daughter who's been with us this week... I'll let the pictures do the talking on that particular subject...

This was how he started - watching TV on my lap



Then he moved over to Lili



Bit not happy with how close he was..



Close... but not close enough...


Which turned into...



Lili goes back to her mum tonight... I think Finlay is going to miss her...

Very cute pics and love Finlays colours also

[Superhoop]

Well it seems that having an EBT is quite an infectious thing... We're off to see another litter on Sunday (see, but definitely going to buy is what we have been telling ourselves thus far)

Which basically means Finlay is very likely to be getting a little play mate... Watch this space. It even has a name already, well almost, as we can't decide between Bruce or Milo

Bruce!


Duncan was going to be Bruce but (obviously) he ended up as Dunk.

where is the new one from?

[Turn7]

Id say Milo, but then Im biased......

[smudgerebt]

Bullie in local dog rescue (Manchester).

Dumped and tied up to the gate.

Rang yesterday and it was having an op.

6 (ish) years old.

Female.

If you want to rehome etc I can post the details?

(A few Bullie rescue have been informed already)

I already have a rescue Bullie but might be tempted.

[Superhoop]

Well we went on Saturday to “see” the litter...

Finlay walked in, immediately got on with all 7 pups in the litter, tolerated them nipping at him, and seemed to take a liking to one of the two pups we went to see... that was one of the things we found really encouraging.. and were hoping we’d see..

So we’ll be picking up EBT No2 on the 23rd.

Meet Milo..

[pidsy]

Jesus Christ!

That makes me want another one!! They are the cutest puppies!!

Which breeder is he from?
