Good Morning!

We have a new puppy to add the The Maxwell Pack. He's called Max 💙. And he's a wee cracker 🔥. ( its my father in laws) but I'm sure he will be coming to the field for lots of fun off lead and to start his training.

Having a secure field when you have a puppy is priceless!

⛔️ Safe & fully secure
🐕 No the dogs in the field as distractions
💧 always fresh clean water to keep them hydrated, as its alot of work being a puppy!

Spaces available for today

📷 The photoshoot on Sun 28th Sept still has a couple of spaces! Please send me a message if you would like a slot. ( see previous post for details )

It's National Dog Day here in the U.K today ❤️💙.

I love my 5 girls so much - I couldn't imagine not having them all.
Owning Labradors is the best feeling in the world 🌎 🙌.
Easy to train, always happy, great with children, people and most dogs, not fussy eaters and of course very loyal.

Post a pic of your dog and why you choose that breed .
Or was it written in the stars 🌟 and you were chosen by the dog 🐕.

Below are a few dogs I met when I was at The local Game Fair a couple of weeks ago.

Remember to give them all a huge hug 🫂 and tell them how much you love them 💖

On Sunday I had the pleasure of attending Springholm Dog Show. Well done to all the dogs and their owners.

A bit of Art 🎨 Work to brighten up the field is finished Thanks to My Aunty.

The dogs painted are all regulars and their Pawrents have supported me from Day1!

It's a HUGE Thank you to them for their continued support over the last 5 years 🙏.

Hope you all like it. 😬

Running the field is constant, there's always something to fix or something to buy but I love what I do and I couldn't have imagined meeting so many wonderful people and their dogs - I am truly grateful.

Work on the wall as you go through the Customer Entrance Gate starts this morning 🌄.

Scaffolding and railings are up so please use the large gate beside the shop.

If your dog is nervous or reactive please inform myself or the person in the field and she will happily come out for a rest and a cuppa ☕️.

It's going to be hot 🔥 today and tomorrow, be mindful and ensure your dog is 😎 cool and if the Paddling pool needs filled up, just let me know.

Thanks, Emma 🐾

What better way to spend a Sunny 🌞 Sunday ?

Its my second day at Galloway Country Fair , the sun is shining, my stand is stocked up and customers are already here.

Had a great day yesterday and I'm sure it will be even busier today 🤞.

It was so lovely to see so many of my friends & customers come to say "Hello" ( it was actually the dogs that sniffed me out first - the treats...not me 🤣)

And of course - I couldn't have done this without the support of my husband - Greig. 🤗

Huge thank you to Emma at Kirkgunzeon Canine for your order! Please go visit them at Galloway Country Fair on Saturday for all your Dogs meats and treats 🐕🐾

Goose and I walked the field last night and she was not happy!

5 new holes that have been dug up. These can be a trip hazard for others using the field - so PLEASE do not let you dog dig holes in the field 🙏.

Guess what I'll be doing after I finish in the shop??
Barrowing soil from the other field into the dog field to fill up the holes - Thanks 🤣.

Keep an eye on your dogs at all times, I know dogs do like to dig BUT not in the field - let them do it in your garden .

I have children, elderly and of course lots of dogs that visit the field. If a dog is running and doesn't see the hole they could Injure themselves. 🐾

Please be more mindful 🙏
