Thanks for all the kind words guys.
Good for you. So many rescue dogs need good homes and yet people spend a fortune on a pedigree pup.This is the new mutt.
Had her a couple of weeks now, she's a rescue from Hungary, very timid, soft as a brush with us in the house, lovely temperament, out on the lead though she's a bit mad, barks and lunges at people, we take her out on a 50 ft training lead in the field behind us, she's clever, gets recall commands ect but very barky with other dogs /people.
Not vicious, just sniffs the people who will approach.
Missus is like, well we need a halti, tried that, nope.. Ok well we need a training harness, no luck with that , right we need to mix her with other dogs..
So we've started socialising her at doggy daycare at Waggy Warehouse in Shaw and we've got a dog behaviourist coming next week..
Not a one purchase buy..
So I'm getting my little mig at last.

I spent the better part of a week, at night in woodland over a few hundred acres tracking a Romanian rescue that had been let out of the house after an attempted burglary. We managed to trap him in a live trap eventually but it was a massive effortGood for you. So many rescue dogs need good homes and yet people spend a fortune on a pedigree pup.
I saved a rescue dog a few years ago. She was wandering around on a busy dual carriageway. Fortunately a 40mph one. I did an illegal U turn and parked in a bus stop but she typically crossed over. I followed on foot and she was in a supermarket car park. Obviously lost. Took my belt off as a temporary lead. She was very happy to jump into my car.
Turns out something had spooked her in the local park and she bolted but took wrong turning for her home.
Lady was so greatful to get her back. Romanian Street dog originally.
Might be a good idea to get a GPS tracker they cheap enough.
People like you are awesome!I spent the better part of a week, at night in woodland over a few hundred acres tracking a Romanian rescue that had been let out of the house after an attempted burglary. We managed to trap him in a live trap eventually but it was a massive effort
I had a severe sense of humour failure about 3 days in when a well meaning Facebook group sent a “tracker” out to help. I turned up as she was organising a line search to “drive the dog towards a capture point” the problem was she was from Kent and had no clue about the land, they would have driven him over a cliff on a fell. Same group advised the owner to go into the woods at night to see if her scent attracted the dog. Issue being she is disabled with limited mobility. I found her at 2am and it took another hour and a half to get her about a mile home. Well meaning doesn’t always helpPeople like you are awesome!
There was a similar case near Swansea last year before the first lockdown.
Saw it myself. A corgi came running out of a local motorway services. down the slip road onto the M4. Loads of people chasing her. Would have been funny except for all the traffic etc. Miracle there wasn't a serious accident.
Apparently people had met up in the services to collect the dog.
dog was missing for 5 days in freezing weather. Heavily wooded area. I spent quite a while looking for her myself. A team arrived to live trap and fair play they caught her none the worse for her ordeal.
