Thank you Brisket. I guess I am showing my age!! I am almost there and the winning post is in sight - so I hope it will not be very long more before you see this wonderful Forum dog, doing what he loves most. You would think that would be alerting me - he does that beautifully - BUT once I have seen to the meds - there is a price to pay!!! He has three mice - one white, one brown and one grey. He has a small soccer ball and a small rugby ball. He has the stuffed Rottweiler that was given to me while judging in New Zealand , he has a raggy (which he loves).
DANTE decides which of his "stash comes into play after being such a good dog. Not always do the expected stash appear. It can be my slippers, my jacket etc. so I have to be very much on my toes so as I can meet him head on.
I am delighted to say that after many experiments, I have found his weakness.
Mature cheddar cheese!!!
He is a very caring little man and as soon as I say "That is MINE" he brings it to me, unharmed and gives a kiss as if to say he is sorry.
He is still only a baby at eight months and I have to strike the right balance between work and play. My beloved Remy had been booked to appear on a programme dealing with dogs of this nature. Sadly she passed away before recording - but Dante received a request to appear in her place. We have two weeks to make our decision.
Photos following SOON!!!
