    Very nice @Victoria are they just for collecting or is he going to use them? and thank you about barley and Berry.
    Yes they are different, Barley is from a working line that originates from the US, he's darker and more slender.
    Berry is from a more show line should I say, he doesn't pick objects up like barley and heavily built from a English line. When we go out Barley will pick up anything thats soft like the rug or some bedding that we put down, Berry doesn't do that sort of thing but he doesn't retreave well. But they can't all be the same.

      Morning Logan. He buys and sells musical instruments as a hobby but these are for his collection ... he has take over the office/guest room and other spaces! No, he cannot play any instrument although he makes a lot of noise at times!!!

      Do Barley and Berry go out in the garden or just for their walks?

        Berry
        That's great about your hubby.

        Barley and Berry don't go out in the garden, they go on more walks.
        We used to have Willow and Berry is a lot like him but not the same breeder. This was willow, he was a lovely boy and I did train him well with the retrieve and have to say they need to be trained to retrieve properly at a young age. One of the breeders used a stuffed pheasant wing, she used her dogs to retrieve the real thing.

          Willow is a lovely colour. I thought perhaps the boys "helped" you in the garden. So, do they stay indoors other than when out walkies?

          :heehee: Thank you, I didn't think that he would have a dark coat, his parents were light coated. No I wouldn't let them help me, they'll be digging holes where I didn't want them and yes they stay indoors when I'm gardening.

                  Oh, Bella is such a Beauty. Look at that fur! Do you brush her daily? Hoe much does she weigh? She has big feet and the triangular face like my Van.:cat-kittyandsmiley:

                    Thank you @Upsydaisy and @Victoria ... :smile:

                    Yes she is brushed every day and sometimes twice a day, she demands it ! She rolls over on her back for me to do her tummy. If I didn't brush her she'd get lots of knots and it is difficult to remove them.

                    No idea :heehee: but she isn't fat, she looks bigger than she actually is because of the thick fur.

                    Yes and also big bones in her chest, it's quite surprising how big her chest bone is. It helps her MEOW loudly at me when she wants something :cat-kittyandsmiley:

                          Barley waiting for some turkey. I've just sliced it all up to put in the freezer, they've already had a bit while i was doing it.
