Well, Reggie's recall has been 100% perfect until today when I (stupidly, especially with no bacon with me) let him off lead in the woods with Jack. They both tried to get some other dogs to chase them but were too fast of course. They then found something to chase and disappeared off. Reggie was back in a couple of minutes and was never far as I could hear the bells both wear. Jack nearly gave me a heart attack as although from time to time I could see or hear him, he was far too interested in what he was chasing and his recall is only spot on for bacon. Reggie will come back when called for whatever treats I happen to have. I think I spoke too soon about his huge improvement in quiet rather than barking hellos at other dogs. We had a few near perfect days in a row, and actually on Boxing Day had walked in a very busy area and he saw probably more than 20 dogs (way more than usual as it's very quiet round here) and only once he barked to a dog just as we were leaving the common. But after near perfection, today and yesterday he has barked at about half the dogs we've seen. Though we haven't seen many and when he was off lead meeting a few dogs in the woods earlier he didn't bark at all. Here he is on our walk yesterday afternoon: And sleeping earlier today: And now:

How is Reggie doing Reggie is doing great. He's meeting with a lovely family on Thursday. We have our fingers and paws crossed that all goes well and he will be moving to his forever home with them! I'll miss him awfully, but I'm so happy such a wonderful home has been found for him. He's been such a pleasure to have in our home. It's been wonderful seeing his confidence grow and his cheeky and funny personality come out. He's such a loving hound with the sweetest, most gentle nature. His weight has continued to increase and he is now 24kg. He has also grown a little taller while he's been here. He's come on so well with greeting other dogs quietly and does best in busy areas where he's been perfect, most recently on Saturday in Hampstead Heath where he must have seen around a hundred dogs as it was so packed! He is brilliant with dogs of all sizes and met the tiniest Min Pin I have ever seen on Saturday. We also met a stunning Borzoi and so many other breeds and crosses - some lovely Lurchers too, including one who ran over from his non-Lurcher pack to see Reggie and my Jack as if he recognised he was related to them, it was so sweet!
