Good doggie makes a family complete...

ETA: Nevermind. Foooouuund it!

Negative space always messes w/m'head.

You can always tell the married dogs...

In the midst of political, economic and social turmoil, here's something to warm the cockles of your heart...

A dog breeder has offered hope to Britain's most endangered dog breed with a litter of 10 healthy puppies.

Irish Red and White Setters used to be the pet dog of choice in the UK, but they have fallen out of favour amid a craze for pugs, cockapoos and labradoodles in recent years.

In 2019 only 39 new Setter puppies were registered, compared with 35,347 Labradors.

They are currently bottom of the Kennel Club's list of vulnerable breeds, but with Ve Callaghan's litter, there could be a brighter future in store for the K9s.

Ms Callaghan, of Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, has already found homes for all 10 dogs.

She is one of the only remaining breeders who deals in Setters and her litter represents a quarter of the puppies born last year.

The Irish Red and White Setter isn't a breed I'm familiar with and I don't recall ever seeing one.

Irish (Red) Setters are now pretty thin on the ground and English Setters are about as rare as hen's teeth.

Plenty more pics here and a video of puppy riotous assembly:

I know it is a broad brush and probably not fair, but the Irish Setters (which are Red and Whites with the white bred out) I have known didn't have two IQ's to rub together.
I detect a vacuity in the eyes of these little cuties as well.

When I was a kid one of my 4-H leaders told me he had to keep a close eye on his Irish Setter because the dog would run itself to death. I don't know if he was repeating old wives tales or real knowledge.

Hungarian Vizslas at Crufts Dog Show in Birmingham on Friday last.

By coincidence we looked after a neighbour's Vizsla on the same day.

I hope it was happier running about in the woods with me and getting very muddy in the process than it would have been at Crufts.

I always feel sorry for show dogs. I might be wrong (it's been known) but I don't think that they have the best lives.

Some must be treated better than others, but overall I think you are very right.

Properties, assets, investments, but not pets.
The best nutritious diet, first class medical care, but none of your french fries, or a lick of your ice cream. :(

This looks like a pet...

Video opens but won't play

Feed all the puppies...
