Miss Lynn 160 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 My name is Lynn. I should have introduced myself months ago when I first joined the site, for that I do apologize, but life has been busy with family, and traveling most of the spring/summer/fall, and has only just slowed down now that the holidays have passed. Within the last year I have purchased a house and a bit of land which I hope this spring will start to be a retirement home for myself. I hope to create a small "farm like" environment, and in the process become a LOT more knowledgeable about country living, DIY country house projects, and much more. I would really like to become better acquainted with the Living Off The Land & Game Cooking section of the forum and the members who would be willing to share their knowledge with me. In the upcoming months I will be seeking help in acquiring a companion in the form of a dog, and I am sure there are many here that could lend some sage advise. Actually, if no one would mind I would like to wander through other sections of the forum reading threads that peek my interest like the wildlife photography section, the fishing section, and others. I am glad to be here, and I hope that somewhere in my aging brain I have some shred of knowledge or wisdom I could share that could benefit my fellow members. Thank you for taking the time to read my intro. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miss Lynn 160 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 Welcome, an enjoyable introduction, and I look forward to seeing your posts, especially any pictures you can share of your new homestead and surrounding views. Is it in Wales or Canada ? It is in North Wales, just outside of Llangollen. Far enough away from Llangollen to enjoy the peace of the countryside, but close enough to walk into town to spend Saturday afternoons at my favorite cafe and bookstore, which easily becomes a joyful habit.

Miss Lynn 160 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Lynn. As above..You may have noticed that the guys on here like picture stories (mainly because they can't read haha). Looking forward to your adventures especially the new dog. Any idea what you will have?. Jok. The dog acquisition is truly a dilemma. I would like to have a Weimaraner or a Vizsla, or both, as a youngster my family had both breeds, but my heart is leaning more towards a Border Terrier AND a Parson Russell Terrier. I have read quite a lot on both breeds and believe they would make good companions for me. I think that raising them together from pups would make for an easier introduction for them both rather than getting adult dogs who already have their "way about them", if you know what I mean. I am not sure though whether I would want females, or males, or a combination thereof, and I am not too sure I would want to use them for breeding purposes. I would also like to have them travel with me when circumstances allow, and to be comfortable with it, another hurdle to conquer when the time comes. So, there we have it, most likely a Border Terrier AND a Parson Russell Terrier. Any suggestions, sharing of the knowledge of the breeds, tips on the selection of a pup, and the raising and care thereof, would be truly appreciated Lynn Edited January 20, 2017 by Miss Lynn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
