Done 3 weeks away this May. 13 year old Terrier/Spaniel went to my non dog type friend, cost me a days graft in his garden. My 11 year old Mali stayed with my sister in-law at my place. My well worn 9 year old lurcher went to a vegetarian friend of a friend, cost me £300 and they absolutely loved her, said she was the most well behaved dog they have ever met. The 3/8 5/8 Terrier Spaniel stayed with her brother in a friends house.

Finally my two 18 month old Terrier/Spaniel  bitches had to stay in my friends working dog kennels, along with 48 Spaniels, various security dogs and half a dozen Doberman breeding program kinda things. It was a whole new experience for them, being as they have lived indoors most of their lives learning life skills etc. I was concerned about what this experience would do to them, but being well bred well reared bitches, they did fine. That cost me another £300 as a drink for the kennel hands. The bitches had to stay there because they are full of fire and nobody I know either had room or was knowledgeable enough to look after them.

So my 6 dogs took a whole heap of carefull placing, a small chunk of money and a couple of days of running about to sort all of that out. Feck me, what we do for our dogs.

Anyone beat that? 

Obviously, there's a whole heap of do's and don'ts. Especially as a few places are non working dog people. By the way, none of my dogs fight.

There was only 1 incident and that was with the Mali dog. My sister in laws Kiwi, ex sheep farming husband was walking him and to say he was a bit shocked was an understatement. To be fair and considering the incident, he took it well. He had Huntaway's many moons ago, so very different dogs.

Edited to add. the Mali/Bull Lurcher that stayed with the non working dog vegetarians worried me a fair bit. Keeps ya mind on edge eh?

My daughter is the only person I trust with the dogs, most calm person and can control a pack of pig dogs. I was really pissed off when she had her own family and the mrs and I couldn't go away together, selfish cow, lol. Joking, she really is a great daughter.
