Sadly, they have now gone and we have always had two dogs so, yes, when Molly does go we will definately give another dog a home and here in france there are certainly enough to choose from on various rescue sites. You said that you rarely go back to UK now, we have only been here for two years and although when we lived in England very little happened for years. We moved here and three months after we arrived our eldest daughter became pregnant again, our eldest grandaughter decided on a date for her wedding, our youngest son is getting married the end of this month and another baby due late September. We seem to be in UK more than we are here and it costs somuch each time we go back but we cannot miss all these family occasions. Serves us right for having four children and hoards of Granchildren.    Report

Hi Christine, Just got the message I tried to send returned.  However, we would be delighted to offer a home to this Harley (Ours is a Harley as well!!)   If you send your email address I will forward some photos of our Harls and the field here. Please could you contact Madame for us and see what the situation is?  We have always had big dogs (two danes at one time) so its not an issue for us but we would give him a wonderful life here in the Orne, one of family and companionship where he will be happy again. Look forward to hearing from you Christine.  Merci bien!   Sorry for hijack folks!  Back to topic now    Report

That's wonderful news Framboise.  Sorry folks for butting in on the Cockers, this is for a Dogue de Bordeaux, but we'll now move elsewhere and I'll give you my email direct.  Can't believe your dog is called Harley too, I forgot that !  Framboise please edit and delete your post taking out your phone number and post code.  I've got it.   animalaidsaintaubin.monsite.orange.fr/ Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report

Sorry, didnt mean to offend.    Report

Her temperament is unbelievably good-natured.  She's even good and gentle with young children who don't always behave well with animals.  Believe me, I wasn't a dog fan before I had her but now I really wouldn't want to be without her to brighten my life.    Report
