Look what Basil is getting for Xmas

The Schnauzer puppy stage goes by so quickly, so make sure you get lots of pictures and make sure that you share them with the rest of us. Bristle noses, floppy ears and wagging tails are all welcome.

And here is Basil showing him where to look through the hole in the fence to see the cat that visits next door. Apparently they eye each other up through the hole. My neighbor said she looked through to see what the cat was looking at and there was this eye looking back at her as Basil had his face up to the fence.

Hi - hope Basil and Percy are well :) just out of interest, what puppy bag do you have? We've just had it confirmed by our breeder that we have been chosen to be the owners of one of their pup's and I'm looking at ways at carrying little'un around when Keith is out on his walks.

Hi Vikki
what puppy bag do you have?
It isn't a doggy bag, but a shoulder bag from Healthy Back Bag co. I'm not sure he would put up with going in it now! I think one of the pushchairs would be useful as I find it difficult to get Basil out on long enough walks at the moment and Percy would love to come out more, but has been over doing it a bit as they will play rough and tumble for ages if I let them. I have found a play pen great and they both take turns in it sometimes.

He is bigger than Basil now, but Basil is the boss...They get along very well.

Not a great pic but one of them enjoying a walk in the garlic flowers on the Gower a few weeks ago.

There are some more pics here of the two of them on our recent hol. Such a lovely place to spend a week walking and exploring.

I think we need lots more photos from some of the other pups. Feels like there hasn't been enough lately!

Hi,

I love the pics but wanted to ask about the harness Percy has on (hopefully I got that right, it's the blue harness) - a couple of questions :-)

Where did you get the harness? It looks good and sturdy, ones we have/I have seen, have not looked as good. Also, do they rub? Two different types of harness we have used on Oscar seems to have rubbed his fur down a bit on the back, so it looks a bit odd. Maybe this is expected if he has something rubbing against his fur when walking on harness.

Thank you.

Hi Mike.
I got the harness at a dog event, but this is the one
https://fetch.co.uk/ruffwear-front-rang ... -274534011" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Fetch do a new customer discount of 15% I think so a good deal.
It is expensive but very worth it. I have the size s and it fits them both (6.8 and 7.3kg). The smaller size would also fit but I like the longer top piece of this size even though it is in about the smallest adjustment.. It doesn't seem to rub and I keep it quite lose and it hasn't caused much in the way of tangles, but every coat is different.
This colour would look great on Oscar.

Thanks, these schnauzers are such fun to take pics of. They have so much character!
