Tony - if the pictures are to large, either in physical pixel dimension or to detailed as in dpi then the forum software will not cope with converting them.  The ideal size for the forum is about 680 pixels at 72dpi.  If your camera is set to print quality pictures then it is likely to be somewhere up in the 2400  pixels at 300dpi.

The other thing the software doesn't like is things like '&' in the file name.

If you cannot convert them email them to me and I will sort it for you.

Yes, me too, I would say 7 or 8 maybe.  Lovely to see Ted again - must be a few years since you've been at Le Weekend, Tony.

I must say these rescue dogs are a credit to you...kind and genuine dog lovers who are willing to give some quality years to an older dog.
That goes for Mugi too , as when his French owner rang( when I was involved with rescue) I did not think in a million years he would end up as a shooting dog and so loved.  Laughing
Most people looking for a rescue tend to draw the line at 6 or 7 top. Crying or Very sad
So, from me; you give back faith to these dogs and I think you are just...wonderful

Long-time members of the Club may remember Tony Sweatman, a founder member of BCGB. At that time he was breeding and training Brittanys. A few years ago he switched to Labradors as being more suitable for working on the Island.
He is a near neighbour and this morning I introduced Suki to him.
He liked the look of her and thought her to be well-bred. He suggested that she was likely to be 4-5 rather than the 7-8 years estimated by the RSPCA. Her light muzzle makes her look older. This is not 'greying' but the lighter coloured hair to be seen elsewhere on her body. Anyway, does it matter? I tell her she's only as old as she feels!

Or, as Groucho Marx said "you're only as old as the woman you feel"  Shocked   Terribly non PC but still funny  Laughing

Seriously now, like Patricia, I thought she may be older (6+ to maybe 8 Question ) but you are the one she lives with and are in a much better position than us.  She looks lovely and I'm sure Ted will love having her share his wonderful home  Smile

Tony, I remember Gaele Sweatman well. She was a lovely lady and last time I saw her was at one of the Brimingham shows if I remember rightly...Still got a photo of her alongside the founder members of the BCGB. Funny looking back...everyone looked so young!

Yes, I remember Gaile and Tony too.  Nice people, wonder if they have any Brittanys now? I missed out on the photo, couldn't leave the kids to come all that way south as they were quite young (and three dogs too)
