The Wilds I Walk

Favourite spot at the moment for great walks, off the West Highland Way near Drymen. With Gemma the Cocker Spaniel on the lead, Skye the Collie, Alfa the German Wired Haired Pointer, Jude the Lab’ and my two Viszlas Holly and Ivy. We’ve had winter there for the past three weeks or so with snow over the ankles. The season is a changing and we were back to good old fashioned West of Scotland conditions of low grey cloud, drizzle and a temperature struggling to get above 10 degrees. Explored a new path today, and was pleased that all the dogs responded well to a rider on horseback (shot into the forest away from them)…. hoorah!!! Welcomed the “new girl” Alfa as well who fitted in a treat, while having a ball exploring the woods., She made me feel good too by always coming back when called.

A Wild Side Blog


Trying my hand at a Blog for the first time. We were up near Drymen today enjoying what felt like a change in the season. It’s been cold for so long now that I’d almost forgotten what it felt like when the temperature rose into double figures. The snow has all but melted off the paths we’ve been taking of late, but Gemma still got a roll about in the odd patch or three. Vito found every Stygian patch of bog, stretch of mud, length of puddle and the odd stream to cool himself off. Afraid the star of the show today was another Viszla (gaspers!), the 13 week old Boris who stole the show on cuteness.

Testimonials

First of all Jacqui is a dog lover and has a fantastic attachment to all her dogs. She first took one of our dogs almost 10 years ago and he absolutely loved going with Jacqui. He was always at the door waiting excitedly for her because he always got a good long walk in lots of interesting wild places. We have never regretted using Wild Side Walks and would recommend her to anyone. Professional, reliable, trustworthy – Jacqui knows and understands dogs and their needs (a real live dog whisperer ?). She is absolutely brilliant, can’t thank her enough.
