Head Collars

08 May 2011

Head Collars for Swissies: It is quite alarming to hear that outside our breed club, Swissy owners are being recommended totally the wrong type of Head Collar.

The Eye Specialist confirms this also because he is fed up of seeing so many eye injuries because of other incorrect types.

All the lovely comments about the dogs and the booth decoration. Everyone that attended said it was great to see all the health screens in place and temperament tests before breeding and that all the pups are reared in the family home not outside in kennels or stables and the lifetime support given.
