After Rally O training we let all the dogs loose for a tear around. There's a spunky little Bichon there who either thinks he is a Greyhound or wants to be a Greyhound. He's usually found in the thick of everything or following the Greyhounds around. I took my camera tonight and got a bit of him in action but missed the best bit at the finish when Beryl decided to do some laps of the area while it was just about empty and this little guy was flat out after her doing his best to either catch up or cut her off! It was a crack up to see:-)
At the beginning of the video is also Shannon, a blue GAP girl who is off to her new home tomorrow and further on is Cilla, a black brindle GAP girl, who is still in foster care with Fatima and Rachel for a couple more days. And little Lucy is there as well. More Greyhounds than any other breed of dog! Harry had left by then:-)
I was very cautious about letting Beryl off leash with this guy and also his toy white Poodle friend when I first started taking her along to Rally O a few weeks ago but she's fine and really enjoys hanging with other breeds of dogs and it's very good for her socialisation. When she's had enough she comes back to me and we wander off and do some silly stuff:-) She loves getting out and about.
I had two instructors tonight tell me how she's going so much better than Frankie .... who has the attention span of a gnat at class, lol. And apart from teaching her to sit and down that's all the training she's had! So I really must pull my socks up and do some training with both of them.

SO CUTE!!!!!!! But then , Beryl is cute any time :-)
Love the glimpses of Cilla and Shannon too :-)
I didn't realise that was Shannon at the start, I thought it was Cilla, lol! It's great to see them all being so good with the other dogs:-)
that is very cute! The Bichon has a good attitude too :) Barbie likes little ones like that too, she isn't good if they squeal though. :P
That is so fantastic that Beryl gets along well with the white and fluffy ones! I really must follow your lead and get Kassa into a formal obedience class some time. We train quite a bit but it is very ad hoc.
I think Bunny gets a kick out of playing with smaller dogs. She incites them to near riots at the dog park by running along the fence line and taunting them over on their side. Sometimes I worry a little with smaller dogs around the girls because the little dogs don't ever seem to be willing to back off. Beryl looked so cute with her curled up tail!
