Thread: SERIES 2A in WA - 109 LWB FARM UTE

We found this Series 2A on a farm in Beverley, WA and are currently sorting the logistics of bringing her down to Perth so we can start working on her. I've wanted to start a thread on here but haven't managed to get my photos posting properly. I'd like to just browse and select photos from my hard drive but they're upside down or sideways. In the meantime I've started a blog at the link below and would love some feedback. The two photos on here I've posting using the URL address from my blog. Thanks to Cap for that information.

"Bev" the Series2A Landy (A farmgirl goes to the city): MEET BEV THE FARM GIRL, AND US

Hi Angus,

Unfortunately, he wriggles out of the purchased dog vest we use in the Colorado for the trip down to the farm. I made this one so I could add a pocket to take my old iPhone for tracking. He's unpredictable, one minute he's so good and then the next he just nicks off, even when were out in the paddocks with the other dogs - he's the only one that can fit through the fences too. I've resorted to using a long training lead with a rubber disc on the end so you can loop it through and it doesn't work it's way undone. I've also used a peg out line which is shorter but easier to work with as it doesn't tangle like a canvas lead. Both work well with him if he is close enough that he can see you and feel like he's with you. He has room to roam but can't run off. I wouldn't trust him not to chew through it if he got desperate enough. If he did that I would resort to a stainless steel line. I picked him up from the pound for my 88 year old mum, he was picked up wandering the streets and not microchipped or registered, now I know why. She passed and we inherited him 2 yrs ago. I would hate for him to disappear and not know his fate or worse he gets hit by a car and lying injured.

cheers
Veronica

We had to resort to two dog harnesses and two leads to keep her around when we were painting the axel last weekend. She still almost wriggled free and we have to take a break from working on the Landy to put her in the house yard. Perhaps we should try a hi vis vest.
Cheers
