A very reliable source has told me he is a bit disobedient, licks his balls, rubs his arse along the carpet, sniffs arses and shites in the garden…………...The dog is coming along fine thought. 👍🐶🐶

Are there any trout in that river Mike?

Certainly are Joe, I surveyed, electro fished, that very stretch on a few occasions during my career, and always found an abundance of Brown Trout. They are not big in size, you may find the odd 7oz fish, but most are smaller, but very good numbers. 👍

There are no migratory fish, Salmon or Sea Trout, on the upper reaches of the Mardle due to the geography downstream, but there is some Spawning on the lower stretch.

It can be surprising just what these little streams can hold, about 10 minutes from me there is a very small stream about 8 feet wide at its maximum with less than 2 feet in depth in the summer and that holds chub that probably go to a pound along with a few American crays
 
New member of the family arrived today😁
I know in recent months I've been talking about GSD and GSP type dogs, but an opportunity arose 3 days ago, and I took it.

So this my border collie, Merlin 😊
He's 10 weeks old, from working stock and just adorable 😍
Had him since 10 am today.

It’s a good job that you love walking. Once he’s got recall and is ok around sheep he will be able to run rings around you off lead all day. Border collies are one of my favourite breeds, once they‘ve decided that they’ll do what you want of them they're quick and eager to learn. We get quite a few through as rescues.

Never had a puppy before Mike, so it's all new to me🤷‍♂️ Only ever had adult dogs that I've rescued. So I might be pestering you for some tips in the very near future 😉
