When I arrived I was the youngest in the household. Sadly, as I write, I am an only dog having lost by buddies over the last few years. I had hoped to take over breeding from Shadow. Unfortunately I have a heart murmur and although the specialist says it should not affect my life, our rules say no dog with a heart murmur can breed, so that was that. The rule is partly to protect future generations of the breed, but also for my own welfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"137\" data-src=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156.jpg 640w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156-386x290.jpg 386w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_4156-193x145.jpg 193w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" data-id=\"135\" data-src=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-135 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359.jpg 640w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359-386x290.jpg 386w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359-290x218.jpg 290w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2359-193x145.jpg 193w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My breeder called me &#8216;Wild Wilma&#8217; but I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s altogether fair. Ok, so I worked out how to dismantle the crate in my new home in five minutes flat, could clear the dog gates and am told I&#8217;m too bright for my own good, but I&#8217;m not wild. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-src=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2977.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-136 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2977.jpg 480w, https:\/\/torfheidekennels.co.uk\/entlebucher\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_2977-225x300.jpg 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 480px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 480\/640;\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m easy to find. Wherever my human is that is where I will be. She and I are very close and neither of us functions well without the other. Where she goes, I go. I go in the car, on the train anything as long as we&#8217;re together. Unlike most of my breed I don&#8217;t dislike strangers, or it didn&#8217;t before COVID. Sadly, too long apart from random people followed by a long period of ill health, really didn&#8217;t do me any good.  Other than that, Mum says I&#8217;m pretty nearly perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2025: I&#8217;m not an only dog anymore. As you&#8217;ll read from Pebbles&#8217; page, I got my own puppy in December last year. That&#8217;s the last time I&#8217;m asking for a puppy for Christmas &#8211; she&#8217;s crazy.
