What a fabulous picture - they are both just so photogenic. How are you coping with this virus, hoping that you and the family are managing to stay safe and well. Its hectic at home currently, both of us are still working full time as it stands plus we've got Eddie running about and Roker to deal w...

My wife took this photo of the pair of them having a chat the other day....

Roker really kept me on my toes the first couple of years....now he's 6 to be honest i can manage!!!

Thanks folks and i'll try not to leave it as long for the next update!!

Anna, she is definitely still an Eddie...we asked her if she was called Edith the other day and she said no!!

Hi all...great to see this place is still going even if its not as lively as it once was. Its not the only forum i've used that is succumbing somewhat to the likes of Facebook etc which many just find easier to use. Thought i'd give a Roker update, he's now 6 and a very good big brother to his siste...

In terms of Northumberland we've stopped in the Links Hotel in Seahouses and they've always been great with the dog. Great beach walk from Seahouses to Bamburgh ending up round the back of the castle. The Bamburgh Castle Hotel in Seahouses, confusingly, is also dog friendly and very nice. Sadly the ...

Yep, done the beach at Dunstanburgh as well which is fantastic. A guy i used to play cricket with is now living in Embleton so visited him that day as well, cracking pub in the village which was of course dog friendly. Not that you would have known he was there, after two hours on the beach he was s...

She idolises him and thinks he's amazing often ending with a big hug draped over his back....Roker takes it all in his stride and just lets it all happen. He's so laid back its unbelievable....until he's in an open field with a ball then its a different story! We often find him asleep on the landing...

We're off to Robin Hoods Bay this Easter with friends stopping at Meadowbeck Cottages again which i've mentioned on a post here before. They are on the main road between Scarborough and Whitby just near the turn off for Robin Hoods Bay so numerous beaches not far away and I always find the area real...

Still popping in to check on things.....Roker just had his 5 and a half birthday, taking life in his stride mind you!!



Even if he does get bossed around by his little sister!!

Its been a while mainly because we had a baby last October and i spent most of 2018 not working and at home with our daughter Edith and Roker. Hard to believe that i started this thread over 5 years ago now!! We now have a 5yr old Roker who is a great big brother to Eddie and very patient with her a...

I asked a similar question when getting our Doodle and the answer was that the size doesnt really matter....you may find the bigger dogs are less able to walk further due to their bigger bodies etc. Prior to getting Roker i occasionally walked my brother in laws Bichon and she loved long walks. I wo...

Can vouch for the getting a pup in winter comment...we picked Roker up in December and i spent most of then through Jan and Feb stood in the back yard cold and wet, wasnt much fun!! As for temperament, a lot of it can be what you put into it as well. Roker was definitely lively, probably a nice way ...

I've had an Insignia estate for the last 3 and a half years and its great for lugging Roker around. Big flat boot area plus mine has an automatic boot so i just open it and Roker runs up and jumps in. The flat load area is great for using as a bench to sit down and change footwear etc. I've transpor...

Roker was classed by the breeder, Coniston Doodles in Lincolnshire, as medium, they said he'd be about 17 to 19 inches tall and they were spot on. I think they've done a number of litters so had a good idea what they'd be getting. This said some friends of ours decided to get a medium sized Doodle a...
