In this issue we explore whether the traits we associate with certain breeds are always as fixed as we assume, before looking at steadiness, self-regulation and the choices our dogs make. Prevention is also central to this issue, we discuss how early strategies can help dogs avoid developing unwanted habits.
We also step into the unfamiliar world of lifts and consider how dogs may experience these everyday spaces, before turning to a subject many owners fear: discovering a lump. Our guide explains what to do, why veterinary advice matters, and why internet searching rarely brings clarity.
Our Breed Focus turns to the Chesapeake Bay Retriever, a breed shaped by water, weather and work. We then move into the biology of the coat, exploring it as a living structure rather than simply something we brush, trim or admire. Skin health runs throughout the issue, with features on allergies, summer skin, canine massage for dogs with skin conditions, and advanced protein nutrition for dogs with dietary sensitivities.
We also welcome Dogs Friends as our Charity Focus, introduce our new advice column with Sharon Bolt, explore raw feeding with Durham Animal Feeds, and finish by challenging one of the most common myths in dog body language: the so-called look of guilt.
