My rather boisterous english bull terrier is 1 now but as a new pup he ate everything and anything in site! Window sills, skirtings, door frames etc. We had all the toys and chews that were recommended but he still chewed his way through my home. He pooed and weed everywhere til i eventually and reluctantly bought a crate. It was a case of get a cage to put him in while we were out or get rid of him. It worked wonders, it gave him a break from the kids and vice versa and he stopped doing toilets indoors completely as they don't like doing it in their own beds. So if they start wrecking your home do think about it. I didn't like crates at all but he is a very happy and non-wrecking dog now.

We are moving to Brittany with our 3 children age 9, 7 and 3 and wasn't preparing to see the Mairie until we sell up here and arrive at our home in France. If i up all our children is there a possibility we can have entry into our local french school refused? I'm a bit worried about communicating as my french isn't fluent, although i have been making an effort to learn for the past year. Obviousley if i make the big move and cannot get the children into a school i will be a little bit stuck as we are selling our property here. Any advice greatly appreciated Cary

I am moving to Brittany and as a keen horse rider will be buying myself a horse. I have looked into transporting one from the UK which on a shared load is approx 400. Can anyone advise me whether i would be better buying a horse once in France. I was a bit concerned about the language barrier as i am not fluent in french and need to communicate when spending this kind of money on a family pet which my children will also ride. Any advice will be most appreciated. Cary

I am moving to France in December and have looked into transporting a horse from the UK. Can anyone advise me whether i would be better off buying a horse once in France. I am trying to take into consideration the language barrier and obviousley need to know what i am buying, problems etc.
