Very interesting! Out of curiosity, what breeds are Bramble and Doughnut? If you mentioned it, I missed it!

They are mixed. Bramble is half Cocker Spaniel n takes most of her genes from there her father was a small bright fox red lab cross. Doughnuts mum is a Cane Corso but his dad lookes like Bramble again mostly cocker spaniel with some terriers a few generations back. I think of Bramble as a short gaired smoith coated Cocker spaniel & Doughnuts a miniature Itallian Mastiff (or a meatball terrier 🤣). Rockstar was half bull mastiff and half Rhodesian Ridgeback.

I enjoyed this very much and believe what you say: so much is context!
