Meet Ralph!
Well, Ralph has finally arrived with us and, after 18 months of Lady being the only dog in the house she finally has her new companion. He's 18 months old himself and quite a live wire, but he has settled incredibly quickly - slept all through last night without a sound from him until we got up this morning. The two of them have quickly become best mates - though he does tease her by picking up two tennis balls at a time and refusing to drop one for her, no matter how much she pleads! 
We're very privileged to have him join us and we're looking forward to some great adventures with him, especially down on the beach in Perranporth.

He's very distinguished looking, almost aristocratic

Welcome, Ralph. Reckon you’ve landed on your paws with M. You wait till you see that beach and you’ll think you’re in doggy heaven.🤗

Obviously he's a perfect gentleman and will ignore Lady however much she tries to attract his attention!

Pleased for you folk. We still resist replacing our much loved pooch. When/where will he be visiting his first CAMC site. Will listen out for the call of Ralph across the pitches.😋
My best mate at primary school had a dog by the same name and I can still hear his dad shouting his name across the village. He was always roaming and romancing, the dog I mean! I'm sure there were lots of little Ralph's around!😳

They are getting on very well together, both have been used to living with other dogs in the past which helps. Lady will be 10 in May (just a bit older than Harry was when she first joined us) so we were beginning to think she'd be too old to cope with a new youngster if we had to leave it much longer. Perfect timing really.
Micky - we are out of the "vanning world" these days, but there will certainly be many trips up to Cirencester Park so we may even get to stroll around the site with them (depending on who's staying there at the time!

Moulesy I’ve been waiting to see your first post about Ralph and Lady. What a lovely story for them both to have a happy life together. I hope his previous owner is content in the knowledge that he has gone to a good and loving home. Keep posting the pictures.

Gorgeous looking pooch M, Lady is one lucky girl! I am sure he will enjoy a wonderful life with you all, and as far as doggy heaven goes, he’s found a perfect home. Hope we get chance to meet up this year, we will be down Cornwall way in September hopefully if all goes to plan!

What a lovely looking dog you have there, M. He looks the perfect companion for Lady. Hope that we will get to meet him sometime, along with yourselves and the lovely Lady too of course.

I know it was a real wrench for his previous owner. He'd had some health problems and also I think him and his wife were anticipating some grandparenting duties when their daughter returns to work later in the year. He was very concerned to check us out as a suitable new home and luckily we were able to reassure him by getting an endorsement from the lady who runs the breed rescue scheme (we got Harry & Lady through that scheme).
He's very keen that we keep in touch so lots of photos have been winging their way up to him - including this one of Ralph sleeping through Antiques Roadshow yesterday!

Ralph looks a lovely dog Moulesy and really pleased he has settled into your family.

Thought this was a rather nice photo.
At night Lady and Ralph sleep in their own crates. When we get up to make breakfast we open them up and they come to greet us. But this morning this happened!

Moulesy not sure if you have been watching Crufts as yesterday was the gundog section as we have had Springer Spaniels and was great to see an Irish setter win and through to Sunday's final what a lovely dog and great to see your photos of Ralph.

Exactly a month on and I think we can safely say that Ralph has settled in!
