Dogs are natures herbalists, my dogs often eat the young shoots.  :D

Tizzy's not really into green things to eat (unless they're cow pats :005:)

BUT, my Lab bitch Isla is a real muncher!!  She particularly likes the new shoots of Winter Wheat.

Couple of years ago, i took her to a working trial and the search square was in a wheat field. I sent her in to find the articles and she spent the whole time standing in the middle chewing grass, much to the delight of the judge and the crowd.
 I thought things couldn't get much worse but when we turned up at the tracking field, it was a farmers field of new Winter Wheat.  Needless to say, we didn't qualify in that trial :D

Oh well - dogs, who'd have 'em!

Ali :D
