I was at a dog show in Andover earlier this year, and I picked three ticks off Fifi Mk2 that were crawling on her fur but not yet "dug in" and feeding. I ended up with a tick in my arm, luckily I have a tick puller in the car. The dog copped one tick in the New Forest last year that I removed, but she is pretty resistant having a two coat fur layer. My old lab had a very bad bout after a tick broke off in her neck and got infected. The dog nearly died.
