This little man is now 15mts old and is available for adoption as his families circumstances have changed. He is wormed, vaccinated, microchipped & neutered. He is great with children and other dogs
We will update with photos asap 
Hi There,
Well Jay arrived yesterday afternoon, hopped out of the car wagging his tail like crazy and came straight over to me for a good scratch. He is a very friendly boy with lots of personality. He was introduced to a lot of new faces yesterday- our GSD Bonnie, 5 ducks, 2 chickens & 4 horses and took it all in his stride
Slept in the hall with Bonnie all night and not a peep out of him. He is always on the go so it was difficult to take any decent photos! I will try and take some more in the next couple of days.

1jay.jpgBrought Jay for a spin in the car last night, absolutely no issues at all, was in the back with Bonnie (our GSD) and happy out the whole time.
Jake will wait patiently for his dinner to be put in front of him, he doesn’t get too excited or jump around the place, he has no issues with food at all and happily let Bonnie have a nibble at his dinner until I dragged her away!The only less than positive comment I have is that he prefers to sit on our white couch than an older brown one that we have!

J&B.jpgI really like the sound of jay. Is he almost alsation size? It’s hard to see if he is big or small! Is he ok with dogs he doesn’t know? How is he with visitors and strangers. Just how good is he on lead? Could my 6 yr old niece walk him with me and hold the lead or does he need work? Sorry for all the questions but thanks for answering and for the picture updates
Hi Keith,
He is a good bit smaller than Bonnie, I will try take a better pic of him beside Bonnie this evening just so you can get a better idea of his size.
When he met Bonnie for the first time he didn’t growl, bark, bare teeth or show any signs of aggression. We have had a few visitors to the house over the past few days and he has been perfect. The only time I have heard him bark so far is when we went for a walk by the river last night, there was a fisherman there in full camouflage gear and Jay barked at him a couple of times (To be honest the fisherman looked a bit scary, even to me!)
Re: Walking on the lead, He does pull a bit so I wouldn’t say your niece would be able to manage him. I have been walking him on the lead every evening to improve this and he is getting better. He comes to you when you call him and he sits when you ask him to.
Any other questions just let me know
after talking to the (really really) nice Kathy we think Jay may be a little to big for our circumstance (long story). we are watching the D.I.D forum closely so maybe our forever dog is waiting in the shadows somewhere. we are also checkng irishanimals.ie and other dog rescues, D.S.P.C.A etc while we wait to see if we get full home approval
