a fab guy this fella..much more handsome in the flesh! he is a puppy really and just loves to jump up and give hugs! loves the grass and sniffin about in it but quite content to be petted too. He is an interesting mix..def got bit of tri colored collie but not sure what else. He is quite shy initially but once out he is playful and attentive and loves biscuits!. He is great with other dogs…be a great companion but would need exercise..
cant get the pics up on this..wil try later!!
some pics of today..curious russell 
and a bit of a poser too!!

another of this gorgeous guy! very handsome he is too..
He is beautiful, looks very much like one of my collie girls back home. Probably he is very smart and willing to learn as well. I’d love to foster him, try to contact Gwen about it ![]()
fingers crossed for you!! and russell of course..
just got the OK
will come this afternoon to pick him up ![]()
Great news – you won’t be disappointed, he is a gem.
super super news Liz..am sure he will get on great with Mac too!!
Thanks Liz, thats great news for Russell
This beautiful dog is getting on very well with our other foster dog, settled in very quickly. If thats ok we call him "Viego" as Russell is a bit a challenge for me
I’ll post more info and pics later.
This dog is a real smarty, has already a very good recall, is pretty good on the lead and can do sit +down. He is very good with other dogs, loves to play. Paddy is not going for a midnight walk with him, more for a midnight play – he meets all the other dogs from the area in the park and has a nice play before going to bed
In the house he is surprisingly quiet, just wants to be cuddled. His face says: I am the poorest dog in the whole wide world, no one loves me, I am such a poor little thing. Pictures of that will follow ![]()
Would be pretty good as a second dog as well, accepts our older dog’s authority without questioning. He is quite young, maybe 8 – 10 months.


I met Viego on Sunday. He is absolutely lovely and looked very happy. He is definitely a contender for agility, I saw him do a few jumps and tunnels.
Yesterday Viego learned a new command, he can now give the paw and wave. He learns really very quickly, however the usual collie behaviour is missing, he is a very calm and quite dog in the house. Yesterday we got only a short glance when we wanted to go for the evening walk, then he turned around and kept on snoring – do we seriously expect him to leave his comfy bed???? He is not very much into toys, but he loves his treats which makes it easy to teach him things
Outside he is quite lively but in a very well behaved manner.
