I picked up poor little Freddie from the pound this morning. Despite feeling very nervous he travelled really well in the car. He was very reluctant to come into the house at first but with a bit of gentle persuasion he followed us in. He’s settling in very slowly, I think having another dog in the house is helping him, he’s getting on great with my own dog who is rather large. He had a few little accidents this afternoon but that’s to be expected & we’re working on that. He seems more nervous of men than women but loves kids. He’s seen our cat and whilst he is interested in him he doesn’t seem intent on chasing him. I can’t get over the fact that someone would abandon such a beautiful, gentle, calm little baby like Freddie, however, I think we are really going to enjoy having him to stay.

What a little cutie. I am right behind you

Well Freddie is settling in well, continuing to get on great with my dog, he follows him around everywhere & is stuck to him like glue, especially when they’re out for their walks, so much so that he’s been pee’d on!! He’s had a bath now which I think he quite enjoyed & is feeling much fresher. He’s been getting lots of admiring looks when out & about, but no wonder, he’s such a little cutie & walks well on the lead. He’s getting on great with his toilet training, he goes out with my dog & copies what he does so it’s working out fine. He’s very smart & has learnt how to sit already. He’s very food orientated which will make further training easy. I’m guessing he has been treated badly in his past by a man as he’s quite frightened of men & startled by sudden movements. My husband is working on gaining his confidence with the help of some treats..The kids adore him & him them, he gets so excited to see them, it’s lovely. This morning the first thing my twins asked me was "is Freddie having another sleepover tonight?" Their faces lit up when I said yes! Freddie loves to have company so he would be best suited to a home where there is someone who will be around during the day.

An absolute sweetheart.

Freddie’s been having a great time since I can walk him off lead. His social skills are just great and he never get’s cross even if other dogs are cross with him. He just walks away and forgets all about it.
This little fella doesn’t ask for much and is so well behaved. He seems to understand things so quickly and is one of the most gentle little dogs I’ve ever known.
He doesn’t seem to be nervous of anything except men which is also improving daily. He loves getting his harness on, loves swimming, doesn’t object going back on the lead when were walking, doesn’t bark much, doesn’t bother people. This guy will make somebody a really good companion.

The lovely Freddie, looks like he’s having a great time in his foster home, such a gentle and loveable puppy, he really is one in a million.

Freddie is just a joy to have around. He has an amazing gentle and quiet personality.
He is now slowly beginning to trust men and people a lot more than he did. After just 3 weeks now my 19 year old son can touch him, stroke him and he has actually started wagging his tail when he comes in. He is a lot less stressed now, much calmer and a lot more relaxed no matter what sort of situation props up. .
Training Freddie is also an enjoyable experience as he is very motivated to work for his living. He loves our little training sessions and is making exceptionally good progress. He is now fully toilet trained and runs to the door when he needs to go out. His favourite time of the day at the moment is walking in the park freely and doing all the things that dogs like to do.
