    Zorro had his first walk off the leash this morning and it was really good.He is absolutely crazy for food, so the coming back part wasnt an issue at all.On the lead he is good as well, have been using a long flexi lead up to now. He doesnt pull, but he is so tiny that you wouldnt realize it anyway.I think he is suitable for pretty much every household, he doesnt mind dogs or children-havent met a cat yet though, but it probably would have been eaten by Ginny before Zorro has a chance to say his opinion ;-)

    Have just been to the park with Ginny and Zorro, and as I dont have a crate I just put him on the backseat to Ginny and he stayed there as if he is used to do that every day.Ginny made herself as fat as any possible and he was squeezed between her bum and the door, but he didnt mind.Its funny to see te big fluffy white and the tiny black one together.Same at night,I just put his tiny pillow besides Ginny’s and he slept without any complaints or accidents all night, he is house trained.They dont particular like eachother but apparently decided that they dont care,ignorance from both sides,lol.That makes him a pretty good 2nd dog I think.

    This little man will be wormed, vaccinated, microchipped and neutered before being rehomed. Zorro settled in very quickly,seems to be an easy going little chap who gets on well with other dogs-even though Ginny would rather see him on her menu ;-)

    Viego has had his first Agility lesson today, he was doing it pretty well.(There has to be one more treat in this tunnel, I’ll only come out when I’ve found it!!!!)Yesterday we went for a walk inGlendalough and he was busy watching those wild goats, he is almost as good in jumping along the hillside as them ;-)Ginny (Mac) is still the boss and he accepts it without questioning. He would be great as a second dog, he loves all other dogs without exception and subordinates if neccessary.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 :-)

    yes,she is a very happy and relaxed dog,although she doesnt like it when I try to take pictures,lol.Apparently she doesnt like the "klick"sound. She gets livelier everyday and loves to go out, especially running aftyer the ball in the park. She has very good manners in the house, doesnt go up to the bedrooms and doesnt beg for food while eating. She has a very good recall, so its no problem to leave her of the lead and play with the ball. She would be suitable for someone who looks for a very well behaved dog, but goes for walks regularly without overstraining her to much, as she really wants to go out and do something.
