Mitch is now staying with us. He arrived yesterday evening and only took about 10 mins to settle in
He was a little nippy at first but with 3 other dogs in his face who can blame him He was off lead last night and was brilliant, didn’t wander too far at all and played really well with my boxer. He’s really friendly with people, loves chasing balls and is delighted with any attention. He didn’t sleep great last night but hopefully he’ll be a bit more settled tonight. Will post some photos soon.Jamie is doing really well. She has relaxed so much with the other dogs now and even jumps on Missy for a little play every now and again
She is an absolutely gorgeous girl with a fab coat and really loves her rubs She has a great personality and is definitely in charge of the other dogs, telling them off when ever they’re annoying her She is the best girl for letting me know when someone is outside the house if she feels they’re getting too close My guys would sleep through a hurricane She has found a couple of hedgehogs in our estate and everytime she’s out walking she spends her time searching everywhere for them She will make a great companion for someone and I know she’d love all the attention in the house on her! This girl loves the limelight!Denny has gone to his forever home. I am so happy for this little guy as he really deserves his new home. I was so sad to see him go on Saturday but I know he is with a lovely family. Good luck to the Barry family! I know Denny will be so loved and cared for
Jamie is such a lovely girl. She loves her rubs and hugs and is still such a laid back girl. She loves her walks and loves being off lead so that she can potter off and do her own thing without the other dogs! She is good off lead in enclosed spaces and recall seems very good but she needs to stay on lead if not enclosed. She took off to investigate a neighbour and their child when out one morning and took a little while to come back so needless to say she went back on lead! She is such a sweet girl with kids and adults alike and will leave her head on anyones lap until they decide to give her a little rub! She has come on brilliantly around her food and now shares really well letting our big guy Max finish her bowl most days
She has begun to play a lot more with the other dogs, as you can see in her photos, but I still feel she’d be better suited to older dogs or even in a home with just humans as she could then get all the attention She gets a little jealous when the other dogs are getting hugs and will try to push them out of the way and nip them lightly but she’s getting better there too!
I can’t say enough good things about this little guy. He is just so loving and loyal. He is nervous with adults initially but once he trusts you he’ll be your best friend and when around kids any nerves just seem to disappear
He spent the weekend with my niece who is 22 months and my nephew and just loved following them around everywhere they went If I could keep this little baby I definitely would, he’s a little gem!
He needs someone who will love him and put lots of time into him. He has plenty of energy so will need exercise and his lead training definitely needs work but should be easy enough to train as all he wants to do is please.
I have met a few people who expected him to be much bigger from previous photos but he is only small! Hopefully these new photos will show his size a bit betterI was so disappointed not to bring Jamie to the fun day but she has a bit of an irritated throat and a touch of colitis and she’s in heat too, so thought it better to leave her at home with our two dogs to keep her company
She is just a little gem! She was brilliant in the vets and nearly fell asleep as the vet was massaging her throat She was great with our nieces and nephews too, loving all the attention and love and hugs! She has relaxed alot around her food, I was amazed to see herself and Denny eating from the same bowl on Saturday She barks a little at other dogs when on lead but when off lead she is much more relaxed. She has put Denny in his place a couple of times when he’s been too excited, nearly acting as Mammy around the other dogs Whoever gets this will be very lucky!!!Well done to all who organised the day! We had a great day. Denny thought it was fantastic, he was exhausted from all the excitment
Hopefully next time our own guys can come along too. Looking forward to the next one already! Photos look great!Well Denny is back in foster with us since Saturday. We spent that day with nieces and nephews who he was absolutely brillant with. Five dogs around him for the day and not one bark or growl, he’s a great little guy
He was at the Fun Day yesterday and had a great time! Was absolutely wrecked when he came home He collapsed on the sitting room floor, didn’t even make it to his bed, for near two hours without moving The other dogs weren’t sure what was wrong with him! Hopefully they can come along to the next day!Jamie is a great girl. So far she is very relaxed for a Collie X! She has been getting a couple of walks a day and is happy to come home and sleep for a while!! She is good off lead in an enclosed area and on lead too. She gets a bit excited when going out first but relaxes very quickly, liking to look up at us as she strolls along to make sure she’s doing the right thing
Jamie is good with the other dogs but doesn’t seem to like the rough play with the other guys. We had a Rottweiler pup that was about 6 months with us for a few days who was way too energetic for this relaxed girl, so think she may be better suited to a home with slightly older dogs or less boisterous at least She loves her grub which is gone in less than a minute at most meals She had a bath on her first night with us, losing loads of her coat and afterwards we realised how skinny she is but hopefully with the amount of grub she is eating the lb’s will pile on pretty quickly
She didn’t like the other dogs around her food at first which is understandable but has relaxed a little since, but we’re still keeping an eye on her during meal times. She is a fab looking girl and these photos don’t do her justice but will keep trying to get some good ones of her!

She is a really lovely girl. She has been very placid and quiet so far, waiting by your side for rubs the whole day She has been good with the other dogs too but seems a little overwhelmed with the other bouncy dogs! She seems to have a bit of a headcold but is loving the Benylin! Will get some photos of her soon.
