Buddy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Bella. Forgot to add he also met a big black Newfoundland and he takes no notice of medium to large dogs. WHen he sees cats out on a walk, he'll stop and want to watch them, but doesn't go berserk. 😉

Buddy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Hi Bella. Buddy went on two walks a day and is wonderful on lead. Just how you want all dogs to be. He has met the following whilst out walking: black labrador (perfect), blue merl Border Collie and choc and white border collie pup, (perfect), Scottish Terrier ( ok, then Scottie growled at Buddy, but Buddy just looked surprised), he's seen a fox and squirrel (very interested) but when I say that, he just gets very alert and pulls a little on the lead, but no spinning, lungeing whatsoever. He did come across a small cream fluff ball, which I can only assume was a dog ona lead, but it was that fluffy, I couldn't really see the head (Pomeranian or something similar I'd guess). I would say anything from Cocker Spaniel size up he'd hardly blink at, but smaller would need some training and socialisation. He loves playing with footballs and squeaky toys, my 4 year old loved hugging him, my two year old kept giving him kisses and he didn't bat an eyelid. If you ended up having him, if you ever want someone to look after him while you are on holiday, I'll do it for you free of charge with pleasure. He loves lying on the floor fully stretched out in living room and will follow you around, he even lay on the floor in the kitchen, but in my small kitchen it made life difficult. All I can say is Super dog that would compliment any family, made easier if no small furries to adapt to. I'll watch this space for more news.

Fire
Over the Rainbow Bridge
I want to thank Julie for coming over to the kennels yesterday afternoon to help with training for Fire. Fire is a very loving fella but so very keen with anything fluffy 🙁 He soon learnt that sausages were far nicer than the fluffy toys we were trying to distract him from and he soon was responding to Julie really well. If there is anyone who is willing to take Fire to the training on Saturday morning I would be really grateful. Just give me a call at the kennels. Many thanks, Ruth.

Buddy
Over the Rainbow Bridge
Dear JBM, I really feel for you all. Buddy sounds and looks a lovely boy. I have a 4 yr old little boy. Due to some recent experience, trying not to get heart set on things too much. How did Buddy get on with other Dogs? Saw about cats but we don't have any. Have 2 girls though that are non greys. Any advice you can give would be appreciated. XxxxX

We won't be able to have little Rose, largely through not wanting to risk putting her through any more stress. If only they'd met off the lead, who knows. All the best Rose and thank you for being our little dream for the past few weeks. You will truly make a family somewhere very happy. Will miss our cuddles little girl. Not having much luck with missing out on Amber now you. XxxxxxxxxX
