Lynda says "He has settled in very well with us and he and Lotty are pals already. We have started training him and he seems eager to please. He is being walked on an extending lead at the moment because we have sheep with lambs nearby and I would hate him to chase something through the woods and end up in their field. I need to know that he will stop on command and come back to me and at the moment he carries on doing his own thing and only comes back when he feels the gentle pull on his lead. It is vey early days though and he has had quite a change in his life so I reckon he is progressing ok. He is a very loving dog and loves snuggling up to us for a cuddle, even when it is very hot!"
 GARRISON
Garrison could be anywhere between 7 and 10. Sandie says "Yesterday I took Gary to the groomers which he loved and he looks gorgeous now. I'd say it's the first time he ever saw a comb or brush in his life. He loves the car, definitely gets on well with other dogs and is a gentleman to the backbone. I've had a thyroid test done on him as his skin is in a terrible condition and his eyes are bulging slightly. If it proves to be negative, I recommend that his new owner gets him onto sardines at least 3 times per week. He has been very neglected and a good diet could well sort him out. I was holding a young puppy whilst he was being groomed and he loved him. He has a wonderful nature and personality. He can really motor on the lead and could well benefit from a harness or halti."
