The Jack Russells were intended pets. Dee the collieX was an emaciated stray that I found in 2002 (I could do a hand-span around her waist. Dolly was rescued in an awful condition, as a 3-month pup, from travellers. And Bonnie is a foster-dog looking for a home (I foster for a couple of local rescues and usually have 1-3 fosters here at any one time). So if you're looking for a long-legged, horse-sized clown who is great with other dogs, loves people and just wants her very own sofa to spend her days on, please get in touch
Bonnie is another stray, presumably she was also a travellers dog who either got dumped, or strayed whilst out poaching. When I found Bonnie the vet said she was the most emaciated dog he'd ever seen who was still able to stand up unassisted....the pics aren't nice, no really, they are awful, disgusting, so I won't post them...but can PM a link to a blog I wrote, concerning her recovery, if anyone is interested.
I showed the JRTs with the Irish Kennel Club, competed with Dee in obedience trials. Intended to compete in obedience with Dolly too (her heelwork is to die for!) but then we discovered bikejoring, and Dolly decided that was much more fun!
Collies make the comfiest dog beds!
