thankyou lyn for your help !! xx :D

i have had 3/4 interest enquiries from nobs, but please anyone interested in him please email me asap as it is the correct home for him we need rather than the first !!
and because of the working life style there are the usuall rules and regs, so he will still be a family dog/pet

lol rose xxxxx

wish i could keep him though as he loves my collie youngster xx

I really have fallen for him.... but dont think he is gonna still be available for when I move in..... (Oct)

Wanted to introduce a second dog to Poppy gradually as it maybe a bit too much for her moving into new house and a new dog on the scene.

But he looks just like her! just a different colouring!!

I think he and Alfie are just too close in age or I would seriously consider him as we didn't get our little Irish girlie  :'(

He's a little stunner and judging from what has been said about his temperament he and Alfie would get on like a house on fire, but that's my fear, that they'd get on too well and all my training would go to pot  :-\

AAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!!!!!!!!!

So very tempted now we are starting to look for a playmate for Jasper, He is just the colour my daughter would like and about the age, can't take a puppy as work part time and don't want to start with house training etc.

Jasper is now 14 months and not sure whether a dog or a bitch might be better.  We've mentioned we are looking to a couple of breeders.

The only reason not followed up Billy was the original Many tears entry that part Collie and looks quite tall.

Any dog entring this household has to cope with a slightly erratic 11 yr old with autism, daughter who likes to carry them around, a cat, a rabbit and of course Jasper.  It also has to cope with being left a few hours a day, 3 days a week.

Jasper not done any formal training as yet and so I suppose they could train together.

We have only owned J about 6 months but he does seem well settled and chewing stopped, are we looking to soon or go for it before he gets too set!!

Soooooo tempted, even the OH keeps having a peep at the thread.........

And Wiltshires not so far from Worcestershire........

Jenny - owned by Jasper, Ellie, Heidi, Louie & Charlie

It's practically impossible to successfully train two young dogs together which is the main reason why I don't think I could take this boy. They tend to distract each other, feed off each other and if one or the other has bad habits then the other one will pick up on them. People who take on littermates or young dogs of a similar age usually have to walk and train them separately until they are both fully trained  :-\
