hopefully finn will find a new home with my wife and me fingers crossed, long way to go yet. but its difficult not to get excited at the prospect. if it all works out  any tips on bringing him into the home with ollie my 11 yr old springer and 2 cats any advice gratfully recieved. ollie has been with other dogs before we had him and when dogs have stayed a short while ( 1-2 weeks) he has been ok. but been on his own with us for quiet a while now. we are not new at keeping dogs but its never to late to learn more. peter

He was a lovely wee thing and very calm and very settled in the car.  However, he was only with me for just over an hour, so not much to go on.  I am sure Jo could give you a better insight.

Peter is being homechecked shortly  ;)

Here's some Finn pics from the weekend. I trusted him not to run off at the beach (on a long line still- and yes I know he's not on a harness with it, I forgot it!) and he was great, just followed krumble about mostly and checked in a few times to make sure I was still about. Much easier spotting where he is on a beach than in woods thats for sure.

Eat your heart out David Hasselhoff, a new boy is in town!

Bit of recall practise (note that Finn is not focussed at all on me! Even if he knows food is there he doesnt care...)

Obviously hates water with a passion....  ;)

Mad eyes!
