Title: Connor the Collie
Post by: DougieDog on July 17, 2015, 13:18:19 PM

This little lad was very nervous of everything, but was incredibly gentle and you could see he desperately wanted to trust us.  His long hair hides the fact that he is skin and bone, such a sweetheart though and so keen for some love and care.

Haha leading Max astray???? Unfortunately our little old tubster 'smellabella' is a bit of a diva with poor Max.....she has perfected the low growl of jealousy....but she's working on it! Fortunately Max seems to know that the females in this house spend their time lolling around and the boys in this house like to get out in the fresh air and have lots of exercise. He knows which pack he is in! Seriouslt though, this yoing man is impeccable. Accidents only in first 24 hours. Wonderful manners. So affectionate and calm. Unbelievably good with the other animals. The freelance sheep are tugging at his herding instinct but his natural obedience and desire to please are making each and every day a total success. Off to the vets this afternoon for a good check over. He's adorable

Ps to Maggie, yes, I too am in love with him, he is so incredibly handsome. Bella is such a 'pretty' dog, but I had no idea until we got this lovely boy how beautiful he was. It's his eyes as well, they are so gentle and inquiring and intelligent.

Pps to Munchkin, thank you SO much for posting these pics for me and especially for sharing your experience and offering such good advice. It's appreciated!
