Re: Foster failure. Again.

He’s lovely no wonder you have adopted him

I’ve only fostered once. Little billy, a working cocker Oh I loved that wee chap and so wanted to keep him but alas my Alfie wouldn’t tolerate him. Luckily he was homes just half a mile up the road to a wonderful family so I still get to see him

That's happened before with us too. It's hard, but you have to consider your current dog(s), and put them first.
But lucky you getting to see Billy!

Re: Foster failure. Again.

Robust look pup LMB, and nice that Mungo approves.
Couldn't see clearly, but are both his eyes blue, or only one?
Is he still teething?
Looks quite Akita-ish in coat do you think?

Re: Foster failure. Again.

Aw Jackie Chester is lovely..
Husky eyes and I would say a bit of bull breed looking at the shape of the head.

Pleased to hear Mungo has taken to him, as you say it could help with the confidence issue

I think you are going to be busy

Well it looks like his ears are trying to 'come up' Tpin.
The GSD's do this, the ears go up and down like yo-yo's while they are teething, before they finally stay up properly, and his look like they are on the move to me.

Re: Foster failure. Again.
