Our first dog!

We've finally found the right dog to give a home to, and are the proud owners/servants of Katie! She is a 14 month old Collie cross.

 

She came from a pretty rough part of West Lothian, having never left the flat and garden of her owners.

 

Bringing her onto the estate was a huge eye opener for her. She could run (and is in great condition considering) but had never run a distance, and couldn't quite figure out corners or stopping. She had never seen the see, let alone swum in it (brilliant swimmer, and quite bizarrely dives too). The only time she's barked so far is when she saw the horses - try explaining horses to a city dog!

 

She's had a good look around the garden, fallen into the pond, met the chickens, met the guinea pigs and is now flaked on her bed in the house.

 

She hasn't had any real training, but is picking it up very quickly. She herds like a collie, but doesn't seem in any way neurotic. We reckon she's 50% collie - no idea what the rest is!
