A large pup in need of home
A large pup in need of home:
His is Fred; he is a 6 and 1/2 month old Rottie cross. Photo available on request as we do not like clogging up your mailboxes.
He is house trained. He is inoculated. He is very sociable and obedient. He gets on with all other dogs..
He is a lot of fun to be with...
In fact he's perfect...
He is looking for a new owner;
His new owner must be someone with a garden who can continue giving him the love and training that he is responding to so very well.
If you can offer Fred a new home please contact: pam.holmes@archant.co.uk or phone 020 7433 6201

Urgent appeal
Urgent appeal:
One of our star pupils is in trouble – due to circumstances the family are unable to keep him. Over the past two years Tai was a demo dog at many of my private classes, and regular walking companion to our Canine Commune. And now he’s to be given up!
This is what the owners asked us to post:
“Tai is a labrador and staff cross (black in colour). He is neutured and has a very friendly temprement. He can do lots of tricks and loves to be challenged. He is sociable with cats, children and other dogs and loves food. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control I am looking for a new home for Tai. If anyone is interested, please contact Deniece on 07909904729”
Tai will probably stay with Dima for the time being, as seing him going back to kennels after about 3 years in a home would break his (and mine) heart! So PLEASE – consider giving Tai a home he deserves. I will help you with free classes and advise if needed as he’s nearly a family for us all…
