Keisha - Akita



Good Points
She's a good nurse to her older brother, she brings large bones to him and drops them on his head when he's feeling poorly.
She's very willing to try anything once.
She plays a good game of ANYTHING!

Bad Points
Her legs are too stumpy and she's always falling over, rolling down hills etc.
She's thick.
When you ask her to sit she instantly begs on her bum, when you ask her to lie down she rolls over, in agility she can't sit and wait, she spins in circles so when you release her she often runs the wrong way, whichever way she's facing at that point (very eager to please?)

Ted - Flatcoated Retriever



Good:-
Unlimited zest for life with a very enthusiastic tail wag!
Believes that everyone and everything is his friend.
Makes us smile regardless of how we feel.

Bad:-
Mud magnet!
If he had a little finger I would be well and truely wrapped round it.
Doesn't matter how little water there is he gets completely wet!

Dahlia
Border colllie/Golden retriever mix



Best traits:
1. Very affectionate, loves belly rubs and cuddles.
2. Has good energy, but is not over the top -- perfect dog for hikes or just lazing around the house
3. Likes to pose in picturesque places -- perfect for people who like to take photos of their dog!


Worst traits:
1. Steals butter and hides it beneath your pillows, cutting her nose in the process. Thankfully this only happens once ever 6 months (scout's honor!).
2. Is a wee bit "stubborn" and will insist on which way SHE wants to go for on a walk. I can guarantee her cuteness will win you over and you'll happily go where she wants to!
3. That lovely winter coat she currently is wearing will all fall out come summer and you'll be living in a sea of dog hair.

* gives me a reason, other than to go to work, to get up everyday and go out of the house to walk her

bad points

Poppy, 8 months
Working Cocker x Working Springer




Good -

Amazing energy that makes her a bundle of fun!
So gentle and affectionate when chilled out.
Far too intelligent for her own good!

Not so good -

Snores, growls and barks in her sleep!
Her zest for gardening!
At times thinks she is a cat. (Not good for the doggy street cred!)

Henry - English Setter 19 months


Good points:
Made me smile again and remember that life is worth living.
Gives wonderful cuddles, (Henny hugs), and kisses.
Loves everybody and everything.

Bad points:
Recall a bit iffy.
Will insist in running off with washing, either as it is going in the machine, or as it is coming out.
Tends to wait to do his naughtiest things in front of daddy so I can't cover them up.
