For anyone who doesn't know who he is and wonders why.

He's doing really well at puppy class, training is going well, just need to calm him with the nipping - he's not a chewer and hasn't ruined anything at all, in fact he's never marked a toy yet but boy will he dig and eat grass and find stones, I seem to spend half of my life checking what's in his mouth. We are about to start looking at getting half the garden paved and the other half decked to make life easier (& safer), we'd been planning to do it anyway but are bringing it forward to be on the safe side.
Give Marco a big hug from me, Cath xx

Hopefully. He used to live in a house full of dogs, as we only get him when he was already a year old. He's an ex show dog, so he's used to be fine with other dogs, we're working on it.
He is gorgeous, sadly we missed out on Marco being a puppy. Which also meant we missed out on the opportunity to train him early. He can be very obstinate.
Are you going to Silverstone? We're hoping to, so if you see someone walking around in a #58 TShirt say hi, there's aren't many so it might be me.
We got him from Rysalka, not that I would recommend said breeder though.
No sadly we're not going to Silverstone, only leave Prague tomorrow - Brno was excellent and I went to Assen earlier this year that was extra special as Rossi won - fabulous it was
Yes it was the likeness to Simo that we went for too, I was saying to my hubby earlier that it's mad we both called him the same name after the same person, got to love Simoncelli bless him.
Enjoy Silverstone

Couple of photos of Marco's crate with his new Simoncelli towel for a cover...
That is brilliant. It reminds me that we need to try our Marco with the free bandana/neckerchief that they gave to me.
hehe
