Its not that far, I could poss pop over the start of next week if things dont improve

Shona that would be ace - i'll email her now, and also suggest the butchers bone (one i hadn't mentioned). Radio/tv etc were all mentioned.

I know it sometimes takes time for a dog in a new place before they show any sorts of colours, bad or good, but i found him to be extremely easygoing, relaxed and just an ultimate pet to be honest.

I'll drop you a pm when i've spoken to her if thats ok?

sure no problems, she could even try clicker training, it works great with rotties,

LOL, if she's anything like me - max (pups name) will be clicker training her, lol!! Thank you
