What's his story?
Thanks Skilaki
Don't know if you saw the post about 3 weeks ago from Megan57? Her friend lives next to a farmer in Northumberland. The farmer had been trying for quite awhile to find a new home for Tip as he wasn't making the grade as a working dog. Although the farmer really didn't want to, it was starting to look like he might have to have him pts as even offered free to good home, no-one wanted him.
So with Megan57's help (and that of her friend), I went and picked Tip up. He's had a steep learning curve - never been in a house before (in fact I'm guessing had been positively discouraged from stepping into the house), but he's taken everything in his stride.
I kept fairly quiet at first to see how things were going - it was a possibility that we would just act as a foster home if didn't work out with our existing two.
As it is, he's getting on pretty well (check out the video of Tip and Stumpy playing - Stumpy will shock you!), except for a growing problem with Tip being fixated on Hoki, much to her displeasure.
He really is such a sweetie though, so eager to please
