What a beautiful photo!! It reminds me of my son Joe aged 6 with his rescue dog Poppy who was a very small, scruffy, black terrier x . They went to a fancy dress event together as Dennis the Menace and Knasher. He even entered her into a dog show "Best yearling" and won! I was so proud.....he had spent the whole morning shampooing and brushing her! I wish I had some photos stored electronically to post, but this was 10 years ago.

But Cheeky you are right, assesment has come on a long way since then. I took my son to see the dog and did the assessment myself. They are really comprehensive now and very good at getting it right.

Oh, I would so love to see those pics!


I am so pleased to hear that! That means more of these poor doggies get great family homes

I'll dig the photos out and find someone with a scanner....
