My Story:

Hi My name is Kath, happilly married to Roy. My family dog Holly who was a collie x german shepherd recently died. She was almost 13 yrs old, suffered bad through arthritis, and in a great deal of pain. Over the years she could get on the bathroom scales to get weighed, bring the weekly paper in, carry the post in. Very intelligent and very cute, spoiled wrotten, wanted for nothing, and got such alot of love, more than any dog could wish for. My parents owned Holly, and have missed her terribly. We are now currently looking for another puppy of similar breed to holly about 8-9 weeks old. Hope someone out there can point us in the right direction. I have tried our local rescue homes but without any luck. No puppies at all. I have also been browsing all the different websites, but to no avail. The ones suitable are miles and miles away from where we live.

My parents have always brought up our dog to be warm and loving to all who visit.

I work hard for a Bupa company and have been there almost 7 yrs now. Its a hectic job, but I love it. By nature I am a friendly and warm hearted person, with alot of love for dogs.
