Auntie Nannette has made a fab Christmas Quiz book to raise money for all the needy Border Collies like me and Bear so please buy one and have a go this year. Some of the quizes are really hard but it's a great way to help us dogs at Christmas while having some good family fun too. Booklets are not expensive, just £2 and will be for sale at lots of different places around Wales but if you aren't local don't worry we will send one to you, just send an email with your name and address and pay by paypal on the website or send a cheque.

We have been very sad since Mum managed to rescue one of the collies from Stoke. He was a 12 month old boy called Axel who had been so badly treated and adused that he had to be put to sleep. It is so awful to think what this poor baby had gone through since he was born, he probably didn't know any kindness until his last 24 hours with his foster carer Sue.

The worst thing is that the cruel b*****ds that did this will most likely to go on breeding  pups and selling them on sites like Preloved to idiots who make it easy for them. Please please PLEASE if you want a dog or a puppy go to a rescue or a registered breeder don't buy dogs out of the local paper, off internet sites or puppy farms do some research before you get your dog to see where it has come from. Other wise there will be more dogs just like Axel who suffer so you can have your sweet pet puppy.
