ALSCOT

I have two pet dogs. Looking at the photo's you would find it hard to believe they were brother & sister.

They were both born on or about 10th February 2000. This is an estimated date as they were abandoned as small puppies. They are out of a litter of seven that were dumped. I could only take in two of the litter, but I'm sure the others were found good homes as they were under the care of "the rescue puppy centre", based in Warwickshire.

Ellie

Ellie along with her brother has a mixture of Collie X, Setter and other mixes in her make up. She is a very placid girl and she loves to be fussed, played with, taken over the field and of being the centre of attention. She is the brainy one out of them and she nearly always takes the lead when it comes to getting into mischief.

Although placid she is very protective of her brother, the house, garden and me. Even though she looks as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth, she is more than capable of looking after herself and is a very good guard dog when left unattended.

Formby

Formby was named after my hero George Formby. He is a mix of Collie X, Setter, Alsation and Rotwoiller. He is a very loving dog, but is short of intelligance. He has had to taught everything as he can't pick things up by himself.

Now I have taught him how to play he likes nothing more than to go over the field with his ball. He relies very much on his sister for guidance but he also is a very good guard dog. He looks out for Ellie, myself and the house when unattended. I trust him immensly as a pet & guard dog but I wouldn't like to meet him if he were alone & I was a stranger.

Both these dogs had a bad start in life, having being left abandoned to die cold and hungry. They have however overcome their terrible start to life and now seem happy and content with their lives. To begin with they were both shy and withdrawn, but after alot of loving care and attention they have developed into healthy, stong and very loyal pets.
 
At one stage, after having replaced the panel fence with chain link (both torn down by Formby) and after having a "Dog behaviour expert" examine these two, we were very close to having to decide whether we could carry on with them or not. As we both love these two to bits, we decided to give them one more chance. Looking back we are glad we did, as they have both been great fun to have now that they have settled down.

As you can see by the two photo's, they each seem to take it in turn to watch while the other jumps up to try and catch the snow.
