Re: My nannan is getting another doggy :)


Awwww he is so sweet!! Heheh I think Rug would fit well too *grin* If you wanted a better full name it could be Rugby and Rug for short

Hope he settles in well, I wish I could have a dog, have always had both dogs and cats growing up but just not in the right situation for a dog.

More kitties is the answer

Re: My nannan is getting another doggy :)


Best of luck, he is a cross breed though not a Border. I have 3 Borders Jane, they are super, BUT they need a LOT of mental and physical stimulation otherwise they get into trouble! you can read about the breed on my site if it helps you.

Re: My nannan is getting another doggy :)


Well if your Granddad think he looks like a cross with a rug then they could call him Matt as Matt is a upmarket rug.
But the name he has is nice too, Clyde.

Hope all goes well.,

Well Dawn having looked at the pictures of him in the sanctuary he looks like a Border, or like he has borderin him needs "TLC" for his coat though.

Re: My nannan is getting another doggy :)


Thanks people

borderdawn - I'm no good with breeds so just went by what they told me and what the website said hehe. Have had a read at your site - thanks. What can they do for him if he needs lots of mental and physical stimulation?? I know he will get lots of walks to loads of different places, and if he's playful (??) he will be played with a lot..any advice you can give me to pass on?

Kazz - yep he does need some TLC on his coat...my nannan says he is really scruffy at the moment lol.

dandysmom - I was thinking of getting my nannan a FURminator, the idea came to mind..do you think it would be worth while??

Re: My nannan is getting another doggy :)


When he's settled in find a good groomer who does Terriers (there is a big difference) between terrier coats and poodle coats.
They should have him looking a million dollars. Dawn may be able to tell you of good groomers in your area not sure.
