Looks well and truly at home
Oh brilliant, thankyou very much! Nero is so special, he likes to greet almost everyone who walks past in our woodland walks, bringing smiles and cheer. At the vets, they fawn over him! He likes to hop up on a bench and sit next to some people when they are on their own. I often wonder if he senses that they need some comfort. We're constantly laughing, he's so playful. Knowing him, he will love wearing his rosette (he's a bit of a show off and poses for the camera) haha, I will send a photo of him wearing it ! π
Looking a little like Sherlock Holmes xx
Awwh, congratulations. Such a wonderful photo π₯°
Congratulations. He does look very handsome and regal. Gorgeous pic. πβ€οΈ

Our fabulous raw food supplier Nutriment , and their supporters for their charity appeal last year enabled us to feed around 7 of our dogs each month with their donated food. We fed this to the dogs who needed that extra nutritional boost . We often say it's our lucky food as when we put a dog onto it, they often get adopted.
If you feed your dog a raw diet then Nutriment are offering the chance to donate food to the rescue if you buy their food. For each 10kg you buy, they donate 1kg to a rescue. Also they have their gorgeous festive Christmas Giving packs that donate a meal too
We are so fortunate to be one of the rescues they support, and are super grateful for this food for our most needed resid#TogetherWeCareeCare

You will spot our handsome Fred (was flour) on their page too π₯°
Don't forget if you sign up to their newsletter they offer a 10% discount. We also have nutriment on our Amazon wishlist too π
Buy a Nutriment Christmas Combo Pack and donate a meal to a rescue this year.

MAX " Auntie Rachel, please can I have a kiss, please, please , kiss me , haha stole one π€£π€£"
Max is around 11 months old and is a collie lab cross. He's a lovely boy looking for an experienced Dog/Collie home. Probably no younger children.
If you might like to welcome him in your home please send us a private message. Thanks
I have a collie lab cross and he’s amazing - Max would be a superb companion especially when trained as so intelligent - they are usually black n white the Boradors though π€(border colliexlab)
Gorgeous boy. He's going to make someone a lovely pet π
I'm struggling to see any collie in him ππ
Aw beautiful boy. Looks like he's a snuggle bug.
Max, you are a darling boy with such good taste π
They just want Love,bless them.
He stole 3 Rachel..... I counted 3
Who's the lovely looking mostly black collie stood patiently waiting for their turn next?

Rachel "Who wants to have their own video today to go on socials to find a home ?"
JET " Me, me, pick me. Am I in the middle, yes me, pick me!"
3 year old JET is a lovely boy. He's good with kids and cats and our dogs. He's not suitable to be off lead around sheep. He's a lovely boy who is going to make a cracking family member. He's a collie cross lab we think
Please private message us if you might like to adopt him.
How gorgeous! Lovely 2 see my sponsor boy Jet with his friends. Good luck my boy x
Could they travel to Scotland? We have recently lost our darling Kelpie Collie Toby.... Rescued as a wee puppy he would have been 17 years old come January....would love to rescue or re-home at least 2 of these fur babies....
Collie cross labs are really great pets in our experience.
You lovely boy. Perfect name. I think Paul's song with Wings was based on a black lab called Jet. Can't get the tune out of my head. Need to add it to the video π Come on someone give this boy a home, please π he sounds wonderful but unfortunately my rescue sheep would differ π
I've had the privilege of Jet's company on a walk - he's a gorgeous boy, friendly and bright, typical "colliador"! Good manners too, just a bit too keen on sheep. He'd be such a lovely companion...
Amazing clip yet again of gorgeous dogs.Good luck !
Oh jet you are gorgeous πβ€οΈ
he’s so focussed on you!! π₯°
Nice to see Shadow getting in on the action.

I think this competition was a wonderful way of raising money for all the great work Diane and team do. It has been great to see all the wonderful animals across the categories, I just glad I didn't have to pick any winners. A big thank you to Diane and whole team for organising and what a wonderful surprise that Nola got second. She was one of my foster dogs and is such a beautiful and clever girl now in such a great home. Rescues and rescuers are a wonderful 'breed' π
Congratulations everyone all gorgeous girls π₯° x

The 3 lurchers showing the field of the collies how to really run fast !!
I have a Lurcher and a Collie. Collie cannot keep up but has more stamina than the lurcher who collapses after 10 minutes or less !
I have 4 collies, a saluki and a greyhound but ammazingly its my little 3 legged collie who keeps right up with them!!
Our last collie Mollie would give any lurcher a chase, but no chance of ever catching them until they ran out of steam! But they always had fun. Collie stamina always won!
Oh how lovely seeing them have a good run!!ππ
Glad to sponsor 2 of the lurchers - still with you - hope they find forever homes π
Fabulous Run Forest Run ππβ€οΈ Fantastic happy doggies x
Love how they’re all doing their own thing; no fighting or nipping or bickering. Fantastic!
Fantastic video of pure happiness π₯°
Love it. They certainly run fast. X
Omgoodness, look at them run, look so cute in their jackets!β€οΈπΎ
Oh bless , such fun they are having π
Beautiful πthere’s one in the middle that looks like an older dog, is that Ben?
Haha! I loved watching my foster Rupert (now Rufus) trying to keep up with my lurcher Fergus Fuzzybutt, he was close but no potato!
Love to see lurchers run like that π
Peppa leading the way in her red coat. Lovely π
Doggy heaven
My deaf black and white collie kelpie cross had a turbo lurcher run, over drive speed
How to confuse a flock of Border Collies lol π π€£ x
The collies look suitably impressed!π€
And that’s how it’s done π πβοΈ
Brilliant!
To run really....
Wauw!!!!!!
Any yet none of the collies herding them??? π
You just know those lurchers are going to snooze the rest of the day after that burst… meanwhile the collies still be like π€£π€£π€£:
