Lab-collie cross (more collie than lab except for his appetite). Rescue dog, had him 6 years. Very intelligent, never a dull moment! Hates car travel, so walks need to involve no cars. Great left on his own, just switches off. Likes walking, but big scavenger. Has one ball he likes, but although he will run for it, rarely brings it back. Hates cats. Doesn't play with many other dogs, but every so often finds one he loves. Ignores most after sniff. Will bark at those with attitude, dislikes boxers, german shepherds, greyhounds - avoid if possible and definitely make sure he's on a lead if spotted. Tend to keep on lead except in Pollok park as will go off searching for food (his first love). Was very obese when I took him on, so on permanent diet as has arthritis in front legs as result. No high/medium fat foods. Will eat anything he can reach. Bags of personality. Dog sitters have all thought he was wonderful & great fun!
