Rescued a Jack Russell cross

We've just taken in a Jack Russell crossbreed puppy named 'Olly'
Aged about 5 months, the previous owner needed to rehome him, so rather than let him go through the system we took him on 'trial' for a few days, and have today decided to keep him.
A cute little fella - previous owner was told he was a JRT, but he's already as big as an adult Russell - far too long legged, and too much brown colouring. He looks to me, to be similar to a Plummer Terrier.

For quite a while now, we've been thinking about getting a companion for our other dog (4½ yr-old Staff-x-Labrador cross, named 'Stig'), and the two of them are getting on great - that was the clincher, that they're friendly with each other.

    He's a lovely dog Carlos.

    I have a similar dog to yours and am thinking of getting him a friend.

    Just need to convince the Mrs.

    What a cutey - they both look fantastic dogs :)

    Glad you were able to give Olly a home - seems he's fallen on his feet :)

    Thanks everyone - Olly's settling in well - took him down the vets this morning to register him and start his injections.
