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.

Olly
Stig and Olly curled up together.

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.

...... I love that your other dog is named Stig!!!
Haha....
Some say.....
That he has the ability to lick his own bits
And that he has...... 16 toes.
All we know is.....
