We adopted Maria in May and she just slotted right into the home without any fuss.

She's a fantastic wee dog and has learnt lots already. She loves a good zoom around the beach and snoozing away on her bed.

She's even done some long distance walks and wild camped, even though she tries to take up most of the space in the tent. She has endless energy and enthusiasm which has been put into use.

We've started to teach her obedience work over obstacles which she has gained confidence in and next we hope to teach her some tracking.

She still needs time with dogs on the lead but has gotten much more confident and even wants to play. She's great with the work dogs off the lead and loves to run around and play. Although she is still useless at catching a tennis ball and would much rather carry it around.
