Dub Dogs, let’s see them :)

On a short term rental, this is 'Ghost' an Alaskan Malamute, finished in Ascot Grey!
Beautiful natured bear of a dog, probably would struggle to fit in a camping chair around a firepit! He seems to prefer hard cold floors to comfort and warmth, that'll be his Arctic heritage probably.
He has welcomed us as his temporary pack while his owner recovers from a nart attack in hospital.
I for one am hoping for a long term rental, he's quite a character and matches the van well!

At least your van will be getting a good bit of insulation from all the hair! Our husky manages to produce more hair than she seems to have!

Sadly our short term rental has come to an end.
Ghosties owner has made a full recovery and we are taking him back home, via Chasewater.
Quite the character, we will miss him!
We are on the list for a guide dog reject, fingers crossed!
Good to hear that you are looking to rehome a withdrawn Guide dog puppy. It is the nature of the beast that only a number of the pups pass full training for a number of reasons health, nervousness, can't wear rthe harness, and if they are considered simply not to be happy as the role isn't for them. Our pup Huxley goes Into training 3rd Nov and he has 4-6 weeks for them to decide he can get over the small amount of mouthing he does (only with guide dog personel strangely) If he gets withdrawn he will come back to us for the next decision. A lot of puppy raisers take on the withdrawn ones that they raised.
Don't take it personally ( I did it when first getting involved) but it will help when talking to Guide dogs use the term withdrawn not failed.

Ther is one in our area withdrawn after being in service apparently he nicked a bacon sandwich in costa and led his owner into the road when he shouldn't. He is the most beatiful placid Black lab.

Thank you for the heads up @Ocean100 , we would love a Huxley, or a bacon sandwich thief! It's been lovely for a few weeks coming home to someone who is genuinely pleased to see me!! Having had a yellow lab then a black one for 15 years, wifey and I need someone else to talk to! Our local guide dog rehoming lady is a friend of my wife so we are hoping for good news!
The house is empty without a doggo!
In the meantime we are happy to look after other folks temporary loans!
