Hi there Im Becky and me and my partner Kirsty have recently started doing some dog walking at the dogs home. We have two dogs of our own, Betty and Archie, and both are terriers. Betty is an ex resident of CDH, shes around 9 years old now but acts a lot younger. She is a typical terrier madam and certainly knows her own mind! Archie is 2 and is so laid back, he takes Bettys crabiness all in his stride! Betty is definately the boss with him. Well, with all of us really We are really enjoying the extra dog walks at CDH, its great to get the dogs out for an hour, they are all so lovely! Maybe we'll see some of you around at the dogs home Becky

Hi Becky and Kirstie, so glad you've joined us ;D Thank you for the lovely write up on Foggy. We really value the dog walkers views on the dogs, it really helps them find their forever homes - Bet Betty and Archie keep you on your toes, would love to see pictures <Big Hint ;D>

Hiya! I'm Kirsty, Becky's partner. Here's a pic of our Betty, as Becky said she was a resident of Cardiff Dog's home about 8 years ago and has been in her forever home with us ever since This is Archie, he is 2 years old and a product of a friends dog having a little "accident" with a stray so we're not sure what he is exactly! More Jack Russell-y than anything though! He loves winding his old girl sister up! ;D Kirsty

She is at least 9 but could be as old as 11 as she was estimated to be 3 years old by dogs home staff but our vet put her at 1! She was a street dog and was in the dogs home for about 3 months before coming to us, best thing we ever did She is the most complicated dog I have ever met and has some very funny ways (she is terrified of hiccups and throws herself around the carpet so much she has given herself a cauliflower ear!) but that's why we love her! We've had Archie from a pup so he's more normal haha! He's very affectionate and likes to lie himself across peoples faces if he can!! The beach is Port Eynon which is not far from the Gower! We take them camping there, they love being outdoors so camping is ideal!

Hiya you two's Ooooooh - terrorists My very, very favourites I've got two too - very different, both a little bit norty, but oodles of character If I have a 'soft spot' for terriers, I have a 'duck-down-duvet-in-my-belly for little beardy-whiskery ones Scrummy lil Archie - my type of guy Lovely to see you both here, and hope to see you at the Home! Keep the walkers tails (I know, it's a joke) coming - they are so very useful to potential rehomers, and we do just love to get to know the doglets better. Susie x
