Guests are welcomed by our resident collies who are aways on hand to play with anyone or some therapeutic doggie stroking.  

We, this is Cannella speaking now,  are welcoming to well-adjusted dogs, preferable large ones who want to come and stay.  Their owners must make arrangements before hand and are not allowed to leave the dogs for us to look after while they go out.

See our photos in the Image Gallery.

CANNELLA  - I am the matricarh in charge of the pack and expect them to do my bidding. I am frienly but a little shy and will run away from small children

LUPO  -  I and the biggest and though I am second on this list I am by no means second in line to the throne.  I had an accident which left me a cripples so I regard the centre courtyard as my special area and would appreciate it if all guests would pay some attention to me as they wlak pass.

DOLCE - my mum, Cannella is grooming me to take over, but I don't think the others will let me as I am too shy and a big softie.   I have a sweetie for a son, called Pedro.

MEZZALUNA - everyone calls me Mezzie, and I want to take over the pack, and probably will.  I am Kathryn's shadow and very protective of her and also rather shy and prefer my own room (where I allow Kathryn and Adrian to sleep) when there are lots of people.  I have a crazy daughter called MotorQ

MOTORQ  -  I am very special as I run in cirlces all the time, hence my name.  Adrian is very important and I need to be with him and look after him at all times.  The other collies don't like me much as I think I am better than them and some say I have some cat blood.  I have also heard it said that I am very clever.  

PEDRO -  I am the baby and cannot be alone ever!  I love everyoine and will lick anyone that wants me to.  My best spot is on Kathryn's bed preferably with her on the bed as well.  I will back Mezzie in her takeover!
