Ripley's story is a bit different. He originally went to live with a couple and their daughter. They had done their research and seemed to understand what they were getting into. Anyway when he was 10 months old, we had a call from them. They were at their wits end with him. Making a long story very short, we collected Ripley and brought him home. On the way home we stopped at Ruth & Tim's home, Ripley climbed onto Tim's lap and refused to get off. If truth be told, Tim didn't mind one little bit. So, Ruth & Tim were made very aware of Ripley's life before and after a little thought and a few slight modifications to their home, it was agreed that Ripley would go and live with them.

It's wonderful what has been achieved. Ripley has gone from being a very naughty boy, to one who is enjoying his training in Agilty, Obedience and 'Heelwork to music'. Recently we were treated to a demonstration of some of the moves that Ripley has learned.
