Dear Snowy, you had such a fun time. You blossomed and were and are loved so much. Sadly you made a mistake which meant we had to say goodbye but come run with us in spirit and continue to flourish in our love.

Kobe's thread is below:

Snowy is a very attractive dog...he has always attracted attention, but been through 6 homes in his short life why? Oh yes because Snowy is every bit the terrier. Although at a guess you would place him as a Parson's Jack Russell, Snowy is more like a white Fell Terrier. His current owners have really put the work in. They rescued him from an elderly lady out of her depth, and thought they had the measure of him. All was going well until one day his instincts were livened by a chance pounce and he caught a pigeon, then enlivened he proceeded to move with his fresh found instincts to the fore to catch a pet tortoise, which fortunately was saved.

Snowy is delightful most of the time, but his terrier nature can tip a little into excited barking or attention seeking on meeting (satisfied by stroking and making a fuss). Snowy copes well off the lead, but less well on. You have to be careful though as he can get agitated around traffic. Snowy is just coming out the otherside of his maturation process and has brought it all together. Intially he nipped and took command, but has since learnt respect, 'place' and discipline. He now knows what pleases and just sometimes loses it a bit and his working roots kick in and let his even-tempo self down.

Snowy needs an experience terrier home who can limit his position in the pack, command obedience and trusted friendship. His owners can pass on lots of tips and advice, but are really looking for a family who see Snowy the terrier, rather than the sweet looking dog with those oh so appealing eyes, to avoiding him bouncing through homes again.

Lovely little dog. Angelic looking but with a terrier inside. His face in the first picture almost has a Sealyham look about it. Hope he gets a great home.

Hello Lynne, Hope your fine. Here are some pictures of Snowy (Kobe)
We did away with his cage after four days and he started to relax properly very soon after. Sascha and he were quite wary of each other for the first week or so and we had to remove all toys when we could'nt supervise as there were some possession issues from both of them.
This is our forth week now and they are happily sharing all the toys and each other's beds!! He seems to have had plenty of training. He's very good at coming back, is very sociable with other dogs and excellent with food. We could'nt ask for a better basis
Snowy did get excited when traffic passed by the house at first but as he can see out of the window he no longer rushes about and very often does'nt turn a hair. The visiter thing needs work but we rarely get them so not much chance to work on it. All in all he's a lovely, happy little dog and we're very happy to have him in our family. Cheerio for now, Dawn and Doug x

Dear Dear Snowy had a wonderful month with his new family. He however went for a grandchild in a mad moment that left him without control and caused serious damage by holding on. Why we will never know but a mistake it was which just could not be allowed to happen again. We have never known this before in a terrier...and hope we never will. We will never know why; he was given Peace and love wins through
