Bert

Well this is the odd couple! Bert stands quite tall for a 'small' dog, while Ernie is only pint sized. Both came into care extremely timid of everything and, whilst both have come a long way, there are still many things that scare them. Bert is particularly scared of people he doesn't know but Ernie has come out of his shell and is now generally quite relaxed around new people. Both are very happy around other dogs and love to play chase (especially Bert) and Ernie loves his small, soft toys now too. Both dogs can use a doggy door, are house trained and are besotted with pats and cuddles especially if they are given on your lap. The best type of home for this pair is one where they will get lots of attention and exercise and be taken out to learn new things about the world but kept safe on lead as Bert especially can be very scared at times. Both these boys have low maintenance, shedding coats, the most gentle natures and are so soft and sweet. Young children would likely scare them so homes with kids over 10 years that are not too boisterous would be best. Please note that Bert and Ernie are extremely bonded and cannot be separated.
