persephone Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 This is Smoko he is a rescue of sorts- unwanted /starved and badly treated by his owner - offloaded to someone who didn't want him at all .. didn't maltreat him, just didn't want him ..and collected by my bro. and brought home. He is a bit damaged -physically and mentally - has some interesting behaviours. He has had some cruel treatment -including a chunk removed from one ear by a pair of pliers ..and it is taking him some time to accept that we won't be doing that sort of thing to him :D No idea of age at all... sometimes I look at him and he looks 6/7 ..other times he only looks a youngster. Whatever, he's here now ,improving all the time, and one day soon , I hope he will take food from my hand, and not hit the deck/pee when we try & pat him . He will work ok... but needs some fine tuning ..he loves his work, and being with the other dogs .Obviously, he is not a 'pet' dog - he, like the other workers, is on a chain outside when not with us ... but he enjoys riding in the vehicles, sleeping near the kitchen door, and peeing everywhere (most of the munchies my SS sent are being used on Smoko ), who also loves chicken legs !

altheau Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 He looks lovely, I am sure that with time he will come out of his shell. He is lucky to have finally found people to take care of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ari.g Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Aww what a lovely boy. He is very lucky to be taken in by you and your brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Smoko is a lucky boy to have landed in your care! He looks like a lovely boy, he has a kind face, do you think he is a Koolie? or perhaps ACD although looks a bit fine for ACD maybe a mix? Im sure in time he will embrace your way of life, and know your not going to treat him badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Apparently he is farm bred KoolieXborder collie. He has a very sweet face ..and he now wags his tail when spoken to .... took him over a week to get that right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
