Muddy is mostly border collie. Bright as a button. Every evening no matter where we are, he must do his toys, which involves retrieving anything up to 25 items on voice command. His favourite, and the very first toy, is a toilet brush (referred to as ‘bog brush’), which he received brand new as a present when he was under one year old. He is very well travelled collie as he comes everywhere with us in Gloria the 76 VW camper van – France, including Corsica, Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg and Germany. It really is a dog’s life!
