  • Hi All! I've just found this forum, and couldn't believe it! It's such a great place! I've got two B mixes. One is mixed with a Jack Russell and the other with a Whippet. Their names are Foster and Ferret…..Foster, because he was a 'foster dog' that we never rehomed (because he was so darn cute we had to keep him!) and Ferret, well, he's called that because that is exactly what he looks like when he wraps himself into a little ball on the sofa.

    I got Foster when he was a very small puppy when I lived in America and I've had him for about 7 years. When I moved to Australia Foster came with me, and whilst there I found poor Ferret at the local pound the day before he was due to be put down. He was about 3 years old or so, and I've had him for about 5 years now. As a rescue dog, he has had a lot of 'issues' and he has far more B traits than Foster does, so Ferret is quite the handful.

    I've recently moved to the UK and of course the boys have come with me. They made a stop over in the states for a few months to stay with my parents while I was here sorting out a place to live that would accept pets. But they are here now and loving it.

  • Welcome! Those are some international B-mixes you got there! Looking forward to stories and pictures. Your boys are sure lucky to have you :)
