APOLLO
Apollo is a 3 year old castrated male bred by ourselves who has been returned to us because his owners decided that he was no longer required.
All our puppies have a contract which states they must be returned to us for rehoming if not wanted any more for whatever reason or age.
Apollo came to us very underweight and a very unhappy boy.We feel that he has not had the physical or mental attention he deserves for a very long time. He has been with us for 4 weeks now and is gaining weight and is once again bright eyed (as you can see in the photos below, taken a couple of days ago).
He is learning to play and trust.He has an amazing temperament and loves physical contact.He will need some time putting in with him as it appears he has little training and socialising with the world outside. He has been raised in a family environment and appears to have no vices.We feel he would fit in with a family as long as they are confident around the bigger dog.
Apollo's next home must be a ' forever ' home so we will be very selective where we place him.

Murphy (pictured right) has settled in his new home and is reported to be very happy. He has gained over 4 kilos in weight since coming back to us which is wonderful.
We wish him and his new family lots of luck for their future together and a special thanks to Dobermann Welfare for helping us find such a lovely home for Murphy.
Dorset County Open Show
• Otago Hinimona 'Rosie' wins Junior and then is awarded BEST OF BREED.
We are very pleased to say that MURPHY has found a new home.
He will be going to live with his new owners Geoff & Jill on 31st July and he also will have a new playmate Bonnie ( a beautiful young lady dobermann ) who is two and a half years old. He has started to put on weight and is feeling a lot happier.He has two visits from his new family and has got on well, so we think he has an exciting future. We will be keeping in touch with Murphy as we like to do with all of our ' babies ' however old they are.
We are looking for a suitable home for a handsome male we have had returned to us ( as that is in our contracts ) through no fault of his own. Due to a change in their circumstances the family he has lived with for three and a half years have decided he would be better in a new home. He has been with us for two weeks now and has settled in here well. We do not plan to keep him and think he will be happier in a new home where he can have the attention and stability he has obviously not had. He is underweight at the moment so we are waiting until he has gained sufficient weight to leave us and is returned to some sense of normality himself.
The home we are looking for is ideally somewhere where the new owners can spend time on him and make him feel settled. He has been brought up with children but we think if there are children in the new household they should be older children.
He is 4 years old today (14th July). He was bred by us and has a very good temperament. He is loving but a little insecure at the moment having lived in what appears to have been a stressful environment.
If you are interested in giving this little man a home please contact us. We are not in a hurry to rehome him as it has to be the ' right ' home.
