Charlottte - We think she's part mudi and border collie

I know I've said it before, but she's gorgeous! I'm convinced she has Mudi in too! Though she hasn't got the tail, so like you said, she could have Border Collie in. Have you thought about doing agility with her? I reckon she'd be really good at it

Weims - Yep you're the one that gave me the idea Having looked up more about Mudi, her personality is very similar. She has the right body shape for both Mudi and Border Collie. Yes!!! Since I first saw agility in action I've wanted to do it - but back then I had no dog to do it with She's a very fast learner, can already jump very high and long,(we practice in the garden)is a bendy sort of shape (if you know what I mean), and has bundles of energy I'm debating between flyball and agility, I don't know if I'm right but I reckon trying to attend both for practice, competitions etc might be a bit too much What do you think?

Lovely pics!!! AGILITY!!! I would definately say agility, we are at competing stage and agility is just FANTASTIC!! Of course try both, make sure you've seen other dogs do it too

Thanks BT, I'll bear that in mind - it does look really fun! I'm not mad or anything but I taught my cat how to jump - he can do it really high now

Oh! I knew it was one of them After I put Pumi I thought 'oh, maybe it was a Mudi' She is very Mudi in coat type and shape. She's a very pretty girl How do you go about adopting from abroad? It's something I've heard about but never known anything about

Charlottte - Haha thought you might of! Thank you, Jess loves all the compliments! Well take a look at this website: sos-animals.org.uk/ , it's where we got Jess from. We found it by chance and soon fell in love with Jess We could only see pictures of her from when she and her sisters were first found, we thought we were getting a little black pup with the odd twist of fur on her back - we were wrong After deciding she could be the one for us we contacted SOS, who got back to us the next day. We were sent more info and videos about Jess and decided to go forward with the adoption. We recently had a homecheck with another rescue centre so we just sent them a few pics of our house which they thought were fine for a dog like Jess to live in. My mum and dad had to pick her up from a nearby drop of point and we had to pay SOS Animals UK a fixed adoption rate of £250.00, which is very good as she had to travel for 2 days from Spain, she was microchiped with our address and had had all vaccinations done. That's pretty much how you go about adopting from another country. We hadn't actually met Jess but felt we knew her with all the information we were given. We're very glad we went ahead and adopted her!

Jess is gorgeous, CC. Lovely photos! However, I should not have clicked on your link. I have seen three dogs so far that I want to adopt (so far)!

There are some lovely looking dogs on there. It's a shame that they're all needing homes though!
