Yes, a French rescue dog (found chasing lorries on an N road). An oddly handsome mixture of every terrier you ever heard of, plus (according to one vet) a dash of dachshund and German shepherd. Possibly slightly brain damaged, but he learnt English in 3 days and is still bi-lingual. He has also found fame in a small literary circle of children as 'Laking Tyke'. Had dogs all my life and this is the hardest one, but he's c.13 now, doesn't know it and is extremely loving. :)
I currently have six dogs - all Lancashire Heelers - oldest boy Haribo (eleven next month), Fizz a girlie from Finland who will be ten next March (granddaughter of one of my boys I sent out there several years ago), their daughter Nellie who will be five in February, her half sister Rio (same dad, different mum), who was five in August, her daughter Tekeela four next month and another daughter Frosty Knickers a year old in January. They are all black and tan apart from Fizz who is liver and tan. Both Rio and Nellie had puppies last January, and six of them have already qualified for Crufts in March. I am very proud of them and their owners, some of whom have never shown before. All the above are qualified apart from Nellie, who decided the show ring was not for her. She prefers staying at home to bark at dogs on the telly.
4 Dogs (at one time I had 11 all at the same time, but most have passed) - all rescues and strays. 2 cats- again rescues, and between 60 and 70 birds of various kinds, and with the exception of a parrot and a cockatiel, all rescues. Most were injured in some way, but there are also many nestlings that were rescued when their nests came down in strong winds and were fed with syringes, but are now so tame that they can't be released.
