The puppies are here... all the way from Italy
On Friday evening we got two puppies - Betsy and Bertie.
They are brother and sister, all the way from Italy.
How they got here from Italy is a complicated story for another post.
They are Patterdale Terrier / Poodle / unknown Italian dog cross.
We have been wanting to get a dog for many months, and now, somewhat out of the blue, two lovely puppies have come in to our lives.
They will be four months old on 1 December and are absolutely well behaved.
I am sure I will be writing more about them in them in the coming weeks. They will have an important role to play on the homestead.
In the meantime we will enjoy getting to know them. And I will better learn how to take good photographs of black dogs in our dark house on dull days.
Here are a few more photos of them. Bertie is the rough haired dog with a bit of silver about him. Betsy is smooth haired and pure black.
One curiousity of their place of origin is that they have Italian dog passports.
I wonder where they will stand after Britain leaves the EU after Brexit...

@pennsif they are gorgeous, I am jelly (jelous) you are truly fortunate. Have a fun time with these babies. I want to come and cuddle with them. LOL
What a couple of sweeties! Love their names, too.
I like their names. The original owners gave the names so we have kept them. Bertie responds well to his name, Betsy less so. We have wondered if they are a bit too similar sounding... and therefore whether we might need to change Betsy's name as she isn't yet responding to it.
They're cute!
Thank you - they are adorable little dogs 🐕 🐕
Welcome to our little family, you adorable pups! I love them already. I can't wait to hear more about them! :)
Definitely more posts to come on the puppies.
Amazing dogs specially for their italian nacionality.
Enjoy them specially the black dog which have a good mustache, he see very funny.
Best regard.
I think Bertie, the dog with the moustache, looks more mature than Betsy. But they are both very good dogs.
Great yes efectively the mustache be a good thing the dog looks more old but it is good to enjoy.
Congratulations on your new family members. They certainly are cute. I don't think they care one way or the other about Brexit. And I am certain no one will care after a time where they came from, they have been adopted by you. I see they have already wormed their way into your heart:)
Indeed they don't seem to have a care in the world 😊
i love dog.....
