Tinbie is a gentle dog and was the only large breed puppy that was trusted to play with the small breed puppies in puppy class. He gets along fabulously with all other dogs and enjoys enticing everyone to play. He continues to have a passion for smaller breeds and his current best friends include a couple of Jack Russells and a Daschund!

He's an easy-going puppy, like his mother, Lupine. He is respectful of our older dogs and has excellent doggy social skills. He is quite a clumsy teenager and the description "a bull in a china shop" describes him quite well. Although, as he gets older, he is becoming quite agile and better at keeping toys away from Pipit. He is a bold, confident and clownish dog and nothing seems to worry him. He loves travelling and going on trips to dog shows, training and visiting friends.

As a puppy, Tinbie would often sit and stare at the world around him, drinking it all in - this made him very easy to photograph!

Favourite activities:
Eating (food, grass, dirt, sand, sticks....whatever), playing with the other dogs (especially playing tug with Tally), holding our hand or sleeve when going on walks, meeting new dogs and making friends (small dogs and any of the herding breeds are the best!), anything that involves BIRDS, finding gross dead things on walks (e.g. long-dead rabbits, pigeons, deer bones....), carrying anything and everything in his mouth.

Theme song:
Doesn't have one yet! The Beatles "I want to hold your hand" is appropriate though...
