This is our Theo he is now 16 years old and doing well,he is a little deaf and his sight is a little less sharp but he still chases a ball with the flatties, I know he is not a pedigree (we have him listed as a lab because the system doesn't have mixed breed on) but he is so much part of our family that we thought you might all like to see him. Theo was a 10 month old stray when we rescued him and was my husband Justins' first dog, he has had a few health problems occasionally and doesn't really like other dogs much (he was bitten when very young by a golden retriever and never got over it ,allthough he lived with our bitch Sunny, who we lost at the grand old age of 18 a few years ago, with out any problems) he has learned to accept the Flatcoats and it is a testament to their nature that no matter how grumpy he has been with them they all love him to bits. Theo is extremely bright and can fetch you the tv zapper(or a mobile phone if he can't find the zapper), speak when asked and when he was younger he could sit up for ever if it meant getting a sweety! We never managed to get him to put things in the bin for us but we havn't given up yet, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Justin is Theo first love (closely followed by a tennis ball) and then me! He doesn't take to everybody straight away but if he decides he likes you he will be your loyal pal for life!! Bramble and Ziva are his particular fans and just adore him and Ziva gets away with absolute murder far more than any of the others ever have. We hope you like him because he's a special kinda guy!!
