“We have a black and tan, male, shepherd type (possibly mali x herder) puppy (approx. 14 weeks old) that has completed his 7-day stray hold. Member of the public called him in as a stray, said he found him wandering the street near his flat and he followed him home.  He is a typical puppy, full of beans, friendly with people, typical puppy mouthing.”

So please welcome Bertie who was born June 2026 we believe. He is now microchipped and had his vaccinations started.

Bertie is an incredibly bold, confident and friendly young lad and loves nothing more than playing with other dogs, regardless of their size.

Learning quickly, Bertie is going to be so much fun to train.

“We’ve had the pleasure of having Bertie, a German Shepherd pup, stay with us for the last two weeks. ❤️

Bertie arrived as a bit of a wild child, full of puppy energy and rather fond of bitey play! 😂 But over the last two weeks, he’s learnt that good behaviour gets rewarded with treats and that actually, a lovely cuddle is far better than using your teeth to play!

He’s also had the company of a Mali and another GSD to play with, and he certainly wasn’t worried about joining in with the rough and tumble! Sometimes he needed a little help knowing when enough was enough, but that’s all part of being a typical puppy learning boundaries and how to interact with others.

He’s a clever boy, eager to learn and very willing to please. He’s shown us just how much potential he has learning simple commands in return for a treat and how affectionate he can be once he learns to settle.

Bertie will make a fantastic companion for someone who is prepared to put the time, patience and effort into him. The rewards will be huge, and in return you’ll have the best boy – a clever, loyal companion who loves to learn just as much as he loves his cuddles. 🐾❤️”
