​​Brodie is the grey one, Boris is the brown one!
Boris is a 4-year-old rescue dog with a heart of gold. One of the softest coats you&rsquo;ll ever touch, but only if you are lucky! Due to his background, only a handful of people have been lucky enough to touch him as he is still a little nervous around people. He is also super-fast and we think a Lurcher.
Brodie is a new addition to the family and is coming up to his first birthday! He is a cross between an Italian greyhound and a whippet. He loves to steal but not destroy any of your personal belongings, mainly slippers and hide them across the house! He has so much energy and will beg you to play with him 24/7! &nbsp;
