Review no.2 as we now have 2 beautiful Coots Pups!
We have the beautiful Frank (black and tan smooth mini almost 15 months old) picked him up as a 6-month infant in Nov 2023. My husband and I always knew we wanted another pup and brother for Frank quite soon so when Kate told us Frank’s dad Oliver had another litter we though a half-brother would be perfect!
We watched this lovely and handsome mini smooth brown and tan pup grow up to 7 months and were almost ready to collect however Kate made the hard decision to tell us that she didn’t believe the pup and Frank were well suited. Our Frank is a very sweet, very gentle and a submissive boy who does exactly what he is told to do. Whereas the new pup is very confident, dominant and is better suited with female and more mature dogs and there was only 8 months difference between the two. Naturally my husband and I were disappointed to hear this news having fallen in love with this pup but also respected Kate’s professional opinion. HOWEVER there was another beautiful boy, Bruno, 8 months old looking for his forever home. Bruno was a 6-month-old infant and unfortunately his first family due to personal circumstances were no longer able to keep him so Kate was looking for his perfect match. As Kate has spent an extended time with Bruno and the 6 months with Frank she knew both their personalities well and thought they would get on well and god was she right! We took Frank to meet Bruno to see how they got along and it was immediate besties and my husband and I fell quickly in love with Bruno and agreed he was our perfect new boy.
We have had Bruno for almost 3 weeks now and you wouldn’t believe these 2 boys didn’t grow up together! Bruno is well and truly settled into our home (literally took 2 weeks to settle into or routine), this is really one of the advantages of having an infant/mature dog they are quick to learn and understand their new environment and luckily Bruno fell in love very quickly to all! Frank and Bruno are eating, sleeping, playing, napping and all the other lovely activities. This really just reaffirms that Kate knows exactly what she is doing. She really cares about where her pups and going for their wellbeing and how the match will be to the family, environment and other pets.
