The Name
The name BEST is an amalgamation of the first letters of my dog’s names:
Beck, Ebony, Spencer and Taffy. They also feature in the business logo
Beck
At 4 years old, Beck was freed from a puppy farm where she was used as a breeder. She had spent all of her life locked in a cage with minimal human contact. She was severely emotionally and physically damaged as a result.
It took 2 years of love, patience and the input of trainers and behaviouralists to win Beck’s trust and give her confidence in her world.
Beck now loves life. Her favourite activities are eating, going to the beach, eating, nose work, eating and going on adventures. Did I mention eating?
Ebony
Ebony, my first foster fail was a ray of sunshine. Used and discarded by a backyard breeder, Ebony was 6 years old when she joined our family. Cheeky, loyal and independent, Ebony was a constant companion who loved going for drives with her nose out the window. No adventure was too much.
She was a very special girl who remains in my thoughts and my heart but sadly, at 17 Ebony crossed the rainbow bridge.
Spencer
Spencer, the only boy in the quartet, came to us at 4 years old; 12 months after Beck. Through a change in family circumstances Spencer needed a new home and we were lucky enough to give him ours.
Spencer is the calm, confident dog in the family and was the ideal playmate for an anxious Beck. He is the ambassador of the group. Living with people-shy females he is the one who laps up the attention of strangers and loves his cuddles
Taffy
Our newest addition at 4 years old, Taffy also joined us after being freed from a puppy farm. Shy and fearful of strangers, Taffy is on her journey of healing. She relies heavily on Beck and Spencer but is turning into a delightful, cheeky and affectionate girl. Stay tuned for Taffy updates.
Because taffy was not socialised as a pup she is now scared of new people. It takes her a long time to get used to people but with patience and repetition she is slowly becoming more confident.
