Looks about a year old. free to the right home. This is Aboyne area. Black and white and not really long haired.

I can't take him as I've just taken on two lovely collie girls (and have two other dogs!)

Let me know by PM if anyone would like the Contact number and I'll get it scribbled down when im down next (tomorrow earliest)

This group particularly targets collies advertised as free on these sites and has a network of people all over that can get the dogs to safety quickly.
