Monty & Jeff

Well known to the local dog walking crowd as Jeffers and Moo, this Border Terrier and Labrador combo bring bags of enthusiasm, lateral thinking and an unfailing ability to know exactly when it’s time for lunch. As stooge dogs for practical exercises or purely because we can’t find a dog sitter, they’ll add valuable insights to any course.
