What are your favourite characteristics in your dog?
Big ears, cute paws and a big smile
What makes your dog such a great animal?
Head to toe full of fun!
What dog welfare issues do you think need tackling?
Over breeding, puppy farms. Everyone who has a dog should have a licence.
What role should training and socialisation play in a dog’s life and what is your top training tip?
All dogs should be socialised. It’s the owners who have the issues, not the dogs!
Top tip is – plenty of praise when they do something right. Dogs that is, not the owners!
Why should your dog be crowned Holyrood Dog of the Year 2018?
He was called Albert after Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s husband. He is a wee Prince and should always be crowned wherever he goes!
