Koda is a rescue dog. We have had him for two years. He is very wary of strangers, but after a brief introduction is extemely affectionate towards people. With other dogs, first meeting can be a problem but he is fine after being introduced. We do not know his history but his initial fear of men leads us to think that he was kicked or beaten in his former life. He has boundless energy and will retrieve a ball all day long. We live in a modern detached bungalow with a large totally enclosed garden which backs on to a glen with a stream running through. A truly idyllic location. We have a large variety of birds and also red squirrels visiting our garden.
