Fudge was bought as a companion for our lab-collie cross Pudding. The hope was that Fudge would copy all Pudding's good habits and train herself, however Pudding is the one who has learned a thing or two. At the grand old age of eight she's decided that she's going to become a lap dog, whether we like it or not. She gets this stubborn glint in her eyes and just launches herself onto your knee, then she hangs on for dear life. I'm convinced that she finds sitting on our knees almost as uncomfortable as we find having her there, but she is convinced that because Fudge does it, then it must be rewarding in some kind of way.We are often asked where the name Pudding comes from, and there are two answers to that. Firstly we saw a Mastiff called Pudding and liked the name, secondly Pudding is black with white patches, a bit like a black-pudding (blood sausage).
There is a beautiful little Jack Russell dog that we know in Ilkley, also called Pudding. However this dog got his unusual name because, and I quote his owner here "He's got a spotted dick" - think about it!
