Meet Our Mascots

Scottish Gem

Name: Yukon

Date of Birth: 1st April 2002

Age: 76

Breed: Border Collie

Colour: Tri-colour

Background: Dana got Yukon from a farm near the small village of West Kilbride in Scotland. She was the only female left in the litter and she climbed over all her brothers to see Dana. She was just like a small ball of fluff and was always up to mischief and loved to sleep under Dana's bed. She has gone everywhere with Dana and is her best friend. Yukon has always been there at time when Dana was ill and often knows when something is wrong.

Personality: Yukon is such a beautiful dog who loves cuddles. She is very loyal and intelligent and is able to travel everywhere with Dana without any problems. She is such a calm and gentle dog but sometimes she will use this to get her way though Dana knows her too well to be fooled.

Lucky Irish Charm

Name: Sligeach/Sligo/Sli

Date of Birth: 2nd February 2003

Age: 6

Breed: Wannabe Border Collie

Colour: Black and White

Background: Sligo was found while Beata and Dana were in County Sligo in Ireland. He followed Yukon and seemed really lost. He was just wanting company. Beata and Dana tried to find his home but know one claimed him. He ended up staying with them while they were in Ireland, taking him and Yukon for huge walks so they couldn't leave him with no home so took him back to Scotland. They decided to name him Sligo - his birth town. He is now Beata's dog going most places with her.

Personality: Sligo is extremely loving and very energetic, he just does not stop! He loves to play frisbee and loves swimming in the sea. Unfortunately he can't play too much frisbee as he has a tendency to get stiff. Sli is really scruffy, and quite the clumsy dog but always very gentle. He is very protective and loyal to Beata, although he love just about everyone.
