Many of you already know Namaya and her nine puppies, our forever family, through Beau’s Pawsitive. For those who don’t know our story, Legend of Puppy – Mercy Sanctuary was born from one simple promise: I will not abandon you! I will do everything I can to keep you safe, I will become your human that will help you navigate though this very challenging life. I will be your forever person. Where We Are Today At the moment, we’re living in a very temporary, makeshift situation.

This week has been a very special milestone for Namaya and her family. As thousands of visitors arrive for the RHS Sandringham Flower Show, our dogs have been quietly experiencing all the excitement from nearby during their training with Beau’s Pawsitive Dog Training. For dogs who were once street dogs in Taiwan, calmly observing hundreds of people, increased traffic, unfamiliar sounds and so many new experiences is a remarkable achievement. Every positive experience helps th

— Every Day We See Progress — Every day, we see progress. Real, meaningful progress. Working with a group of young rescue dogs is never going to be a silent, instant process—but it is a deeply rewarding one. At Beau’s Pawsitive Dog Training, we are seeing steady, meaningful progress in our dogs every single day. ✧ ✧ ✧ — Who These Dogs Are — These are rescue dogs. They are all related—Namaya and her nine puppies—and they have grown up together as a family. Because of this, the

Counting Our Blessings — The Foundation of Our Future It has been more than a year since the puppies were born, and not yet a full year since our arrival in the United Kingdom; and yet, the passage from one moment to the other has been marked by trials of no ordinary kind. When I first met Namaya in Taiwan, and assisted her in bringing life into the world, I was permitted to witness something rare and extraordinary. That moment, however, was soon overtaken by circumstances of

Dog training is more than teaching commands; it builds trust, social skills, and confidence in dogs. Recently, Bonzo, the playful stooge and demo dog for Beau's Pawsitive Dog Training, had an exciting afternoon that perfectly illustrates how positive interactions and gradual introductions can create a joyful training experience. This story highlights the value of patience, socialisation, and fun in dog training. Building Trust Through Fence Work Fence work is a common trainin

Today I would like to share a little more about our journey here in Sandringham. More than anything, this experience has shown us how much the support of the community truly means — not only to the dogs, but to all of us. Caring for ten young rescue dogs is, at times, overwhelming, and it is through the kindness and encouragement of those around us that we are able to continue. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a well-managed and supportive training environment

Namaya fence training at Sandringham Understanding Training, Barking, and the Nature of Formosan Mountain Dogs Life at Legend of Puppy Sanctuary is not only about rescue. It is about understanding the nature of the Formosan Mountain Dog, exercising patience, and helping these remarkable animals adapt to life here in the United Kingdom, in Sandringham. Namaya’s puppies are now approximately twelve months old. To many people they may already look like adult dogs, yet behaviour

There are moments in life when one encounters a story so gentle and hopeful that it feels almost like the opening chapter of a novel. Allow me to introduce Namaya and her remarkable puppies: Moon, Ziggy, Fleur, Luna, Prana, Habibi, Xingxing, Aura, and Soleil. When I first encountered Namaya, she was heavily pregnant and in a state of great distress. She had been born into the life of a Taiwanese street dog, where survival is rarely easy and every day demands resilience, cauti

Before the puppies could begin their new life in the United Kingdom, an enormous amount of preparation had to happen behind the scenes. Bringing rescue dogs from Taiwan to Europe is not something that can be done casually. Every step must be carefully planned and completed legally, with strict veterinary requirements and official documentation. For me, it was essential that everything was done properly and transparently. The preparation began months before the journey itself.

One of the most meaningful developments in this journey has been discovering that building stability for ten rescue dogs does not have to be done alone. Access to the secure space at Beau’s Pawsitive Dog Training in Sandringham has allowed us to begin creating something structured, consistent, and community-based. To make this sustainable long term, I am looking for one or two local volunteers who would like to be part of this process. What support looks like: • Being present

The Taiwanese Formosan Mountain Dog deserves recognition as a true national treasure. There is a brilliance about her, an alertness that misses nothing, and a sparkling spirit that feels both ancient and intelligent. She communicates without words and reads emotion before it is spoken. When she looks at you, it

Tuesday Tips - try and use your dogs daily food allowance in different ways. - Enrichment - Training - Scent Work/Find It Games Bonzo enjoys getting his food out of toilet rolls as well as different enrichment toys. It's also used for training at home and then I mix in some extra bits for out and about. Even when he's out working he doesn't know if its going to be his normal food or something different.
