November - December 2009

Saturday 21st November

Izzie's puppies have been born and we welcome to the world, two boys and two girls, Felix, Forrest, Florence and Fifi. Both Izzie and her babies are doing well. More pics to follow soon - for now, the Welcome page ones will have to suffice!

Congratulations too, to Elena and all at Kennel De Los Tres Robles, on the birth of Kye's first litter. Sue, their mother and the four puppies are all doing great already.

Dave took the long drive up to Edinburgh on Friday for Gundog Breeds of Scotland Championship show under judge, Jock Mackay. It was a hideous journey with the worst kind of weather and took forever. However, the show wasn't a bad one for us, with Kye winning his Yearling Dog class again and Seamus finishing third in Open. Post Graduate Bitch was won by Rattan and second to her was Holly. Little Sadie, Peasblossom Dream for Amandian finished 4th and 2nd in Minor Puppy Bitch and Puppy Bitch respectively.

Some good news too that yesterday, Kaila, (Gaolachcara Cliodna) - Seamus' daughter - took yet another Best In Show, this time at the Ladies Kennel Association Of Scotland. Congratulations once again from all of us.

Finally we have added some photos of the puppies taken at six weeks. Click here to view. Not the best 'stands' in the world, but it's a start!

Monday 9th November

No show news whatsoever but looking forward to the long journey to Scotland at the weekend (?) We have been spending our time entertaining the puppies and meeting the prospective owners. The puppies will have some lovely homes to go to in a few weeks time. Five new photos and a video clip have been added to the puppy gallery on the Current Litters page. They are now very much 'real dogs' and play (and fight!) but still sleep alot!

Monday 2nd November

Yesterday was the Midland ESS Championship Show and a dismal day all round really with Ninja unplaced in Limit Bitch and Kye, 3rd in Yearling Dog. A good one for Toash and Kaila (Gaolachcara Oghma and Cliodna) though both winning two classes apiece. Well done!

New pic of Ninja added to our Welcome page today as well as two photos of the puppies added to the Current Litters page. Hopefully, we will get round to taking some better shots in the coming week or two.
