Crufts Discover Dogs

 

Remus and Luna had their turn on the Discover Dogs stand at Crufts yesterday. Remus and Luna worked their public and had a great day! As always they soaked up all the attention!!

AND a show is not complete without a visit to Mike Bloxsome on the Eukanuba stand for biscuits and cuddles!

Congratulations

Congratulations to Ronnie and Susan Ross for their Islstrom Quillan who went Best of Breed and Reserve Best In Show at the South West Scotland Gundog Association Show under Penny Williams this weekend.
Quillan is sired by Seymour and is out of the beautiful girl Show Champion Islstrom Farranta who Ronnie and Susan sadly lost recently.

Fingers crossed for Quillan at Crufts on Sunday xx

Fingers crossed for Lola and Mary x

Visit to Brightmoor

Thankyou to Wies Boermans of the Brightmoor Kennel for a lovely weekend in Holland. Jenny Campbell, Hayley Walker and I have spent the weekend cooing over the lovely babies. Their father is the Swedish boy Boltiltorps Reason to Believe (Rio) and their mother is Netherlands Champion Brightmoor Irish mist (Misty).

Misty is a Dutch born girl of English breeding, her mother is Rainesgift Mid Summers Dream bred by me and and exported to Holland in 2002.
The puppies and Wies were visited by the Dutch Kennel Club whilst we were there. The puppies are observed in their enviroment and identichipped by the representative from the Kennel Club. A scheme perhaps we should adopt here in England as maybe some of the more unscrupulous breeders wouldn't be left to continue their ways .....

Wishing Wies, the puppies and their new owners all the very best and I hope the puppies will follow in their parents and grandparents footsteps xx

Quiet morning at Rainesgift

But look whose up to no good .... The oldies who should know better !!!

Making the most of the fantastic weather

Today has been the most beautiful day and we have been out making the most of it. Rosie (Calswish Rosebud) and Finn Rainesgift Hucklebery Finn to Lizzlog have been over and had a great time swimming in the River. Finn has loved playing with his mum Linnet as she likes to play rough too.

Rosie has had a tidy up for Crufts as she has too much hair in the wrong places whilst Finn like his mother Linnet has no hair!!! I have all the dogs in different stages of coat at the moment as our weather has just confused them.
