SORRY, Aanick has been sold Small but perfectly formed, Aanick’s big personality makes up for his lack of stature. When Aanick was born, on March 17th, he was the smallest (tiniest!) pup in a litter of 11. We feared the worst, but did our best to ensure he had the best start we could possibly… Continue reading Registered dog puppy available

Cammen Kay – our unsung hero?
Quietly in the background, with no fuss or bluster, we didn’t always give Kay her due! When we bought Kay, at about one year old, our intention was to train her but not, necessarily, to keep her forever. Yet I think Kay is probably the only dog we haven’t ever suggested we could sell.

Brilliant dogs.” This was the text message I received a few days ago from Pippin’s new owner. It’s… Continue reading Pippin – Super Little Sheepdog and Super Mum!
Fifteen years ago these two changed our lives
Little did we know what was around the corner! This photo of Dot and Glen in the boot of Gill’s car, after a January training session, brought memories flooding back to us. Once Dot (left) and later Glen came along, our sheepdog training took on a much more serious and informed nature. Gill and I… Continue reading Fifteen years ago these two changed our lives
Sometimes I Really Miss Carew!
Since Carew left here, Kay’s hearing has deteriorated badly, and occasionally we’re stuck for a skilled dog It’s hard to believe that it’s nearly two years since Carew left here and to be honest, there have been a few occasions when I’ve wished she was still here. One such occasion was only a week or… Continue reading Sometimes I Really Miss Carew!
Too Many Puppies in One Bed!
Lots of memories, but was it really six years ago today? We couldn’t resist showing you this photo of a whole bunch of puppies crowded into one bed! There are lots of fond memories here for us – and it’s a lovely picture too! Audrey – “Calm But Firm” Dulcie – “Get off the Fence”… Continue reading Too Many Puppies in One Bed!
