Sophie and Jaffas puppies were born on Monday 2nd June 2008 between 11pm (on the 1st June) and approx 12 noon. We have 3 dog puppies and 1 bitch. They weighed between 480g and 580g. Sophie had a long and difficult delivery culminating in the final puppy being delivered by caesarean.

Heidi - at long last going home with Allen. He has offered her a wonderful new home after she was returned to us. Heidi is going to be one very spoilt young lady!! Thank you Allen - words alone cannot express how grateful we are to you for offering her a fantastic new start in her very short life.
This wonderful lady named Penny has offered to give Magnus an opportunity of a wonderful new life with her and her family in Hampshire. Again Penny, I cannot thank you enough for giving Magnus the chance he so deserves.
