24/01/12 - Florrie attended her first puppy socialisation class last night which she thoroughly enjoyed. She came home and slept all evening - looking forward to taking her to her first Ringcraft class on Thursday.
08/01/12 - Update on Colonel - his Puppy Parent Jane is having a holiday so Colonel has gone to stay with a foster family for 2 weeks, Nicola is a friend of mine!! She has been puppy sitting for Florrie’s litter when Heather needed to go out etc, such a small world. Expecting lots of photos as Nicki is a photographer too!
30/12/11 - I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas and we wish you all a Happy & Healthy New Year. Our dear little Teddy found a wonderful home just before Christmas, he has made one family very happy and he had settled in well. Many thanks to Nicki for her help in making this all possible. When pointing someone towards the litter page, I now see that there are lots of photos missing there too, I am getting a new desk top computer in the New Year and will make a conscious effort to get the site up and fully functioning as soon as I possibly can. Jaffa is to become a dad again, litter due 1st February.

09/12/11 - Another TV appearance from Colonel and the Hounds for Heroes on BBC News Programmes
01/12/11 - Kevin and I had an absolutely super morning at the H for H centre. We received a very warm welcome and met another breeder. Allen received a cheque from the local Golf Club and I then gave him ours - £450 raised from family and friends - we thank you all enormously. We then watched the training and then had a cuddle with Colonel and a chat with his puppy parent. He has settled in well in his home and the training is going well, he is quick to learn and a very relaxed young man. We hope to visit again to see how the puppies training is coming on. On our way home we called in to see a friend who has puppies - absolutely adorable, all I can say is, ‘watch this space’!!
30/11/11 - New photos added of puppies going to their new homes. Kevin and I are going to visit the Hounds for Heroes Training Centre tomorrow and are really looking forward to seeing Colonel again and watching him and the other puppies training.

17/10/11 - An emotional day for me today. Allen Parton founder of Hounds for Heroes came to collect Colonel today. He is such an adorable puppy, so people orientated, calm and quick to learn, I will really miss him as he has been here on his own for the last day and could have settled in well here... But. he has a very important job to train for and we wish him well with his Puppy Parents and in his advanced training next year.
16/10/11 - Jesse left today, he has gone to live with Sheila, who’s son and daughter-in-law had Jengo from Mia’s litter - they live close by each other and will hopefully grow up to be the best of pals. Poor Colonel, all alone until tomorrow - still, he’s having fun having the run of the house with his mum and other relatives.

12/10/11 - Puppies had a trip to the vet for their check up before leaving for their new homes. As usual we caused chaos in the surgery as everyone wanted to see them! Mr Wells thought they were a lovely litter and all passed their health checks with flying colours. All were very calm and the experience was a positive one for them all.
07/10/11 - Today has been an absolutely fabulous day. I have had the huge honour of one of my puppies being chosen to become one of the initial intake of 5, to be trained as assistance dogs for Hounds for Heroes. I had a visit the week before to see the litter and give them an initial assessment for being people friendly, confident puppies and now one of them has been picked to go forwards into training. He has been named ‘The Colonel’ and I will watch his progress with great interest. Allen Parton has invited me down to the Training Centre to see how they work and I will certainly take up his offer. I have decided to donate this puppy to the Charity and have been asking family/friends/local dog training club etc if they would donate a little something so I could send him on his way with some cash to help with his training. People have been very generous and I want to thank everyone who has donated to this very worthwhile cause.

New photos’s added to Mia and Maisie’s litters.

Email me for time/place etc.
19/04/11 - A very sad day - Shirley took one of the puppies to the vet as he had been reluctant to suckle and she had been having to dropper feed him every 1/2 hours. He had lost weight and looked so small against the others who are gaining weight at an excellent rate. The vet diagnosed a mis-formed palate and he was given peace as it was unlikely he would ever be able to suckle. Unfortunately, these things do happen occasionally but it is hard to understand why. Still, we must be thankful we have 7 other puppies who are thriving and a very contented mum.
17/04/11 - Photos of puppies added as well as new photos of Archie from my In A litter.

27/03/11 - I have just got back from the Tunbridge Wells & District Canine Society’s show at Ardingly. Tizzie came 3rd in the Puppy class, 2nd in the Junior and wait for it FIRST in the Novice class. I am absolutely thrilled with how she performed and the results.

15/02/2011 - Honey and Jaffa have had a very romantic weekend - fingers crossed that we will hear the patter of tiny paws around 17th April.
13/02/11 - Tizzie and I attended our first Championship Show today. We were in the largest class of the day - 26 entries!! We didn’t achieve a placing but Tizzie was really well behaved and our lack of Ringcraft practice didn’t help due to her prolonged season. Still, it was an experience and we had a lovely day out meeting up with some old friends. Sire of my ‘Autumnal’ litter won Best In Show - his second CC - just one more before he’s crowned a Champion!
31/01/11 - I am having such a bad time with the site. Trying to be clever, I copied it onto my laptop so I can update from both machines - well, me/sitebuilder/both of us have deleted some pages when uploading! Now going through to see what is missing and re-do them - sorry.

21/01/11 - BACK ON LINE - at last!! I’ve had a few problems re-building but hopefully all ok now. No pedigree links are working at the moment due to new Windows format - hopefully get that done next week. Recent photos sent to me will also be added shortly.
20/01/11 - Happy 2nd Birthday to Charlie - Maisie’s single puppy from the Limited litter. As you may recall, Charlie’s original owners circumstances changed and he had to find another home, and my goodness, he has found the most fantastic family to love him. I had a lovely email from Maggie last night - as usual she reduces me to tears in her total adoration of Charlie - he is going to be one very spoilt dog today
18/01/11- Brief update on news since last posting. Unfortunately Maisie wasn’t in whelp. We were very disappointed but will try again on her next season. Olly (Sweetest litter) has recently passed the test to become a PAT dog. We are so very proud of him and hope to have a photo of him in his jacket shortly. Nellie (Sweetest litter) passed her KC Silver test on 17th January - well done Michelle and Nellie. Tizzie passed her KC Bronze test just before Christmas.
Unfortunately, the hard drive on my desk top computer went and I have been unable to update the website. All my background work was lost due to the type of programme I use to build it, so I have had to start all over again! Fortunately the repair shop were able to retrieve my photos etc. At this time, pedigrees are not able to be viewed and I have not as yet uploaded any new photographs to the various puppy albums. I hope to get this done within the next few days. Also, some links may not work.
