The whole kennel packed up and went to Scotland for the weekend. We brought the camper van and stayed in it on the friday night and it was so comfortable we slept in lol. We got off to Wishaw for the shhc show and afterwards we walked and fed dogs and we to the health spa and swimming for the humans :) Sat night was spent with some husky friends, it was great to see old friends and enjoy a wee dram and the Indian was lush :) Sunday morning saw us off to the SKC under Fred Palmer, being fashionably late and unprepared isnt doing us any favours, rushed into ring for post grad for Alladins 3rd show ever and he got a respected 3rd place out of a class of 13 :) not bad for a boy 3 classes above what he should have been in , and his ever pulling against the show lead! very pleased we are qualified for Crufts:) His brother (deshkas togo) got 1st in Junior and took the reserve ticket:)
some wee piccies of the weekend
more pictures to come
Summer has been humid, hot, windy and wet like most Irish summers :( dogs have been enjoying the sunshine and are sorely missing there harnesses in the past 5 weeks. Alladin has turned into a fine young man (cocking his leg lol). All dogs went for there rabies shots at the vets and all got a full health check , all were grand but Buffy needs some attention to her teeth :( ..... keeping our options open to a french snow holiday next year or maybe visiting good friends in Sweden.
Ive really been neglecting my site lately :( but been having a few trips to shows over the water to try out a few judges. Has been fun visiting friends and handling naughty pups lol. We have been getting a few runs in here and there. The kennel is still on the look out for a new pad on the mainland but i hasten to add with the property crashing at long last looks like we will be stuck here for a good bit. Puppies are 1 on Friday! can you believe it? its unreal that still no seasons in the kennel for past year also. At present out litter plans are on hold because of this but we would really like another male in the kennel so if we dont breed we are on the look out for one as buying is much easier than breeding.
