Welcome to 2015, we hope you all had a lovely holiday period. Our puppies are growing up and those that are off to new homes are settling in well, our last baby goes in February. Those that are staying on are having fun collecting toys, playing in water and trying to avoid lead training! but its all good fun.
Only Oliver and his half sister Meme have been out to shows so far this year and we are pleased to say that both are adding points to there Tallies, Meme is racing a coat drop to her title, we hope that she wins it.
