For the 1st time she really moved without leaping up and playing around, she loves the shows any chance to meet up with other dogs and play. It was an entry of nine puppies so a big class for puppy bitches, with no class for Minor pups which she still is.

Sunday 3 February All the puppies that are going to new homes except one have now gone. Another of the girls has also gone to live in Buckinghamshire

Have changed my mind again & am now going to keep 2 girls. Holly & Skye.

Tuesday 29th January Have decided today to only keep one puppy Holly. Trying to think of a more original name for her bearing in mind she was born near christmas time! If anyone has any ideas let me know. I am quite useless at choosing names.

Sunday 27th January.  The puppies are eight weeks old next Wednesday and will start going to their new homes. Holly & Skye I am keeping with the view to show one or both of them.

One of the boys the smallest is going to live with a lovely couple in Warwickshire.

Sally is also going to live with them she will have 4 acres of land to play in. I went to see the home as not too far away. I hope she will settle as it is a superb home.

The big boy is going to live in Derby with lovely countryside, one girl is going to live right on a golf course in Buckinghamshire, the other girl has yet to find a home.

Tammy is very well after her babies have no plans for any shows for her yet.

We have settled very well in our new home & do not miss living in London.
