May we introduce " Pebbles "On Christmas Day we set of from Norfolk to the South Coast to collect very precious cargo. Gill and Lance bred a beautiful litter out of Emma (Woody's daughter) by Travis. Over the last few years we have either bred all blues or dog puppies so we now have our orange bitch and we are thrilled with her.

N.E.S.S.
Last Sunday 7th Dec. our friend Marc (from Belgium), Woody, Frankie and I
set of for the N.E.S.S show at Elsecar. It is a lovely show with a festive
feel. Frankie was first in the ring in the Open Stakes where Hilary Jones
was judging and she placed Frankie 2nd. She then had to go straight in to
the Mid Limit class under Patsy Hollings and was 3rd. Finally Woody went into
a super Open class under Ros Croft and he won it. Sadly he went very
lethargic in the challenge but it was a lovely way to probably end his show
career.

turned round and this was the photo of Blickling Hall from across the lake.
Then we all needed a long drink and our picnic !
