Well the girls got their wish granted for snow to play in. Chris took me to Manchester Champ Show at Stafford on Sunday. We got there fine the main roads were good , the homeward journey was another matter it had snowed all day here and Betty my car only just made it home. Still it was a good day Jas won her first junior class under a Munsterlander specialist judge, against some good opposition. Cassie is very hormonal at the moment, she is not eating terribly well ,normal for her, she often does this when her season is due and is very apathetic so she was not interested in showing herself off .Something she does very well normally. Next outing weather permitting is the club show.

We had a good journey to meet John in Carmarthen, thankfully the week before the weather degenerated. I am in love, what a handsome boy and I feel the pups will be divine. Take a look at Shepherd Puppy Plans 2013 for pictures of John. Ebby came into season and will be due to visit John for her romantic liason in a few days. I am working on Chris to allow me to keep a long coat bitch puppy, fingers crossed.

Congratulations must go to Matt, Kate and Dougie. They have done a magnificent job of making Dougie ,their Munster, up to a full champion. In other words he is one of a few Munsters that is a show ring champion and a working gundog champion. What an incredible achievment.

Jas has had her hips and elbows xrayed and I am awaiting her scores .She has also had her DNA. test for HUU. and much to my delight she is clear.Fingers crossed for low scores for her hips and elbows.

Enjoy the snow with your dogs, while it lasts .
