Toller Meet at Newgale

On Saturday we managed to get together with a total of 17 dogs on Newgale beach in Pembrokeshire, and a few owners as well.  People came from as far afield as Norfolk, not just for the meet!!!  But it was still quite a way for most people, and it was lovely to catch up with old friends and meet new ones with a common interest.



It was especially nice to see Jane who owns Red (Eve's and her litter siblings dad) and Margaret and David who bred Red, along with some of Red's offspring.

 
 



The weather forecast wasn't ideal but we were not to be put off by the threat of some wind and rain.  It was certainly windy when we arrived and rather overcast, but it wasn't raining thank goodness. Amazingly the beach was busy and we certainly caused quite a stir amongst the other walkers on the beach, all the dogs were inpecably behaved with the exception of trying to pinch another dogs ball.  But in all fairness, one of our dogs did get to it first and was happy if a little reluctant to give it back to it's rightful owner.




The walk did end on a wet note, the rain started as we got to the far end of the beach.  I think the walk back to the cars wasn't quite as leisurely as going at the start.

With the wind and rain it was difficult to talk properly to everyone, you really did have to be at close quarters to make yourself heard and I gave up trying to take photos. 


Once again thank you to Gerald for the pics, they are always much better than mine anyway.

  2. Wow that's a lot of ginger pups!! Looks like far too much fun :) and well done for being good dogs.
    But Rookie says if you are lucky enough to successfully steal another dog's ball, you really ought to get a few big victory laps in first, before you give it back and pretend you never wanted it anyway.
    Love the video too!
