Happy New Year

Well what a busy Christmas period! 

We had seven people and ten dogs here for Christmas, and all had a great time.  Unfortunately I was ill over the holiday period, but all ran smoothly here due to a fantastic family who all rallied round.

Tilly's pups have all been off to their new families over the last few weeks, with only Pumpkin remaining here a little longer.  All have settled well with their new families and we hope to hear from some of them on here in the future.

2014 was a fabulous year for us here at Seahaven.  We had two dogs achieve Stud Book Numbers, one of each breed.  Yvie (LM - Seahaven Olympic Uthopia) achieved hers at Crufts and has since passed the LMC Natural Aptitude Test and is a busy working gundog this winter.  Cooper (NSDTR - Seahaven's Galatic Storm) gained his at The National Gundog Champ Show this summer.  Both are still young and have so much more to come.

Eve exceeded all of our expectations this year, with a number of good wins and placings in the adult classes and finished the season with a Reserve Best Bitch and then a Best Bitch all before she was two years old.

Trio made such a fabulous comeback after her injury in 2013, being highly placed at champ shows, and winning her only agility competition that she attended in 2014.

A number of the Seahaven dogs have also done well this year, and we have a number again qualified for Crufts including our own dogs Paddockridge Madelaine at Seahaven (Maddie), Seahaven Borrowed Heaven (Trio) and Seahaven Parish Bell (Eve).  We're hoping that they will be joined by LMs Max, Megan and Yvie, and NSDTRs Cooper, Milly and Bron.

Eleanor and Tasha were again selected for the Welsh squad for OJAC, but due to other commitments have declined the offer and hope to make the team next year instead.  Both have qualified for The Welsh Junior Handler of the Year in February. Eleanor will handle Eve for the handling finals at Crufts this year, a fantastic achievement for them.

So going into 2015 looks like it could be an exciting year!

Tilly and Woody's pups will make their debuts in the show ring, and they look so promising at the moment.

Crufts, not just for the showing but a chance to get together with the Seahaven family and friends.

We will again be attending a number of Champ shows over the year and hope to fit in a few agility shows too!

We are hoping for a final litter from Trio (Seahaven Borrowed Heaven) this summer, which will give us our much hoped for youngster to continue the Seahaven LM line.

We are also hoping to have a litter from Eve (Seahaven Parish Bell) later on in the year, she has really matured and we look forward to seeing what she can produce.

If anyone is interested in either litter please do get in contact for more information.
