Trio (Seahaven Borrowed Heaven) & Alfie (Raycris Quite the Charmer)
After a lot of thought and consideration we decided to go ahead and mate Trio! As her season was so late and we knew that she could go even longer until the next season we thought that it was time to have another litter. This did make planning this slightly problematic, as we were planning on having her eyes tested when we go The National Dog Show in May as she was due a eye test. Thankfully there was a clinic being held in Swansea yesterday and we hoped that we could get an early appointment, however as it was Easter we couldn't get hold of the clinic to make an appointment. Thankfully Mr Cormie was very accommodating and fitted us in at short notice, this would enable us to have the test and then travel north to Alfie.
The day didn't start well with us planning on arriving in Swansea early to at least be available if the clinic was running ahead of time and have the eye drops in. We managed to set of at a decent time but after ten miles realised that I'd left my purse at home! So a quick return which initially delayed us by half an hour, the traffic was dreadful as the rain was creating a lot of spray on the road and visibility was poor. We arrived at the clinic as Mr Cormie arrived and he put drops into Trio's eyes straight away so that he could test her as soon as he had set up. As she was in season we left her in the car until the last minute, when we did go in it was a German convention! A LM, two Schnauzers, and a Doberman! Thankfully all was well and she got a A1 pass!!
We were all set to travel up to meet with Alfie! Just over four hours later we arrived in Rotherham, Lynn had kindly agreed to meet us there to save us travelling another hour to her house. A quick cup of tea and a catch up with Lynn, Christine and Ray and then down to business.
Alfie was a complete gentleman, and after a little bit of coaxing got down to business. Trio wasn't the usual wanton hussy and took some persuasion! However we did have a successful mating and a good tie of 20 minutes.
After travelling all the way up it was then time to travel home, and finally arrived home in the early hours of Thursday. We did have a bit if fun (only word for it!) on the M43 at Birmingham trying to get on the M5, we passed the sign for Shirley more times than I'd have liked! We even managed to very nearly visit Lucy's old house just off the A45, how the satnav sent us there I'll never know! Over 10 hours of driving and over 600 miles, we certainly travel for the best.
Now it's time to wait and see if we have the patter of paws at the end of June!

Cooper is back!
Well - seems like ages since I've written anything so just a quick catch up.
Today we went to the West Country Dog Show in Thornbury Leisure Centre. We really like this show - easy to get to, good free parking, acres of fields and woods to run around after, and lots of space in the hall to strut your stuff. A really well run show. Toller classes too which is welcomed in an Open show. I was in Post Graduate. There were only two classes, with Open as well. Fifteen toller entries - for an Open show that is really good. I went well and got a Third - not as good as last year, but it was a tougher class.
On Saturday I'm in WELKS in Malvern, then early in May it's up to Stafford. So a bit of travelling to come. I love the shows but not the ring too much. I like to meet all the other dogs and have a good scream when I see others getting excited. I'm also at the age now when I'll tell off any other testosterone fuelled dogs if they push their face into mine. Hey - I know I get a row for it but you can't be a shrinking violet all your life! It's all handbags really - I'm fine in the ring.
Had some fun last week with a few walks along Neath Canal. A bit of excitement one day in particular when I detected a distinct "duck" smell down an embankment off the side of the canal. Rushed down to have a closer look and a huge Mammy Mallard took off. And you know what was under her - a load of lovely looking eggies. I sniffed all around them - they smelled really good - they looked even better. But then Dad screamed at me to come back before I could have any for breakfast. Pity - because I'm sure they'd have been delicious. Dad took me back the next day - on a lead at this part - to check everything was OK and lo and behold, Mammy Mallard was back in the same place, keeping the eggs nice and cosy. I can't wait to see those little ducklings swimming in my canal!

Having a Relaxing Spring
Well after such a busy start to the year, we've been having a more restful April and it hasn't done any of us any harm at all!
The dogs have been enjoying some nice walks, and it's been so much easier with the drier weather and lighter evenings. We've even managed to get some of the agility equipment out now that the ground has dried up, and Eve will start her agility classes in a few weeks time. Eleanor has been introducing her to some foundation work and she is very keen to work for her, so all is looking positive.
We have changed our vehicle back to a van, and just need to oganise caging to have it ready to go for the show season. It was sad to say goodbye to the Tepee, but another member joining the Seahaven dog family we just needed the extra room.
The tollers are being walked separately at the moment due to both Maddie and Trio being in season. It's amazing the difference in how the dogs act on their walks depending on who's with who. The munsters really do encourage the tollers to move when they're all out together. On the plus side they have been much more enthusiastic to swim, as they are so keen with the munstes as they get to the retrieve first.
Decisions, decisions!
Trio is late coming into season, and we are planning a litter from her. Do we mate her this time, or do we wait until next season? Really not sure what to do, we have some people on our puppy list, but would prefer to have some more before going ahead with a mating. If we wait we may well lose some of these!! If anyone is considering a LM puppy please do get in touch for a chat.

NSDTR Club Champ Show - Bron Beast
Sunday saw us getting up at 5am much to the dogs amusement for the Toller Club Champ Show in leicester (these faces say it all - what time is THIS?)
Dawn & Gerald kindly allowed Bron and I to hitch a lift with the lovely Cooper as they only live about half an hour away, and together Bron & Cooper sang beautifully (and loudly) to all of the neighbours just to let them know where they were going at 6.45am on a Sunday morning :-)
Lots of ginger dogs packed in to the hall, we arrived pretty much bang on opening time thinking we would get a place before anyone else but the hall was already jam packed! Anyway we sat ringside and enjoyed watching the lovely dogs parading round and catching up with friends. Bron and Cooper did plenty of singing for a bit, you know just to make sure everyone knew they were there....
I entered 3 classes hedging my bets knowing there would be a lot of entries (143 entries - 99 dogs!) and the competetion would be fierce. First class was Junior Bitch which was ok but I didn't think Bron went round very well as there was a lot of food on the floor distracting her so she didn't run very straight, thought had blown it and we got 3rd place! qualifying for Crufts!
Next round was Post Grad Bitch with 12 entries and a lot of big girls so didn't expect anything at all. Bron went like a dream (well I thought she did anyway) ran lovely on a loose lead out in front of me and stood nicely, the judge came back and felt her shoulders again and we were shortlisted! Then blow me down we were pulled for 2nd place! stunned and over the moon.
Well, after that it was straight in again for Limit bitch which I had entered by mistake (as only a novice and didn't realise at the time it was a class for the big girls!) so I felt a right pillock standing there among all the people with dogs that show abroad and are hardened showers that are well known, decided to chalk it up to experience and just use it as practice, having already asked early on if I could pull out and was told no! Anyway again Bron went like a dream run well, stood lovely and the judge again came back and felt her shoulders and again we were shortlisted! What happened next really was amazing - a hat trick! We got a Reserve in a class of 19! BIG GRINS. I heard a couple of people shout 'Well Done Jane' as I came out but don't know who they were. Beastie did us proud! It was worth getting soaked with that bath after all!
Vicky & Steve had come across from Norfolk to support us and Cooper too (I will let him give his news) they brought along Piri and Echo as well and will be coming to the next Champ Show in Stafford so will be needing helpers in the ring with the girls. Let's help them too as their girls are looking great too. The only downside was that Donna wasn't able to go last minute so I hope the news makes up for the disappointment of not going x
So proud of my little beastie beast Bron, she has changed so much over the last couple of months and is starting to (dare I say it) grow up a little. Still a beast but lovable beast. Pressure is off now so it doesn't matter if we don't get placed again!

Rookie's Trip to Crufts
We've just about recovered from Crufts 2014 now, it was a brilliant day, but soooo tiring even for a bouncy spotty dog.
The day after, Carol, who owns Libby, and I went for breakfast, then we took Rookie for a walk around Carol's local park. Libby couldn't come because quite selfishly she decided to come into season just before Crufts! And if I didn't know that, whilst I was in Carol's house Rookie decided to serenade us from the van just to tell me!!
Some pics from the walk.
And now for some pics of another beautiful Trio daughter- Libby. I have only met the two dogs from this litter but I think they are just wonderful, really lovely dogs. Libby is full of life and character, and just so sweet!
Hope we get to see you all again next year!
Jess and Rookie
Great to meet the lovely Cooper and give him some chin scratches and a sneaky cuddle, what a handsome chap that boy is! Rookie would desperately loved to play chase and splat the toller with you but we were about to go in the ring! ;)
It was great to see everyone again, thoroughly enjoyed my cuddles with Trio and Maddie too, and meeting Yvie. She is a real little star, as I've said before there is something really special about those girls. Huge congratulations on everyone's success, a Crufts to beat, I'm sure.
I was thrilled with Rookie, he went really well in the ring and had a ball entertaining the public, posing for photos with them, having cuddles, and having a good old flirt with everyone! Just love spending time with this boy, he is a pleasure.
A few pics from that day and the one that followed.

CRUFTS 2014
Sorry for the delay, took some time to recover from Sunday!
Well an early start and a long day, but a sunny spring one! Fantastic to walk to the halls in the sun, or at least walk part of the way. With four dogs and all of the paraphernalia we decided to hop on a bus, along with Megane and her family who we met up with in the car park. This is the first time that the dogs had every been on a bus, but they all took it in their stride even getting some attention on the journey.
Large Munsterlanders were being judged from 9.00 am in Hall 4 with the NSDTRs starting at 10.00am in Hall 4 so we decamped all dogs etc on the LM benching. Sorted ourselves out and said a few hellos and managed to get to the ring to watch Rookie and Jess in the Post Graduate Dog class. This was Rookie's first time in with the big boys, as he is now out of age restricted classes, Morry was entered in this class too but sadly couldn't be with us.
Rookie looked quite the part and gave a creditable performance and was awarded a Reserve in a strong class. He was then also awarded a 3rd in the Good Citizen Class!!
After this we took the tollers down to their hall and set Eleanor up with the dogs on benching before returning to the LMs. The volume of people was enormous and we found it really difficult to move the dogs through the throngs of people without getting trodden on, so decided to keep the tollers on benching with Eleanor and we would bring the LMs down there when their judging had finished.
Maddie's class came around quite quickly, she was entered in Veteran for the first time at a Champ show. This was the biggest class of the day, and contained a number of champions sadly Maddie wasn't placed this time and she came home from Crufts without a card or rosette.
Megane (Seahaven Celtic Cariad) & Yvie (Seahaven Olympic Uthopia) were entered in Post Graduate Bitch, Yvie just missing out on the Junior class by a matter of weeks! At just 19 months Yvie won the class!! Nicola's face was a picture when they were called in, we were all so thrilled. Megane was rather over whelmed by the excitement and was a wriggly monkey for Hazel during judging. Trio also returned to the ring partnered by Tasha and they gained a VHC in the Good Citizen class. It was quite emotional seeing her look so good again, the last six months of work really paying off.
All unbeaten bitches returned to the ring for the challenge, and it was exciting to see Nicola & Yvie in with all the other winners. It was so fantastic to see Yvie being awarded the Reserve Bitch CC!! This will be the first Stud Book Number for us as breeders, and Nicola as owner. So, so proud of them both!!
Quick exit down to the tollers, just in time to see the bitch judging start, and the judges lunch break! At least this gave us an opportunity to have a bite to eat and chat to friends.
We also had a chance to find out how Cooper got on with Dawn in Post Graduate Dog. Cooper went really well, and was awarded Reserve. He then gained another Reserve in the Good Citizen class, well done Cooper some big classes there and stiff competition.
Judging soon resumed and Eleanor was in with Eve in the Junior and then Yearling Class, gaining a VHC in both of the classes. She was so well behaved for Eleanor, showing herself so well but does need to mature more compared to others in the class. Lucy was in the next class Post Graduate Bitch with Milly, being placed 3rd and qualifying for Crufts 2015! Milly looks better and better each time we see her, keep it up Lucy. Eleanor swopped dogs and took Tilly in for the Limit class where they gained a VHC, and had another VHC in the Good Citizen class. Was great to see Milly win this class!!!
There was no time for shopping or visiting other rings due to being so busy, and the venue being so busy. Roll on next year when Gundogs will be on a Thursday, allowing us a weekend of shopping!!
Sorry for the quality of the pics, the light was awful in the NEC due to the sun shinning!

Welsh Team at OJAC
Well last weekend was OJAC with the girls and dogs representing the Welsh junior agility team. A long drive to Cambridgeshire, and we managed a stop en route to visit Carol with Libby (Trio's daughter). Was lovely to see them both, we hadn't managed to meet up since August when Libby qualified for Crufts at Paignton champ show. As I'm due to handle her this weekend I thought that it might be a good opportunity to have a bit of a practice. Considering how excited she was to see us she managed to stand quite well and hope that this is a good omen for Crufts this weekend.
OJAC started bright and early on the Saturday morning with the opening ceremony at 7.30 am! It was great to see all the countries kitted out and flying their flags, banners etc there really was a fantastic atmosphere.
Saturday was the day of the jumping rounds for both teams and individuals, both girls were in the Over 12 team. In the morning Tasha managed a clear with Maddie, and Eleanor was sadly eliminated. Later in the day the girls had individual runs and Eleanor ran in the Under 12s and having a bit more confidence picked up a few faults but was thrilled with her round. Tasha then had her run again with Maddie to pick up another clear round. The final scores for the day saw their team 12th out of 29, a fantastic result!
Sunday again was an early start with course walking at 7.45 am! Again the team runs were in the morning and the girls were in the same teams of O12s. Eleanor was really growing in confidence and just picked up a few faults but there were some fantastic bits of work from her and Tilly. Again Tasha managed a clear round! Later on in the day they had their individual runs, Eleanor managed her first clear round of the event with Tilly in the U12s! Sadly Tasha was caught out and Maddie got a bit full of herself and decided on jumping an extra jump at the beginning of the course resulting in an elimination. Silly dog that she is, she then managed to get right the difficult bits of the course, but that's agility for you!
The girls had such a fantastic experience, the team spirit was fantastic and their was no pressure other than to go out and do their best and have fun! They all looked great in their Welsh strip, and on the Sunday afternoon swopped tops with members of the Irish team members! Huge thanks to Martin Cavill and Emma Haines who coached and managed the team. Also thanks to Genesis dog food who kindly donated samples of their dog food - the dogs have really enjoyed this!
The team finished 11th on Sunday, moving up one place. Individually Tasha was highly placed, but the final results haven't yet been published. They both came away with a certificate and rosette from the event and hope to make the team again next year.
Now to think about Crufts!
