I had a great morning at the Blitzan's house. They are brilliant dogs and as Ali said, they all had a go at sitting on me (I think). Prima wasn't sure at first and then she couldn't get enough tummy tickling, she is so sweet. Ali's right about Leah washing them all, she makes sure none of them have a dirty face - reminds me of my Nan when she used to wipe all the granchildren's faces with the same hankie (yuk!).I couldn't get over how like Domino they are, bouncy, licky, cuddly, and a bit naughty. I can't wait to have a puppy, hopefully by Christmas, we'll have one of them here.
Judith, sorry I was at Ali's when you phoned this morning, it must be so hard seeing the puppies go, but Ringo does look happy in his photos. Hope the new owners get some sleep tonight.
Domino and I went to our second training class tonight, and she was the star of the class. She didn't pull me at all, did all that I asked perfectly, didn't bat an eyelid at the other dogs. I just can't believe it, I thought she would be a nightmare. I wish she was as cooperative at home though - like a different dog, so I'll have to work on that.

Of course you're having a Diva baby Elspeth, your top of the list for a girl, I am keeping a boy, I've got bookings coming in for all the planned litters even 2 for Summer who will be next summer 2009, not all booked up yet though! ;-)
Judith to make it easier for you just remember coming home last Friday and you'll be glad to hand the darlings over!!!
I'm very glad James is coming to Birmingham too otherwise I would have three extra to show, not sure I will manage the two, let alone 5, phew, not a chance, but then you could of done it for me Elspeth, no worries.
Ringo looks very happy and unfazed by his first car trip, and I think Stig look quite happy with his new addition.

Hi
Rosie love the pics, also especially like the forth, he looks very happy, his paws almost look bigger than Stigs already.
first hours home
Just a few photo's of Ringo's first hours at home.He is just adorable , Stig is very bemused and not all sure what to do with him.He has eaten ,drank and been outside to wee and poo. He is just the cutest.I just love the forth photo.
Congratulations
Tracie Cindi and Blue! Beautiful puppies!
Looking forward to it Ali (I was not sure we were allowed the dogs in the bar hence my nominating Gregor to stay with dogs) So James is able to come then? Are we still down for a Diva pup? I hope so. Ceilidh is desperate for a little sister. She has such a great time when we have her out with the other dogs. Oh, my neck will be fine come the show, got vallium to relax the muscles from the doctor today. Hurrah!
Judith, you mentioned a pup that is coming to live in Scotland, is it the new owners first munster? Where about in Scotland? I feel terible for you having them all go to thier new homes. It must be so difficult. It will be rewarding when you see them growing up on the blog though!

TWO GONE NOW
Well little Ringo is gone now, Brodie off to bonny Scotland in the morning,oh dear.
Mungo and Ringo's leaving picture :-(
Blitzans and Canada
Joanne we would all love to come to Canada, you may regret encouraging us, perhaps we can sort something out after Diva and Pima's litters and before Summer's. You are always welcome to fly over and stay with us that would be fantastic to have, perhaps you could time it with one of my litters so you could dog nap a boy home for Duchess!!!!!
Elspeth, not sure yet what time we will leave I will give you a bell on your mobile once we are nearly there, we could of course take the dogs down to the bar, failing that how would Gregor cope with three women, one growing lad, and 5 Munster's if he can face it we could all pile in our room for a drink or two, (might even need three with 6 Munsters in a hotel room!!!)
See you next week! x x Safe Journey.

Good Morning
had with Karen this morning, lots of Doggy chat and Karen wore my lot well, Maddie did her I am going to stand in front of you and bark at you until you understand what I am saying.........
Leah did I am going to lean on you so heavily that you will, in the end give me most of the seat.
Prima stood in front lifting her leg for a tickle and then threw herself onto her back next to Karen on the sofa for a tummy tickle, and we got away with Logi and Diva in together, it wont be long till they are apart though, probably tomorrow, so a nice relaxing time and a Prima puppy planned for Domino's new best Friend!

Jealousy in Canada
Good luck to all the new puppy owners! I am having puppy withdrawls! Congratulations to you James, very well done. The downside to being in Canada, is not being able to travel a short while to see all the Blitzans and their owners. I still think Ali should come visit us here in Beautiful British Columbia! c'mon bring the family!! Maybe someday I will have to come see your corner of the world, looks beautiful!
Joanne

Thanks Ali, we are thinking about leaving at maybe 8am so probably get there mid afternoon. That gives us time to have a nice walk and wash her before leaving and the towelling coat on in the car. Another walk on way down and walk when we get there (the aim is to tire her out so she actually sleeps, she gets restless on her first night somewhere and we get no sleep). What time were you thinking on arriving? Drinks sound good to me! Are we allowed to leave dogs in the rooms? Gregor would probably stay with Ceilidh, she is too teenage to leave on her own somewhere other than home or our families houses.
We are just back from ring classes (I have been really bad and missed the last 2/3 weeks just from being really busy and working to get her her bronze etc) The woman saw a huge difference in her and thought she had vastly improved! Then a man swapped with her half way through and she was scared of him. She acted as if he was our strange neighbour, but I have to admit she was not the only dog that looked intimidated and misbehaved for him. Very abrupt and heavy handed. Apart from that she couldn't have done better. Her trot was perfect every time, even when passing inches from the other dogs, so that is a bonus. She really looks like she enjoys it which is all that matters. She will love the show next week with lots of dogs around her and all of the fantastic smells, and the being spoilt rotten. I am a huge sucker for the stalls!
When do you find out how many dogs are in your class etc? Or is that just when you arrive?

Joking Ali, that's fine I am glad you and Karen like them here's the video. Sid is trying to tell Ilka how it works with the tennis ball but she's not listening. Our old cottage is in the back ground : ( and that little shed has no permission we live in part of the big one with the grey roller shutter door, but I'm not complaining as I'm sorry to hear others like you Ali have much much worse neighbours.
Lovely pictures of Ilka Sophie, she is a very good looking girl - I do like the darker Munsters - I think my next one (hopefully) will be dark.
Elspeth, Maggie was faced with swans at the resevoir last weekend, they did hiss at her but she is quite a coward and once they turned towards her she came rushing back. It's things that run away that she likes to chase and the poor ducks didn't stand a chance! I'm sure you'll get there in the end especially with Ali's good advice! I took Maggie back to the ducks this afternoon on a long line with the idea of walking past and having control of her on the line. Unfortunately before I'd even got started, as I had the rope in my hand and was trying to sort the rope out she decided to shoot off - being an idot I kept hold of the rope and now have a fairly painful rope burn coverning four fingers of my left hand! Not a good idea, worked when she was a puppy but a bit too strong for me now. She did stop at the sound of me screeming though (lol. I ended up just doing some whistle training in the paddock, which she did well but of course there are no ducks to chase there! I'm determined to get on top of this though, so tomorrow I will take her back on a short lead and walk past telling her to leave and see how that goes.
It must be sad for you Judith saying goodbye to all those lovely pups in a bitter sweet sort of way - I'm sure you'll enjoy the rest and knowing they are going to lovely homes must help but I'm sure you must build up a bond with them in those couple of months. So exciting for the new owners though - I didn't sleep for almost a week before we got Maggie, just so excited!

What you talkin about woman ?? So i missed the word SAD out of my post. Just going to put the puppy packs together and run away with them !!!!
Posing again
(Expect you all know but click to get bigger pic) Dogs decided to take over the tennis ball thrower.
Poor Zeta hope she fully gets better soon, expect she will with Leah there all the time, they both look so kind especially Leah.
Cute puppy pic Judith good luck new puppy owners : ).
Will put a video on later/tomorrow.
One more sleep
What a lovely photo they both look so peaceful. Lucy and I have been to pet shop and bought a stack of toys and treats for them both. Any one would think royalty was coming as we have cleaned and scrubbed for days. I know Lucy and I won't sleep , Pete had been moving horse manure all morning so he says he will be sleeping. Stig will sleep in blissful ignorance however he knows something is afoot and had been rather quiet and cuddly today. See you tomorrow Judith.
Karen, you are not alone! Ceilidh was shocking this afternoon. Since the deer episode last week Ceilidh has been more and more naughty and bad for coming back. Today we came around the corner on a new walk we found and she was in the loch swimming after a swan! It was hissing and ready to attack, both of us trying to call her, me running away because she has always chased after us when we have done that before, but not today. Gregor ran to the edge and had to try to scare the swan away because Ceilidh was just not giving up! What was worse was that when she got out of the water she turned around and went diving in again to start swimming in the direction the swan had gone in. If we go that walk again she will be kept on the lead when we get remotely close to the loch bit. I will be open to all suggestions when I see you next week Ali! Until then we will not be going near nesting waters! She is so good at hunting and it is fun to watch but only when she comes back when called.
one more sleep
Well it's one last night of unbroken sleep for Rosie and family and Stig of course, here is a picture of Ringo and Merlin that i took this afternoon. It's going to be very tomorrow with 2 of them going so Isobel to has got 1 more night .That is if you all can sleep or are you just to excited !!!!
Mother Earth
Quiet day here today, catching up with jobs on the PC, and thought I should post these pics. Leah who is Zeta's Mum often spends her evenings washing all her children and Grand children, but since Zeta has been poorly she doesn't leave her side, she leaves the wound alone but spends ages washing Zeta's face, ears and body, really mothering her and nursing her well, bless her she is such a wonderful Mum to all the dogs, even the ones she didn't give birth to! Couldn't get a picture of her actually washing as soon as she heard the camera beep on she posed for the camera, everytime!
Karen, I spent an hour on the phone talking to one of my puppy owners who is going through the same as you, the bitch has become over confident and has selective hearing, bogging off hunting for herself, very frustrating but very common. I have told her to go back to basics and get her to hunt for her owner not herself, we were on the phone ages so I can't post it all on here, just wanted you to know your not on your own!

Hi
We're just going for a day out (think you said (in email) there was only one class for Munsters and it's now closed) which day are you going? so we won't miss each other.
Got to get organised and start entering for shows, and I am going to search the web for some family ones as well as have not yet found any.
Found one at Badgworth in July which I don't know alot about so will see if I can find out.
Are horses are moulting like crazy at the mo, now that's allot of hair, but then it's not in the house so we only get hairy clothes and the birds are useing it to nest with.

Naughty girl
Maggie was naughty on her walk today. I took her accross a field I have been many times before where one or two houses back onto the field. One house in particular has an open fence that backs onto the field - Maggie has on occasions chased pheasants into their back garden but has always come back when I told her. This morning though the garden had ducks in and Maggie chased them, she completely ignored me calling her and the whistle so I had to run over there whereon she appeared back through the fence. I hope she didn't do any damage to the ducks as I didn't see them but my worry is now she knows they are there she will keep going back. So I am going to have to go back to basic whistle training and stopping when I ask her to for a while I think and avoid that field for a while! Maggie has always had a very stong hunting instinct that I battled to control since she was 7 or 8 months old, but up to now its only been deer and pheasants. I love to watch her hunting and flushing out pheasants but I need her to come when I ask for her own safety - so back to the drawing board lol!
Please don't worry about cleaning up because I'm coming to visit. I'm used to 4 muddy paws, I can imagine your house can never be clean with 40 muddy paws tramping in and out. So please don't waste your day cleaning, I'll be bringing some of Domino's hairs on my clothes anyway, she never stops moulting.
Our school take their SATs tests week commencing 12th May, don't know if James's will be the same.
Also I am very pleased with Domino this morning, she didn't bark at the dogs we meet on the way back from our walk. Well, she tried to and I just turned around and went to walk the other way, then we tried again and she still looked like she was going to bark, so I walked away again, third time she walked by them and she let me stop and have a chat with the owner without making a sound.
Then when I got to the bus stop this morning with the children, Bridport News were there taking photographs and talking to us about the grumpy pub landlord here who has decided he won't let us use his car park to wait for the bus anymore (long story). I ended up having my photo and name taken along with another mum - yikes. I wish I'd had my hair done.

Sophie, I know you weren't hinting, we would love to meet up with you anytime, Devon County is definate then, have you entered Ilka or just going to a day out, I have entered Logi and only Logi so I can go shopping and spoil him after the girls seasons are over, a day out with my boy, what could be better!
Hi
Ali, no v sorry I wasn't trying to hint or any thing, yes going to Devon County will say hello then, and going to Paignton so will see you again and who ever your taking and Eslpeth and Ceilidh. And yes sorry forgot about training with James would love to when ever that would suit you and James best. Will try and make a towel coat for Ilka today.
Catch up
mmmmmmm. well Judith, Names should always start with capital's, (see your lower post) but I was too polite to say anything..........
Moving on we are now at the stage of separating Logi and Diva, so harmony has gone, I hate these times, Karen it may be a little unsettled when you visit tomorrow, but there will still be plenty of dogs to come and sit on you, make sure you wear old or doggy clothes as some of them are moulting as well!!!
Sophie, anytime you fancy a visit or meeting up let me know, James would love to train with you or maybe when I come down to Devon to see my family we could meet up as well. Are you going to the Devon County show?
Espeth, thanks for volunteering, or did I push you? !! Lots of strong arms with Gregor as well, I am looking forward to Birmingham, James may have his exams that we, and if he does he wont be able to come so he will be gutted as he is meant to be showing, Prima, Stella and Elle's Lana. So I hope he can go as he is needed, perhaps I should just call the school and ask, maybe the sensible option!!!
Have a great day, I have a load of computer work to do for someone and then it's housework :-(
well it would be embarrassing to have anyone visit the state we're in at the moment!
It's so hard to get going in the morning, I am sat on the sofa and I have Summer curled up on the back of the sofa behind me, Maddie with her head on my lap, Tarka on the other side, Zeta at my feet, Prima on the end of the sofa and it's such a shame to disturb them! Perhaps I shall stay here for just another 10 mins or so.......

Dear Ali,please can you start to use your spell checker, friends its ie not ei :-) :-) but i will forgive you. You use my contact lenses if you want.
Ceilidh will be so pleased to see them all!!! Gregor and I can help you both with them! The cork screw is right the way up her tail at the moment! My mobile number is 07725882287, just so you have it for next week, so excited now! She is so funny when you try to make her trot and stand on her normal lead but on the thin show one we got she stands and trots perfectly! ( well, after the initial pull and i want off to play that is)
Gregor is having a game of rugby with her just now and she loves it.

I am bringing Logi, Prima and Summer to Birmingham, Elspeth, Diva can't go as she won Best of Breed the last time the judge judged the breed, not to mention the fact she is in season. Judith is bringing along Strider and Stella so 5 between us a spare pair of hands maybe needed!
I do remember Ceilidh trotting up to you and sure she did pick you, she never picked anyone else thats for sure, think we will be staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Stafford with you Elpseth I will let you know once things are sorted. Just over a week to go!
Oh yes tail hair, leave it as it is, if she has a cork screw on the end you can thin it slightly, but I would probably leave it to uncurl as she grows up, don't worry I am sure she will look the part.

So jealous of you Karen! Although I do get to see blitzans at Stafford next week. Who are you bringing Ali, and Judith?
Good luck to all of you who are picking up the puppies this week.
And Congratulations to James and Andrew! What a great day for you both! So many prizes.
Looking at the puppy pictures that you put up of Ceilidh, Ilka and Georgia, they are all so similar. I remember when we visited to see the puppies, we had 2 that were all over us (Dot and Shady, but I had a secret eye on Ceilidh too because she was the one behind the Tv trying to eat the cables (I look for mischief in puppies, my parents old dog scamper was picked because he was the one chewing their shoes and eating their laces) I know it was you who suggested we went for her but when we arrived to pick her up I am sure it was her who picked us really, by the way she ran at us when we came in!
Just looking at her now, how do you get the tail hair tame? Or it it okay to leave it as normal for a show?

Going to see the Blitzans
I'm really excited about visiting Ali and all the dogs. I was trying to think when I had last met another Munster properly and I don't think I ever have, so to meet 10 of them will be heaven.
I'm going to try and find or take a photo of Domino tomorrow lying just like Diva in her puppy photo. Domino often stretches out her hind legs right behind her, it looks very uncomfortable.

Helloo
Love the Maggie pics she looks beautiful, I like pointing pics.
And the Diva pics in the top one I think she's looks so striking and bottom one very cute if a little flattened at the back end he he.
Ilka has been gradually perfecting the art of muddiness shes getting better and better but has got a way to go to get to the standards of Jiggy as well as Fancy and Maddie (from a video a little while back) and sure other munsters as well. Will try and remember to take a camera next time.

Diva changes
Found these pictures of Diva whilst tidying up files on my PC, this is Diva as an adult and Diva as a baby, it should show you how much the spots have developed as she has got older. Her character hasn't changed much though she is still an absolute sweety and a Diva.
A quiet day
Having a quiet day today, two more puppy bookings so think I will have a litter from Prima before Diva, although got to work out timings first.
Had a lovely chat with Karen this morning and looking forward to meeting up with Karen for coffee and cuddles with the dogs on Wednesday. Just had a big thunder storm and lost the Internet so quick post before it happens again.
Lovely pictures of Maggie, she is really maturing and looking lovely.

James. You cleared up. You must be very proud - great photo of you with all those prizes.
Glad to hear Zeta is feeling better.
Good luck to all those taking a puppy home this week - must be really exciting!
Took a couple of pics of Maggie this morning - such a beautiful morning here with sun shine and the forecast was rain!
Enjoying a run in the grass
On point in a wheat field where she often flushes pheasants

Thanks Zoe, glad I wasn't the only one in a muddle. I got in a muddle because I jotted down the names in the order the pictures were taken whilst standing the puppies, the trouble is they were saved in empty spaces on the memory card in a different order, I dunno I drive for 3 hours to visit the puppies and help Judith sort them out, download the pictures, e mail copies to Judith and up load them on here only to get a lot of stick..................... freinds don't you just love 'em!!!!
Not sure....
.......If it is the same one Karen but we had fun! Yes I plan to be around all day, except for the odd dog walk so ring anytime to suit for a natter I will look forward to it.
Sophie who is the trainer?, I used to know all the clubs and trainers in North Devon, bet it has all changed now though, how about a ring craft club that also does obedience, I know a lady, the one I mentioned that lived in umberleigh, she used to hold it in Torrington but think it's moved, I will give her a call and let you know, they're a really freindly, happy bunch of people, and Bryn knows my lot, hangs on to them at shows quite often so could be worth a try with Ilka, I get you the details.

Puppy Pictures
Well i have to admit Rosie that we couldn't recognise our own puppy, we looked at the picture of Hudson and just believed that it was him. (I even downloaded a copy of the photo!) I can see the difference now though!
Well Done James!
Well Done James!
Well done
Well done James and Andrew and Blitzans, I am really looking forward to going to family dog shows in the past we went to a couple with Sid.
I was thinking the same about Georgia, Ceilidh and Ilka ike the pics. Have to admit Ilka was on venison for a while again which must have allot of natural vitamins and other things in it as it's wild,and seems to give her a very shiny coat.
And hopefuly just got to fill in a form going to start some training classes soon (for socialising) the woman is an Agility person(probably not a technical term) so I think we're doing the basic training which she does for people wanting to do Agility who need to train a bit first she was going to do a puppy class but only one other person wanted to, oh and she's a vegetarian (not that there is any thing wrong with that) just I was out for a ride so Dad picked up the phone and sort of put his foot in it talking about her going to be a gun dog ect ect,no problem she just didn't want to talk about it.and I might do some Agility over there when Ilka's old enough as apparently it's all quite a laugh and a bit of fun.
Glad Zeta is getting better
Good luck new puppy owners there so cute, remember it being alot of little trips to the garden.

to James and Andrew for winning all those prizes today. I saw there was a Lurcher/terrier show on when I drove home today, was that the one you went to? Yonks ago we took Domino to a companion dog show at Broadwindsor, that was the first and last show we went to, both I and Domino didn't have a clue what we were supposed to be doing.
I was at a seminar run by Pet Behaviourist, Peter Neville today, it was really good, he was very inspiring and as always I come home wanting to go on all the Pet Behaviour Therapy courses, maybe next year.
Lovely to hear that Zeta is feeling a bit better, James must feel better having done so well today.
Good luck to the new pup owners this week, wish I was one of them.
I will try to ring you tomorrow Ali, will you be around?

The way they were.....
Patch now Ceilidh
Dot now Georgia
Merlin now Ilka
This should give all you new owners an idea of how much your puppy will change, the three girls are all on the blog here at age 6 months now, the pictures were them at six weeks old.

Finally...........
By the way another lot of gorgeous pictures on here this weekend, Love the video of Ceilidh, can't you tell Georgia, Ilka and Ceilidh are sisters, if you remember the only difference between Ceilidh and Georgia, (Patch and Dot) was the position of their spots, they are still very similar and very beautiful all you owners are doing a fantastic job in rearing them they look so fit and well, thank you it's lovely to see.
That's it I think I have remembered it all now, having a senior Blonde day today!!!!!!!!!!

Arlene, I am sorry to hear about poor Geogia's attack and I am really pleased she has come through it ok, please don't worry about telling me things though I will always support you and help if I can, or just be a listening ear if thats what is needed. It can happen to any of us.
Elspeth a few years ago there was a gorgeous looking Munster boy who swam into a river and got caught in a weir, depsite the owner jumping into save him and nearly drowning herself, the poor lad drowned it was a big upset to all of us who knew him and his owner, it can happend even to the best swimmers, awful isn't it.
Good luck to all the owners and puppies who are leaving this week, safe journeys to you all, and I hope you get good nights sleep!
Zeta is on the mend still stiff and sore but brighter, my sympathy to you Elspeth, I get muscle spasms and it's agony, Logi knows it too, take care and keep your neck warm, you need to be better for Brimingham show!

A much nicer day
To Cheer James up we took, Prima, Tarka and Summer to a Companion and Family dog show, I was kennel maid and Andrew, (yes Andrew!) and James did the showing. James won best pedigree with Prima, he then took Summer in and won Best Mover, Andrew was 4th in most appealing eyes with Tarka and 2nd in best local dog, James beat 30 kids for best Junior handler then he went in for Best in Show and won it with PRIMA. It really lifted his spirits, it was a fun relaxed afternoon, I didn't do a thing! and Andrew joined in. Zeta stayed home on the sofa with Mum, Leah, I think she watched the Grand Prix! so she had a relaxing time too.
Really proud of James and the dogs as there was a lot of Terriers there, a lot of which kept diving out to have a go at the girls and not one of them, curled a lip. James just did his thing bless him.
This is what he won with the three dogs, 3 x 1st, 2 x 2nd, 1 x 4th Best in show, a shield which goes back, but a trophy to keep load of dog food and treats and a box of Crackerjacks. It cost £8 for entries, and to think a champ show is £20 a class and if you do win the most you get is a piece of card board, I mean certificate not even a rosette. Maybe we should stick to fun local dog shows!!!!!!!!!!
matched to names
We did think that Dylan was Ringo, We matched his markings and he was the one Lauren was holding and the one in the sink. I didn't like to say in case I got it wrong and you thought we couldn't pick out our own puppy :) . See you weds.
the correct puppy
Well done sophie you are correct, now
Troy is actually Hudson/Totti Zoe ?
Marley is actually Brodie/3 spot well spotted jim
Dylan is actually Ringo/little man rosie ?
Merlin is actually Marley/ziggy ok both start with m
Ringo is actually Merlin/bling
Brodie is actually Dylan/Ace
Hudson is actually Troy who has always been Troy
Mungo who was Smudge is correct.

These pictures andv ideo are from our forest walk today. I hope I have put the right video up so you can see 16 year old Kylie swimming and Ceilidh, Toby is at the edge prancing and jumping too. He doesn't swim as he had a really bad experience when he was a pup. We had taken all of the dogs out for a walk on his first christmas and he decided the river was fun and was playing at the edge and then disappeared under the water. It had been raining for days on end so was really strong. He managed to get out but we were ready to jump in after him if he hadn't. So you can see why he doesn't swim. (we do know that jumping in after a dog is silly as they are more likely to come out alive than you, but when you are in these circumstances it is the first thing that you want to do!)
We hope Zeta is feeling better today. Great pictures of Georgia, I take it the snow one was from a few weeks ago and not this weekend? We have had a mini heat wave here today!
Ali, you had said the other dogs were being gentle and quiet as they knew Zeta was hurt. Ceilidh has been like that all weekend with me, I woke up at 5.30am yesterday and couldn't move my head. After doing ice packs and heat packs for an hour Gregor had to phone NHS 24 and they think it had gone into a spasm or possibly a trapped nerve. Absolute agony and Ceilidh jumped up and started kissing me (where it was sore) bless her. She has been very cuddly and close all weekend so i think she must know.The jumping up onto the bed on top of me obviously didn't help but she only needed to do it once for my cry to stop her doing it again. I think she will make a great big sister to our next one. Protective and nursing in her own way. Bless her cottons.
Hello from Georgia
Hope James and Zeta are ok, it must have been very upsetting for you all. I will now tell you Ali as things are ok and I was too upset to mention it before.
When Georgia was around 4 months old my husband was walking her past a house on her lead to get to the meadow and a Jack Russell ran out of it's drive on to the pavement and bit Georgia hard on the face and nose for no reason. Georgia screamed and the woman who owned the dog just called her dog in and shut the door. We took her to the vets and presented the woman with the bill to frighten her into keeping her dog under control, anyway to cut a long story short we got the dog warden involved who gave her a warning. I was so upset because if left a mark on Georgia's face and her being so young and all that, anyway with time the fur grew and the mark has disappeared thank god.
This shows fantastic breeding as Georgia's temperament never changed, she loves meeting other dogs, is never timid, full of play and when another dog does get grumpy with her she backs off and stands looking at them puzzled wondering what all the fuss is about. My Doberman was the same unfortunately some people use to shout through fear when they saw him coming and didn't realise how soft he was.
I had one ignorant American man while we were living in the states who wouldn't go anywhere near my Doberman and kept telling me that you would never see a vicious Labrador and praising the breed even though he'd never owned a dog. Well I say any breed can be nasty if the breeding is wrong and the owners don't know how to treat the dog correctly, but isn't it great when you meet other breeds of dogs that are just as loving and friendly as your own.

WELKS
Another show I didn't get to, WELKS, was judged today, DCC and Best of Breed and the Bitch CC were both sired by Blitzans, Zeb and Logi to be exact, so another good day for my kennel, well done to Jasper and Meadow, we're really proud.
I will make it to Birmingham no matter what, I hope it's not famous last words!

Zeta & James
I am so sorry for what happened to you both, James are you okay? And get well soon to Zeta. That must have been so scary! You poor things. Great to hear that Leah is a good nurse though. Have the other dogs seen the lab since? They should be made to get help if they cannot control it or give it to someone that will! Was James hurt?
A staffy went for Ceilidh a few weeks ago but thankfully the owner had put it on a lead as they obviously knew their dog was aggressive. She went barmy growling and barking etc, ready to fight back, she did the same with one of the bernese next to my mum and dad when it had a snap at her and paddy over the fence. Never went for either of the dogs mentioned just showed that she was ready to protect herself. I don't think she would really know what to do if it ever came to it though. Probably wait for one of us to step in.
It is just so completely irresponsible of them to let it out! A man walks around our area with 2 rotties but he always puts them on a lead when he sees people or dogs. Not because they have a temper (they are such softies its unbelieveable) but he does it because he knows how people react to the breed and he chooses to be responsible about it.
Ali, I wont ask what was siad but I assume that something has been sorted out with them now.
Oh, did you get accommodation for Stafford?
Lo0ve the pictures everyone has posted. Fantastic "brownie" photos. He looks so happy with his toy, even if he doesn't quite know what do do with it. We will have some photos tomorrow, Ceilidh has a date with Toby for a big forest walk so I will get plenty pictures then.

Hi
Karen love the pics and video and love the Zydo pics especially the toy one.Dogs had a play with Purdey the flat coat this morning she is so submissive even to Ilka she rolled on her back, her owner said Purdey was frightened the other day by about four dogs who all went for her and the owners did nothing.
Photo is Ilka on exmoor earlier today.
Hope Zeta gets better soon.
Thinking of Zeta and James
I was really sad to read about Zeta and James nasty experience. I hope everyone is a bit better today and tell James to keep his chin up. Have you ever tried colliodal Silver spray ?. It is a natural healing spray for use on cuts and wounds and has anti bacterial properties and the silver speeds healing. Last year while only 8 months Stig Ulcerated his cornea and it was touch and go if he lost his sight in that eye, we used the CS drops and I don't know if they helped but he healed twice as quick as the vet expected and his sight is fine. We use the spray on everyone's cuts and scrapes human and animal.
When Pete comes home later I'll get him to put the link up to where we get if from and it tells you all about it.

Zydo
Meant to say Trish the photo's of Zydo are gorgeous, he is such a handsome boy, love the one with the toy in his mouth. What a handsome fella.
Swim time
As it was such a nice day we decided to take Maggie down to the local reservoir for a swim this morning and she just loved it. As soon as she was off the lead she just plunged in. We took a ball and she retrieved it really well. Took a video too which I will upload later. 
Zeta Up date
Well she is still on three legs but at least she is putting it to the floor a little today, she is very sore and stiff and of course the wounds look very angry today, bless her. I am so angry that I best not say too much on here lets just say it wont be happening again. Not a good idea to let your dog attack the bosses dog and child.
All the dogs here are very quiet they know Zeta is poorly and Leah is being an absoulte darling washing and mothering Zeta all the time, she hasn't left her side. Thanks for all the good wishes for Ze and James.

Catch Up
Firstly, apologies if the pictures and text are all over the place - I'm new to uploading photos and they seem to have a life of their own!
So sorry Ali to hear about James' and Zeta's experience - very frightening for them both and reflects on the lab's owners. A similar thing happened with our last dog, Hintza (that's him - an off-the-wall flattie!). A young, out of control Airdale being walked by the owner's elderly father waged a completely unprovoked attack. Hintza was bitten and the old man fell and cut himself on stones - I must admit I was more concerned about my dog! I visited the owners and threatened, and meant, that if I ever saw their dog off the lead again in a public place I would report them to the police. They were very pleased when 3 yrs later we moved from the village!!!!!!
On a lighter note here are a couple of pictures of Zydo. Not sure he got the hang of the new toy!!!!!!!!! And the other one was taken when I was visiting my mum in Cardiff in woods nearby. I felt he needed a walk after being in the car for so long. Loved seeing the pictures of Gyp - he is Zydo's brother and a fellow "brownie". I can't believe how different in colouring they are but equally beautiful. Gorgeous day here in Surrey so now off for a long walk across Hankley Common.

Noisy dogs
we too have dogs in the village that are allowed to stand at the front gate all day and bark at people going past. I think it makes them more aggressive if allowed to do it. If Maggie barks at anybody from our garden, I tell her that's enough, good girl. If she then continues she is brought inside. That way she knows she is allowed to draw my attention to someone coming but she is not allowed to continue barking.
hi
yes agree about owners there's a dog in the village that gets very little exercise and i don't think has been socialised and it has bitten a couple of people was just annoyed that it had attacked, hope Zeta and James are ok.
Poor Zeta and James
How terrifying, I only said yesterday about the dog next to us that attacked a jack russell from the house oppposite. Hope Zeta and James are OK. This is why I'm making more effort to get Domino used to meeting other dogs that live near us. It is the owners fault, that dog cannot be socialised properly. I would report them to the dog warden. 01935 462462 is the number for the dog warden enforcement team, they are based in Yeovil.
Poor Zeta
Poor Zeta think I met her she was so cuddly and freindly that lab should be shot or worse.
And Judith Smudge?
Karen love the pic and video very funny (it did work).

Maybe wrong
BUT you told me what order they were in and I read it off what you told me, I can't do it all, Stand them, photograph them, and right it all down!!!!!!!! Tell me order it should be and I will edit it all when I get back.
Disaster
The dog got out and attacked Zeta, she has rips and holes in her and is now on three legs, bless her she hasn't got a nasty bone in her body and he just dived on her and attacked, James was walking her down the lane and is very upset, God I could kill it, I know my lot would given the chance. Off to the vets with Zeta now. James is in floods god it stinks.
pups, neighbours and new camera
Great photo Sophie, looks a bit like my son first thing in the morning )lol
The pups are beautiful - all lovely markings and all similar in size - who could pick one! Do you see their different characters at that age?
Neighbours - I have had a few bad experiences in the past, but now my mother is my next door neighbour on one side and the others are a lovely older couple who think my dogs are lovely - think they may be partially deaf - so pretty lucky really. Next time you walk past the dog that is always barking Ali, take a water pistol with you - find it works well on unruly children so may work with dogs too (lol!
Got my new camera today and been trying to learn how to use it for the last two days - complicated or what! Haven't managed to take any stunning photos yet but took this of Maggie this afternoon and thought the clarity was quite good.
Also took this video of Maggie's well practiced technique of run and slide!
Hope it works - did what you said Sophie and used the direct link.
Hi
HOODY PUP WANTED IN CONNECTION WITH A SERIES OF SOCK THEFTSElspeth I think it's amazing how dogs can tell, there are people and dogs our dogs don't like.
Good Luck
To all of the puppies who are going to their new homes next week. They are all such beautiful big boys! Nice and chunky, great for cuddles!
As for the neighbours thing, I knew everyone would have a story. Ali, your sound dreadful. There must be some sort of law against the barking breach of peace or something. The neighbour I had said we had problems with is the one that Ceilidh hates. She goes wild whenever she hears, sees or smells him.

Puppies
The puppies are all beautiful, I'm sure all the new owners are getting really anxious for the little wiggly ones, I know I would be. Good luck to all the puppies and I hope we see pictures as they grow. Ali, sorry to hear of your neighbours, do you have no bylaw there against barking? Here if dogs bark, people can make a complaint and they get a fine after a warning. That would make me insane, especially at night. I had one neighbour years ago that was a pain in the keester, for 6 years he was great, then we had septic problems, which were fixed ASAP, but he was never the same after and would complain about everthing, saying my then wolfhound was in his garbage, which he may have been, but I offered to go over and clean it up, but said he already did, it got to the point I didn't enjoy my acreage any more so we moved. Ended up being a great choice because the next place was absolutely beautiful and had 12 acres of trees and lots and lots of privacy. As for the creepy neighbour, stare right back at him and use binoculars let him know you are watching him, let him be uncomfortable for a change!

Five more sleeps
We are counting the sleeps until Wednesday, five more to go. The pictures are great I would love all of them. They are all lovely and chunky I can't wait for puppy cuddles. We will take lots of pics
as he grows.
Stig barks in the garden for no obvious reason , we think maybe because he is lonely all though we play its not the same as having a four legged friend to play with, we are hoping the barking stops when Ringo comes. Sometimes he looks so sad sitting on his own up the dog run like Billy no-mates.

Neighbours
Think mainly it's were not used to having them, had to sell our cottage (which they now live in and have make look really naf) and now we live in part of Dads huge workshop which is fine and before end of year going to move to end of it which is brilliant, living room up stairs to get the view ect.
They have done a few things without permission and the husband is a bit odd (made one or two odd comments to little sis (who has long blond hair) and spied on our garden when Mum was in it in the summer, you get the idea, he also looks a bit creepy but not at all threatening, hes not got the bottle to face Dad), and put nails and ash in a farmers gateway cos there was mud in the road, and has done couple of other things, his nick name in the village is Gollum (off Lord fo the Rings as hes a lookalike) very few are friends with them, sorry to hear about every ones neighbours, we've not got big problems really.

No Karen it's not at my lot, he just barks all day, when mine are indoors you can hear him woofing, spoke to owner and asked him to keep him quiet only to be told that they like him to bark so it puts off people snooping!!!! I don't know if mine were constantly barking I know it would drive me round the bend. They will have to do something or it will end in tears, I can see that.
Gyp
This is Gyp who is Summer's son, and was known as Billy Brown, brother to Zydo, Mathilde and Stella. What a handsome boy.
