Introduction

I'm Karen and I live in South Perrott, Dorset (just down the road from Ali) with my husband Richard, Charlotte (6), Marcus (4), Domino, our Munsterlander (7) and Pebbles the cat (12). My husband is an accountant for Clipper Teas and I run my own web design company. So I can happily work at home, or pretend to when I'm really out walking the dog.

Domino is our first Munsterlander and came from Trevor and Sue Chambers in Nottingham. Domino's kennel name is Wintersmorn Breeze, mum is Ichbin Heartsong and dad was Raycris Sun Dazzler. She is very much part of the family, thinks she owns the place most of the time although seems to get up later than everyone else in the mornings and is already gone to bed at 8pm. I had every intention of training her for agility, but having the children took over life here for a couple of years, then she damaged her cruciate ligament and had a procedure done at St David's Veterinary Hospital in Exeter to realign her leg so that she doesn't use the damaged ligament. The operation was very successful but she now gets a bit of arthritis and so spends most of her time in the garden or running over the fields behind our house. She also loves going to the beach, going for a quick swim and then digs covering herself and everything else in wet sand too. I've found some typical photos of her. She is a gorgeous dog and now we would like another.
" Shall I have a swim or not today?"

"I haven't quite got control of this tongue!"

" I suppose he'll want to cut the grass here in a minute and I'll have to move!"
