Firstly Thanks Karen for coming over, I had a lovely morning and it was great to pick your brains re: wen sites and my new web site building program, thanks, Karen A. Karen C nearly stole Summer!!!!! think Summer may of gone too!
As for walking the gang, well it varies sometimes we walk all of them together and other times like today, (Andrew has man flu!!!!!!) they went out in two groups and then if someone needs a little less exercise I will split them into oldies and youngies. So like I said sometimes all sometimes two groups!
Sophie - you did mention breeding from Ilka, first thing to do is to get her hips X rayed and scored and this can't be done until 12 months old or slightly older to be three months after her last season. Then eye's tested. After that it's just wait until she grows up, around 3 years old is the best age for a first litter, sometimes I have done it earlier if the vet advises it for hormone problems, but usually around 3. You now have plenty of time to look around for a suitable stud dog to go to Ilka. You never know maybe Prima's son that Elpseth is having will suit Ilka!!!! But you will have time to watch and see who is around and will suit her.
It's actually stopped raining here a day with no rain so far....... Now getting on with web sites jobs I need to do before I get back on with the newsletter, busy, busy, busy.
