HUGE HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO LOGI AND ZETA AND THE RIVER LITTER!!! Big hugs and kisses from neice Ceilidh!


Lyns, I have been using a figure of 8lead, I suppose it is a bit like a haulty, Ceilidh will attempt to pull on her way on a walk through sheer excitement but will now take a telling off and leave the lead loose. It is always loose on the way back from a walk or in towns etc. The difference it has made in unbelieveable. I didnt take a lead the other day on the walk but had to pop her on paddys after she did a bad recall (hunting and flushed a pheasant then came back, instead of straight back) Paddy has a normal lead and Ceilidhs collar is not a half choke or a choke but a leather one now and she walked right by my heal, not one single pull so she did get off for another run about for being so good and recalled perfectly after that. Munsters are certainly not manic, honestly, I had been intouch with a trainer around here who I found out only does spanniels and labs, no other dogs especially munsters... what is that about? I have met many labs far more batty! Like you say Ali, for showing it is not just what goes on in the ring it is the dogs manners too. And I am sure any of you who have seen Ceilidh at a show knows that she just lies down and has a nap (after flirting with the boys and saying hello to everyone of course) They are so clever and you could do more than one discipline with them I am sure.



James, it sounds like Tetra is a real character and that Prima is teaching her all the true munster tricks, digging rolling etc. It is great to see all the babies doing so well. I love the pictures of Ludo, fantastic view and such a happy looking boy. Great pics of Logi and Zeta too. Sorry if i have missed anything out.
