Lindsey  that is awful  he was looking so well the other day at Mugdock I hope he is on the mend. Poor wee man  I am sure he will make a full recovery......hope to see you at Crufts if you decide to come..

Mo

Yesterday's Munster Meet was another brilliant day out. Lovely to see all the dogs getting together and having fun. Little Louis is an absolute sweetie - I look forward to seeing him again at the next meet.

Elvis had a fantastic time - he must have worn himself out as slept all the way home and then for another 2 hours til it was time to go back to Billy's.

Thanks Mo for the coffees and bacon rolls after - it's always my favourite part of the walk!!!LOL

Paws is looking well - all this exercise with her new pal Caramel will be getting her in tip top condition for Crufts.

Pam

Ps, Linda, any new additions over the weekend????

Just back from a great walk in Milngavie ...then breakfast what a way to spend a day/
lovely frosted conditions ..Abbes loch was "growning" under the weight of frozen water?!

I go on Printmatters & Pitalpin regularly and if I see any shows in Scotland that have classes for LMs I always put the details on this blog for everyone to know. I was on both last night and could see no current dog show schedules out that had classes for us. Curiously I have been back on now and I see that schedule - it's a shame I hadn't seen it there earlier - this show is literally 5 minutes from me & Mo.

Not to worry - hopefully the GBAS show schedule will come out soon. There used to also be a wee gundog show down in Selkirk around April time but I see this show is a general open show now with no LM classes anymore.

As a group we (Me, Mo, Nicky, John etc) have always done our best to get round as many of the Scottish Open Shows as possible to keep the classes but sadly if the schedules are not readily available then how on earth can we continue. Maybe we need to get our Crystal Balls Out!!!!!LOL

 

Glad Seska is keeping well and I hope when the puppies do arrive that they are all fighting fit and well. Be nice to see some piccies too

 

Pam

Hi,

Congratulations to Jager and Bella - do we have any piccies yet?? I can't wait to see the little bundles

I was very sad to hear about poor Struan and his Pal being left without a mum - the poor souls. If I could have I would have taken 1 in a shot. I am sure they will find that perfect home(s) soon though.

Linda, how is Seska getting on? Has she had her puppies yet? I hope all is well with you.

Well - only 3 weeks til CRUFTS!!!!! I am soooo looking forward to going this year. I think it will be a lovely couple of days.

I have been on the 2 websites that I usually find schedules for Local Open Shows but there doesn't seem to be any shows coming up with classes for LMs. There is usually West of Scotland Gundog at the end of Feb / beginning of March and then GBAS usually has a show in March / April time but NOTHING!!!!! Does anyone know where else these schedules might be? It would be a shame if LMs lose classes becuase of poor advertising

 

Pam

Walking without the snow,,Poppy on the hunt for duck which got away.. Thank goodness

....On Seska being in Whelp. You must be delighted Linda. Who is Daddy??

Love the pics of Skye - she really does take after her Dad in her jumping skills.

I am going down to Kelso this weekend so I hope the snow stays away at least until we get there. Don't mind so much if we get snowed in once we arrive - it's a gorgeous big victorian house we will be staying in with Aga (sp?) in the kitchen & log fire in the living room. So don't mind at all if we can't get back out once we're in!!!LOL

Need to get a meet organised soon - anyone free in February maybe 20th or 21st???

Pam & Elvis

This is Poppy flying through the snow...I agree they come back clean ..except today when
I found the farmer has been spreading the slurry (see below at least the birds are happy with this activity)   Poppy never seen this before so she had to go over and "taste and try"...so clean and smelly.
The one problem I have with this snow it is so crisp that is burning the dogs feet..Suki is hobbling about..Elvis had to be rested  and Poppy was not happy at the end of todays walk  and she has burst the end of her tail? there is always a down side.....anyone else having problems with dogs feet on the snow?


Does Zara  do Dancing professionally or does she have a day job

PS  Poppy loves Royal Canin Giant Adult  it is very large Kibbles which all the dogs love.
Give Lucy a try with them.

We dont have as much snow as Colin and Carol  took Poppy along to field at back of house...

Hi,

Happy New Year Everyone!!!! I hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year. Mine was really good. Got totally spoiled at Christmas and got to spend some good time with all my favourite people which was excellant. New year was lovely too - Mo and I got out a couple of really nice walks but unfortunately Elvis's feet were bad so he had to have a couple of days off after the 1st to recover (any excuse for me to have a day under my new throw ;-) lol)

Love the Pics from Peebles - hwo long did the snowman take to build? Did Santa bring the new agility equipment? Need to have a catch up soon - haven't seen you guys for ages.

Only 2 months til Crufts - I am really looking forward to it this year - not been for a couple of years. Although if I'm honest I think I might be more looking forward to the accomodation!!!!lol

What has everyone else been up to over the Festive Period?

Need to get a wee meet organised soon - might be best to wait until the weather breaks though so maybe early Feb???

Pam

Orkan still on holiday....

Happy New Year to you too Liz......Glad to hear Lucy is doing well ...did she preform well for
Brian on her last shot?  they are lovely when they settle down but it takes a lot of work..
keep intouch
Mo

HI,

Was delighted that Elvis got BOB of Saturday - it was a lovely way to end the Year.

The Baxters Shop/ Cafe is really excellant. I had the Broth and it was delicious - although seeing Baxters are famous for their soup I suppose that would be a given!!!!LOL Would totally recommend it if your looking for a stop on your way north - lovely little stopping place.

Well Christmads is nearly here - I hope everyone has a great time and that all the dogs get well spoiled too.

Hopefully get a wee Munster Meet organised for the New Year - would be great to catch up with everyone again.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 

Pam

Went to HPR yesterday where Elvis (Qualitil Unforgetable) got BOB   & Qualitil Rosies Boy RBOB
The kitchen at the show ran out of food so we went over the road to the "Baxter shop"
where they have lots of nick nacks for sale and a fab coffee shop. so if you are travellinh north towards Perth and need a stop the place to go is "Baxters centre" at Blackford   it is just off the dual carriage  you can see it from the dual carrageway.....and along the road into Blackford on the left is the village hall  behind which is a large field where your dog can have a wee run ...their is also a wee burn  for a drink for the dog(not yesterday it was -6 degrees)

PS.
Below the crique for Gundog Breeds of Scotland   just for Lindsay and Ghillie Thanks to Dog World

V (1) 1 Gumley's Ghyllbeck Acidaspis, pleasing type, good outline for a 7 year old, excellent firm topline, quality elongated head, nicely moulded with soft expression & good muzzle, strong bone & firm feet. A little down on front pasterns. Deep bodied, correct tuck up, well bent stifles & muscular hindquarters with second thigh, springy flowing mover. Toeing in slightly in front & not totally positive behind. RBD earned on his overall quality & type.

P (3) 1 Nield's Ellsott Party Politics, 7 months dog, well proportioned head, excellent bone & feet, well angulated throughout, well sprung ribcage, well covered loin, good depth for a youngster, well bent stifle. Needs training & handling to settle on the move. BP; 2 Goddard's Raycris Kinda Kute, most attractive type, lovely promising head, good bone, feet & topline, nicely coupled & taut abdomen, good overall outline. Moving a little wide in front & needs more handling to bring out the full potential; 3 Taylor's Ellscott Red Rum mit Waldenhof.

J (3,1) 1 Gray & Evand's Qualitil Rosies Lassie, a bitch with some finer breed points, moving reasonably well with flowing gait. Rather overdone in head. Well laid shoulders, good reach of neck & clean overall lines, moderate tuck up with taut abdomen, well muscled hindquarters; 2 Mell's Raycris Perfection at Meadlands, lacking in coat, would prefer more strength in muzzle. Good strong bone & firm feet, good topline, strong loin & broad over the croup. Disappointed with rear movement.

PG (8,3) 1 Macgregor's Daleander Hot Love, good type, excellent strong bone, strong pasterns & correct feet, skull & muzzle set in proportion, correct stop & eye colour, well ribbed, taut skin & abdomen, firm loin, good depth of body, in good coat, condition & feather. Movement behind could be better; 2 Murdoch's Kalabagh Vermillion, many typical qualities but would like to see rather more strength in head. Pleasing outline & depth of body, well angulated overall, correct topline. Could carry more condition to advantage. Moved acceptably with good tail carriage; 3 Logie's Franorst Paws for Eirinn.

L (7,3) 1 Thomson's Raycris Pipistrel, excellent type, lovely shaped skull & muzzle, correct stop, lovely eye shape & expression, strong neck with good reach, well angulated throughout & nicely proportioned, excellent strong straight bone & pasterns, firm well padded feet, well sprung rib, good body condition, taut & well coupled, deep bodied, moved very soundly. Unfortunately suffered from a dead tail which prevented further awards; 2 K Vermillion; 3 Pilkington's Tarkanya Lytas Lace. RBB.

OD (2) 1 Kennedy's Qualitil Unforgetable, mature 6 years dog, nicely moulded head, correct stop, kind eye & rounded skull, good dark eye, excellent strong bone down to well padded feet, well angulated throughout, prominent breastbone, good topline, well ribbed, coupled & strong over the loin, wide at the croup, excellent stifles, well muscled hindquarters & strong hocks, moved very soundly reaching out & extending. Unfortunately tends to raise his tail a bit much to spoil the picture. However he has many excellent breed qualities & was in good condition & well presented so had to be my BOB.

OB (2) 1 Gray, Evans & Logie's Qualitil Unstoppable, litter sister to the BOB winner with many breed qualities. Not a big bitch, rather neat in outline, balanced head, not overdone, adequate bone & feet, well ribbed, firm loin, good bend of stifle & muscled hindquarters, in good coat, feather & condition. BB; 2 Kirkwood & Thomson's Ir Ch Helydon Knockandhu at Sarscottah, pleasing type & outline, well balanced head, nicely angulated throughout, good topline. Lacking in body condition & muscletone in the hindquarters. Moved acceptably.

Nice to see you on here again..Must be pleased with a laptop??!!
