We had a good day at Montlucon

I took 4 of my Goldens to the CACIB show at Montlucon – boy that was hard work – but lots of fun!

Dickens showed off as usual – well he always does! He recieved a 3rd Excellent. I guess I would have liked a 1st -but as David tells me – we can’t always get a 1st!!

But then The Laird went in – and he did get a 1st Excellent – so I had the chance to tell David I still got a 1st!

My Sable was next in – didn’t disapoint – another 1st Excellent – she is a bit of a show-off and hasn’t been in the ring for a while as she had puppies not too long ago. But she really did enjoy her day out.

Our new puppy Thyme had a day out as well. It’s always a pleasure to show little ones as thay don’t really know what to expect, but she didn’t disapoint – receiving a ‘Prometteur’ I was very proud of her as it was a very busy show with lots going on.

Sable has her puppies

Sable decided she wasn’t going to wait any longer – time for the puppies to arrive! She gave birth to the first – a lovely little boy at about 7:30 pm and by 1am Friday 10 other puppies arrived, sadly the last – a little girl – was too weak to make it – but we do have 6 lovely boys and 4 wonderful girls!

If you visit the Puppy Page you can see a short video of them a 3 days old.

Sable’s time is near….

Sable’s getting very big now in her pregancy and looking most uncomfortable in this heat, poor love. Not sure how many babies she will have, but it looks like she is carrying quite a few. Today we are putting up the whelping box for her, it’s still a week and a bit to go, but I want her to be as comfortable as possible in this heat.
