Amber
is a totally different character to Rosie; she is very quiet and confident
and takes no nonsense from the rest of the dogs. Although she has held
her own in the show ring she prefers to do agility with our son Chris,
and she has now started her training again after having her litter and
she loves every minute of it. She is entered for her first competition
early next year.
When
the girls were a year old we brought home our first male a golden sable
(D’Arcy) from John and Caroline Tipper I had fallen for him from
the first minute I had seen him, so once again we did a long haul to
visit him we did the trip 3 times, bringing him home the third time.
He was and still is sweet natured boy and a delight to own. We have
had a lot of success with him in the ring with many best puppy, best
of breed and group placings; he gained his junior warrant at the age
of 15 months and was the Green Star dog at Limerick Champ Show 2005
and Res Green Star at Killarney 2005. He has been resting for a few
months to grow his new coat but will be back the ring soon.
On
Christmas day 2004 we mated D’Arcy to Amber and she produced a
litter of 10 puppies (6 Bitches & 4 Dogs) on the 25th February 2005,
the first litter for both of us, you might say it was a baptism of fire,
but we enjoyed every minute of it, even all the sleepless nights were
worth it, and all the puppies went to their new families happy and healthy.
We kept 2 girls Abbie and Bella. Pictured below.
