Happy Christmas

I've taken some photos out on our Christmas walk today.

Sunny but wet....

Since we finally had some sunshine today I went out for the dog walk, camera in hand to take some photos. Unfortunately due to the heavy rainfall last night the alpacas were wet and not looking their best so I have stuck to dog photos today!

Watching the ball......(not sure Herby is though)
Nope he certainly wasn't.... its gone down a hole
Think that will be the end of that game....

Welcome Home

I have been this week to pick up Halo and Monique from their honeymoon, with their respective cria Dyer and Dahlia. Dyer is one of my favourite cria this year and it is good to have him home.

Wet Photos!

Milo was off home today so we had to find a break in the rain to take some photos before he was off....

Christopher was off school "ill" today. Herby decided it was down to him to look after him!

Milo is also back to stay for a week. Pics below.

Herby's first show

Yesterday we took Herby to his first show. Unfortunately the classifications meant that he was entered in AVNSC Graduate class. At just 6 months, in a class for different breeds of dogs of all ages it was going to be tough..... As the youngest in the class we were pleased to be placed 4th out of 10, beating a number of adult dogs.

Many thanks to Sam of Farlap Photography who was on hand as she often is to take photos of us!

April also did very well to be awarded first in her class - Postgraduate Pointer. Unfortunately Sam wasn't on hand for photos of her!!!

Great day for Amiryck

Today we went to Bridgwater Open Show to enter the HWVA supported classes there.

We took Daisy to compete in her first ever show at just over 18 months! She delighted us by winning Post Graduate Bitch. What is more it was Richard's first ever time showing! To top it off Tennant, her brother, was awarded Best Dog and Reserve Best of Breed. Way to go.....

They're back

I've been to Inca HQ this week to collect some of our yearling girls who have been there on honeymoon. I have been really keen to get them back since one of them is very special to me... Cinnamon. They are looking good, as you can see below.

The lovely Moselle

Cinnamon's sister Danica is also looking very nice. Photos of her are below.

Last but not least our newest cria Daucus is also doing very well indeed and as you can see below is very photogenic!

It was Herby's sister Ginny's time to visit this weekend. She is very similar to Milo as you can see from the photos below!
