I am afraid I haven't been too good at updating the blog this year. However, this time of year provides a golden opportunity and we would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Successful 2014</div>

It will be 2 weeks tomorrow since the pups were born and boy are they piling on the pounds! They have just started opening their eyes over the past couple of days. They are all doing really well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They also now have names. Continuing on from the apple theme...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Girls: Katy and Cameo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boys: Tom Putt and Jonagold</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The names Tom and Katy have special meaning since the pups were born on the day of my good friends son Tom's wedding and his wife is called Katy.</div>

<br />
The kittens are growing up beautifully and have the most amazing characters. Some have gone to their new homes, some we are looking after for a bit longer for their new owners and a few are yet to find their special forever homes. We just love having them.<br />

We are delighted to announce the arrival of a beautiful litter of puppies. 4 scrumptious tubby little things. They more than doubled their weight in the first 5 days so are thriving. Pomme is being a fabulous mum as always.</div>

I have been pondering names and this lot should have new names very soon!Amiryckhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16084305650254783640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256217375946946070.post-14673539588958106022013-06-24T19:50:00.003+01:002013-06-24T19:50:50.978+01:00Shear delight<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The alpacas were shorn at the weekend. It is always a great relief to have that task done. As usual there were a few surprises. Our Qjori cria are now easier to distinguish... well at least one was who now looks very dark brown/black, the other two are still two peas in a pod. Our big dark brown girl (sired by Jack) at the back also cut over 5kg of fleece (3.2kg of saddle).</div>

Ginger was not so much of a surprise since we already knew he was gorgeous but an even better colour than I expected and just as handsome without his fleece. Golden Garland also looks considerably darker without her fleece, she was a very pleasant surprise.<br />

I was really pleased with how the girls coped with it. I don't think it is a dog friendly show, particularly since they had to negotiate through the crowded halls in order for me to show them at either end of the venue. Luckily they managed to without being trodden on too badly or being worried by being enveloped by people. They both did me proud. Nettie came 2nd in her Special Puppy Class and Pearl came 2nd in her Special Junior Class, with a substantial entry of 14 quality dogs.

On a much more somber note we are devastated to report the loss of Zar. We are still working to find out why but it has been tough to come to terms with the loss of such a beautiful boy at such a tender age. We hope that he will enjoy being free, chasing flies in the sky.<br />

We have been quiet for a bit on here for a couple of reasons. Firstly we had a lot going on... and secondly the dire weather we have had for a number of months had made our ground so muddy that it didn't make for good pictures. Back to the first reason... for some months now we have been "in the process of moving". As is often the case things didn't go smoothly, we secured a sale and eventually found somewhere to buy, then our sale fell through when the vendors decided they didn't want to relocate from the home counties after all, resulting in us also losing the house we had wanted to buy! We then found someone else to buy the house and a number of houses later found somewhere else to buy. The process was fraught with a change of solicitor midway and we finally had exchange and completion on the same week, with a rather long, tense, wait for the keys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So we have now moved and now we are back online (thanks BT for weeks delay, despite us paying business rates since Richard's job depends on it). The great news is we LOVE it here! All the stress and hard work has been worth it. The two main triggers for our move were to move closer to the children's school and to own the land our alpacas are on. The children were having long days at school living 45 minutes away (an hour door to door when they went on the bus) and we seemed to spend our weekends ferrying back and forth. Now we are just over 15 minutes away and what a difference that makes! We were also very lucky to rent the land behind our house where we were. This was a wonderful agreement and we were very grateful to be able to do it but we found there was so much we wanted to do with the ground and never knowing the longevity of such agreements it was difficult to invest any more into the land. We now have acreage of our own and what is more is it isn't covered in mud and the alpacas have plenty of grass to eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have plenty to do and as always will be kept busy but we are so thrilled and relieved to finally be here.</div>

Unfortunately we had a little still born black boy, but far more luckily the other 4 have all been girls! <div>

The next two births happened on the same day and rather surprised us, one just after lunch and one at 6pm. Both were sired by Qjori and both were brown girls.<br />
<br />
First was out of Halo.<br />

It would appear I have slipped a bit updating my blog. Not because there is nothing going on but more because there is so much...most of it run of the mill, however, the last couple of weeks have brought some more noteworthy news.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A week and a half ago we saw our first cria born on our farm. We were delighted that Moselle produced us a lovely brown girl, sired by Van Diemen Qjori of Patou. Unfortunately Moselle prolapsed delivering her, she was a very big girl! However, the vets were able to sort things quickly and she was right as rein within minutes. There was no looking back and her cria goes from strength to strength. Lets hope our the remainder of our cria are equally good results.</div>

This weekend I had a fabulous time at Newton Abbot & South Devon Canine Society Open Show. Pearl, our pointer puppy, was awarded Best Puppy in Breed. Then Nettie, our seven month old HWV pup won her Open class, beating some older, top winning competition to gain Best of Breed and Best Puppy in Breed. This meant I had two puppies in the puppy group ring, which is unheard of for me who isn't very often seen out showing! Just to add the icing on the cake, Nettie was later awarded Puppy Group 4.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">It was lovely to get an update from Hettie's owners in France today (Hettie is Nettie's sister). She had been to a practice working test and was the youngest there by some way. However, she completed all the retrieves albeit having a bit of fun on the way back! A really great start for them since they are both novices! </span></div>

I thought an update was long overdue. As usual it is busy, busy, busy here but not much news.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The puppies have started leaving us and we are looking forward to a quieter life shortly! One will be staying extra especially longer since she will be heading over to France. The ones that have left are doing very well and we look forward to monitoring their progress. This litter has been a bit special since we own both parents, a first for us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The cats are doing well although I am afraid there is no photo update.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The alpacas are no doubt enjoying this brighter spell and I hope the cooler spell we are due this week doesn't last too long.</div>

Today saw two "firsts" for the puppies. This morning they had their first taste of solid food, and they loved it, no coaxing necessary they dived straight in. This was followed by a VERY brief foray into the garden for a quick sniff around before returning to their warm room. It no doubt won't be long before they would rather be out than in!</div>

Sadly we have had to say goodbye to one of our little girl puppies today. She had not gained any weight since birth and despite our best efforts and round the clock nursing it became clear that the kindest thing to do would be to let her be at peace.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The rest of the puppies are doing well and now have their baby names so introducing...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Girls: Crumble (beige), Blossom (turquoise and pink), Juice (lilac), Orchard (turquoise and white)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Boys: Pip (green), Bobbin (blue), Mac (turquoise),</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
