GUY AND PURDIE ARE 8 YEARS OLD
Our Guy and Perdie are brother and sister, they met up 4 years ago when our neighbour Megan rehomed a dog from her daughters friend. When Megan invited us in to meet her "new dog" it was obvious how similar they were even though she is rough and he is smooth haired, when we looked at their details they had the same birthday and after some investigations we discovered they were actually related.
They have a lovely bond with each other and Perdie has become part of our family.
"WHAT A LOVELY SUPRISE"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
2015
We have enjoyed another extremely busy year with our dog school with extra classes needed to fit everyone in!
We are now enjoying a well earned winter break once again in our favorite place in Spain, it`s wonderful to be able to bring our dogs with us again even though Dingo is now 13!
We would like to thank all our lovely pupils for supporting us yet again this year, we have enjoyed meeting everyone one of you and your super dogs.
WISHING EVERYONE A MERRY CHRISTMAS
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016
2016 is the twentieth year for our dog training school, we hope to have some celebrations during the year to mark this achievement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We already have news for next year!
EMMA AND BARNEY WILL REPRESENT WALES IN THE INTER-REGIONAL OBEDIENCE COMPETITION AT CRUFTS 2016
Many congratulations to you both on this achievement, we look forward to helping you prepare and supporting you on the great day.
5TH DECEMBER
THE DOGS CHRISTMAS PARTY!
Always a great event for our pupils, it amazes me how much effort goes into dressing the dogs in their party outfits. Although we were stuck indoors due to the weather the games went down well and we had some keen winners especially in the chuck a sausage game! Every dog went home with a squeaky present.
Pictures of the party; fancy dress winner Peter seems to think Yogi`s outfit is funny.

It is with a heavy heart I report the sad and very sudden passing of Janet and Geoffs lovely Labrador Bruno.
Bruno was a very clever dog and from the start he and Janet formed a great partnership winning many prizes at all the dog shows they entered. His temperament was second to none, he made many friends at our class and the shows, he was a favourite at the homes he visited with Janet as a Pat Dog he made Janet and Geoff so proud.
We will all miss him at class and his great sausage catching ability at the christmas party! he was amazing!
We all feel for you at this very sad time and send you our deepest sympathy.
Pat and Colin
and all your friends at our dog school

This lot had been for a good run in a very muddy field after training!! Good thing Anne is a groomer and bathed Destin a pale goldie, Paco the french one and Curtis a white! poodle when she got home, but at least they had a good time.
JANUARY
Many thanks to Anne who is running our weekend classes for us while we are on our winter break in spain with our dogs.
Pictures of Guy having a swim, Dingo who was 12 years old in December and Bodie went around Nerja in his santa outfit on Christmas Eve.
