NEWSLETTER 2016
Well what a really busy year we have had with our school, this being our 20th year we have seen many previous pupils with new puppies it has been lovely to meet up with them again along with many new pupils with their pups. The intermediate class has been very popular and we enjoy helping the rescue dogs with their new owners. We started a new beginner class in the summer and this has worked out really well. The competition class has been extremely good with all our pupils achieving success, we also have some new pupils ready to join them next year, very exciting!
Crufts in March was a great success for Emma and Barney; its lovely to see our pupils working their dogs on the green carpet as I have done in the past.
We look forward to supporting Carol and Rafa strutting their stuff at Crufts 2017
Unfortunately we have had to say a sad goodbye to some wonderful dogs, our Dingo, Anne`s Barclay and Megan`s Purdy, all very much missed but we have such lovely memories of them all.
Colin and I would like to thank all our pupils for their continued support in everything that we do, we enjoy all of our classes very much.
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND
A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
We are currently enjoying our winter break in the sun and we will be back soon with renewed energy for another wonderful busy year training all your wonderful dogs.

PERDIE
OWNED AND LOVED BY MEGAN
ALSO GUY, BODIE, PAT AND COLIN
PERDIE 27/9/2007 - 15/9/2016
It is once again with a heavy heart I have to report the passing of another wonderful dog Perdie.
Our good friend Megan took Perdie in when she was 4 years old, we then discovered that she and our Guy were siblings which was amazing! They formed a lovely relationship and Perdie helped Megan through a very tough time, they loved to walk the lanes and run in the fields and we often joined in the fun with them.
Perdie also became part of our family and we loved her dearly.
A lump was found and cancer spread very quickly, a week before her 9th birthday we had to say goodbye.
Perdie was a very happy loving dog, we all miss her and will never forget her laughing face.
Always in our hearts till we meet again.
With sincere sympathy and love to our friend Megan.

BARCLAY
OWNED AND LOVED BY ANNE AND MIKE
I have to report the very sad passing of Anne and Mike`s standard poodle Barclay
He was their first standard poodle after Bella a mini poodle and he started a real passion for the breed with Lloyd and Curtis following on behind, then Lulu a mini from rescue.
He was a star at dog school and won many prizes at our progress tests and at the obedience shows Anne attended. In later life he became very well known along with all the dogs at Cafe Rouge in Chester as Anne and Mike walk all the poodles through the city.
He was a much loved dog and will be missed greatly by all who knew him.
Our sympathy goes to Anne and Mike.

It is with a heavy heart I have to report the passing of our wonderful Kelpie Dingo.
He put his heart and soul into his tracking and searching and just loved to work, we went through so much together traveling all over the country competing, we are so proud of all he achieved.
He turned from a very naughty puppy into a wonderful dog, always willing to work or play and join in with anything that was going on at home and at our dog school.
He came to Spain with us on holiday 4 times! he loved the drive and especially the sunshine, we have named one of the beaches we go to Dingo`s beach, he had a great time with Guy and Bodie,
such lovely memories.
We love him and miss him so much. Till we meet again lad.

On the right is Kirk - again joined us many years ago with another Barbara, they have both enjoyed their training with us and are still attending. He is celebrating his 11th birthday in this picture and we all had homemade cake for a treat.
