In December she went to The Queens Veterinary Hospital in Cambridge where she saw Laura Owen, an expert in this field. We called her Hope in the hope we could fix her. One of the puppies turned out to be a “wet” puppy (ectopic ureters). Highlight of the year so far has to have been our trip up to Inverness for The Golden Retriever Gathering - where a record 361 dogs were photographed outside the ruins of Guischan House - the home of the Golden Retriever. Onward and upward!Ģ018 - A slow start to the year with more surgery to recover from - a new hip this time! Back in the ring by April with Mimi who has had an amazing few months of wins and placings at almost all her shows. However on the brighter side we had some lovely days in the show ring with wins at Championship shows as well asīest of Breed at several Open shows. Mimi was mated in September but failed to conceive. Fairly drastic hair clipping meant she had a very cool summer, but not enough coat to return to the ring. She was spayed which meant we not only lost her litter we also lost the chance for any more,īut again, thankfully, she too recovered. She spent 4 worrying days with the vets until a CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. Sylvie was mated in May and developed a pyometra. I kept one of Mimi’s puppies (Paris) but Summer’s all went to super new homes.Ģ019 – A year of near misses – John had a heart attack in March but thankfully recovered. They were lovely puppies but a lot of hard work too. She produced 11 puppies in August, all almost identical. With no shows or events we mated Summer to Calarose Shining Star. They made life bearable as I never leave puppies alone in the house and so staying at home helped us through the worst of “shielding”. Mimi was mated to Shinehill Snow PatrolĪnd produced 6 lovely puppies in May. We did about three shows and exhibited at Crufts and then the country locked down. On the 28th Septemberĭemi celebrated her 14th birthday – there was cake!Ģ020 - Well that was pretty much washed out by Covid. Now back with new clothes she is being lightly shown. Paris missed all her puppy classes and then dropped her coat. Paris qualified for Crufts as did Connie and one of Summer’s puppies is being shown and she too We have attended quite a few shows now with some nice placings and wins.
