Realising that we only had one Christmas Stocking for the fireplace I decided to spend an hour (or so I thought) making one for Rafferty.  It took on a life of its own and many hours later I finally finished it.  It is a one off and not to be repeated.  I have learnt my lesson.

ABRAXA VON DEN WIESENSTROLCHEN, daughter of our canadian redhead VDH-Ch. Russell's Kismet (better known as ELI) and new Int.FTCh. Lohmann's Odwaga, has left Germany.

A bone? Hmm, not bad.

A bit of female company? That sounds better.

A day out hunting? BRILLIANT!

So that is what we did, we spent a day in the Alsace with friends and Glen enjoyed a bit of hunting with François Boitier (I do not shoot so can't take Glen hunting myself).

Another thrill was seeing 'Glen Junior du Domaine du Fuchsberg' having a first session on partridge. He stole the…

need help! Lucy is almost 13 years old. Blind/deaf but walking fine. She had to be spayed last week as infection in womb. Her kidneys and liver are fine. What illnesses/reasons do you let them go? I know that in my heart I'll know but would like some feed back. Any older setters out there??!!

It is not always easy to take a portrait of our 'Lively Bundle of Fur' - here we are at a beach in Norway and Joy was in her explorer mood:

I was so busy, trying to get her to sit still for a moment - while she was busy, trying to dig through to Myra :-) - that I did not even notice, that my camera settings were still on 'sunny 16' or beautiful weather, from…
