McBIRDY - Jean DUHANT's Blog (78)

Our Cheyenn of McBirdy, senior of the house, is 9 years old today!

Of course the traces of the age appeared on her face. But she preserved all her dynamism which always characterized her.

She still climbs the walls and fences with an incredible flexibility.

We always thought that her name had indeed been allotted to her. “Cheyenn” is associated to the native nations of the American West, close relations and integrated perfectly into the wild nature.

Cheyenn is the base of…

From an american friend; I received some irish Christmas gifts.

One is a "Worry Stone" from Connemara.You have to rub this stone and let your worries disappear.

There is a text about worry with a real irish humour that I appreciate a lot and I want to share it with you:

Why Worry ?

There are only two…

It's clear, Mum Cheyenn (CIB Cheyenn of McBirdy) passed on the genes for hunting qualities to her puppies.

This afternoon, a lot of them showed real qualities on game (quails). It's funny to see that so young puppies have already such natural instincts.…

A very hard decision to take this Friday but we cant' let her suffer anymore.

Our sweet mummy Yelly is gone !

She was the sweetest girl we ever had !

Born at the famous Kennel LORDLY from Jean & Rita Struyf, she was the second bitch in our McBirdy kennel fondation.

She gave us a lot of great dogs: Buzz / Bumbee / Bridget / Cheyenn / Chelby / Ciaran / Dundee / Danny Boy / Dicey Dovey and Eileen of McBirdy.

She was a very sweet girl and has been a wonderful mate…

Great success for McBirdy team !
