Lovely news that Aneira is now out of quarantine. Looking forward to meeting her and can imagine as she is same age as Derry that they would have a great play together. Take care.

Hi Melinda, lucky the dogs don't seem to get all hung up on birthdays!!

Bridget is going well and thanks for the comment on her lanky stage! I was just looking at her yesterday (she turned 7 months last Saturday) and thinking that she is still just a baby... she doesn't look as mature as other pups I see on ES at the same age. Given that, I still love her to bits and can wait a little longer for the maturity to come. We have some shows on the weekend, so I will try and get some pics.

Love reading your comments and opinions on the discussions. Just read your last one and look forward to some more interesting discussion!!

chat soon

Don't despair - many parents go back for more babies, so there must be a light at the end of the tunnel!!!

Hi Melinda, thanks for your comment on Clancy. He actually has more coat than it looks as it was a little blowy that day, but yes, the coat is coming as is the maturity!! He is a typical Irish Boy and taking his maturity slowly! Next year, I think he will come into his own. Hope all is going well with your crew! chat soon, Cheryl

Hi Melinda, Bridget is doing really well and just such a character and a ratbag. She has taken to barking at the goats as they walk past the house yard!!! She thinks it's great fun!!!! She doesn't bother the cows!!

I posted some new pics on ES a couple of weeks ago. I am very happy with her. Again it was blowy that day so her ears looked even fluffier than they actually are. June tells me that Bridget's sister has already come into season!! I'm so glad Bridget hasn't yet. I bet Fionni was a bit of a challenge with Aneira in season. I'm not looking forward to Clancy's behaviour when Bridget comes in!!!

I agree, they grow up so fast!

Hi Melinda, maybe? Same naughty?:)) Aneira would be very happy, she can speaks with somebody Hungarian :) It's all the same to us because a girl will go to England and she will be stay till 9 months Milka's litter. We will keep a girl. Already I can see two boys are fantastic now. L. Judit & László

Hi Melinda

Thanks for your concern. We are very fortunate that we are in the 25% of Qld not affected at the moment. We are not taking this smugly though as we have our wet season ahead of us, so who knows what is in store. It is raining again today. We have been lucky that our friends in Rockhampton, Maryborough and Brisbane have not been affected by the flooding in their areas either.

I hope all is well over your way. I was only thinking about you the other day as you hadn't had any activity on ES lately. I see you have posted a new pic of Aniera this week. She is lovely.

chat soon

Hi Melinda,

how are all the clan and of course Maia? Glad to see that you are taking Aniera out and about...we need more of that.

Annabelle, Brodie's daughter, is now on 71 points. She has picked a couple of good BOB against different types. Brodie's son in North Queensland has picked up a couple of BIG'S. Better than his old man!!!

Cheers,

Carmel

Hi Melinda,

Thanks for your lovely comments on our blogs. We have been having a great time lately. No shows for about 5 weeks now, so hope Clancy at least takes the challenge at our next shows in August!! Bridget is now on 49 points, so nearly half way,

Hope your family and your lovely reds are going well.

Glad to hear you had a great day and Niamh enjoyed it too!!

Well wait till your sons turn 20 and 16!! Kelvin just turned 20 this month and Mitchell is 16 next Thursday! making me feel quite old now.

So, you are very young!!! Hard to believe Niamh is 2 years old already..... where does the time go!!! xx

Hi Melinda, oops sorry I misread your post.

I hope Aniera has settled down and you have done well at the show yesterday. There certainly are some interesting times with the girls when their hormones come into play!

I know what you mean about getting time to do tracking. I tried when my boys were young, but I just couldn't put the time into it, especially when you have to get up so early and either take them out of bed, etc. Perhaps when Niamh is older you will be able to do a bit.

cheers, Cheryl xx

Thanks Melinda for your cordial word about my Kruszynka. Yes I like this winter photo too, she was very delicate and subtle girl. But all her matters with (even big) dogs have been fixing herself
