Joan Clancy's Comments

Hi Joan,
Thanks for your answer. I tried some tricks with my setters last years when I knew "klicker". It's a fantastic tool to teach dogs. Even my oldie Bajka (11,5 now) make some simple thing. It lasted much longer to teach her, but it could be done. And works till now. Setters sometimes are hard to learn, but if... they remember for all life.
Greatings from me, Bajka and Krusia
Merry Christmas and Happy and Successful New Year!!!

Or smile and take photos.:-)))
Thanke you for your comment.

I'm only a little bit familiar with klicker, my friends are better by far. They work in dogotherapy and my Bajka (11,5 years now) worked some times ago too. It was the reason to teach her first step of obedience and some tricks to make fun. Bajka is "retired" now but she liked very much to work with children, invalid person etc.
Merry Christmas and all the best for you and your family (doggy as well) in New 2009 Year

Good luck to you and Timmy!

Thanks Joan for commenting on my pic. That is a puppy pic, but my girls are still the same to this day. They are now both 7 and often still sleep 'touching' each other and cuddling up. Love it that they are so close.

Hi there Joan
Oh my god if this litter doesn't come to fruition then I am really going to look a fool.....I have been waiting for it for over 6 years now, this is the third bitch, my first girl that I mated was Jas, she lost two mummified puppies, and, she had a C.Section to remove them, then there was Tam, I was arranging her mating on the Monday and she was dead by the Friday, so very very sad...and then there comes Saffy we just keep fingers crossed as to her, I think that she has got the be the maddest of them all, but I am SO looking forward to it. Will keep everyone informed..
As for Jas it was so unexpected, what happened at the weekend, I really thought that it was just a night thing. Yes I must say that I think that the sun rises and sets on Jas, and I am so saddened to what is happening to her, and she so wants to please, I think Lyn Hathaway said about Layla 'she was special to start with, but now is even more special' well words to that affect, but you can get the guest.
Thanks for the congratulations, the place was all the sweeter for knowing about her problem, and she still went round that ring as if she owned it. Head held high.
Thanks again for the comments, speak soon....All the best Dee and the girls

Thank you Clancy for your comments. Just as your pictures and video show, these lovely dogs do keep you entertained! My puppy is now 2 and a half years old and I love looking back at her naughty ways - and she has not changed.

Kind regards

Hi Joan,
Malachy is stunning, just like his sister Paige. Paige is owned by a friend of mine and I have loved her from the off. The other US/IK mix I like is Kate Seymours breeding. When I was over for one of your Nationals in 2000, my eye kept going to the same type and they were all eitherbred by Kate or by her dog Good Fortune. When I discoverd that they went back to UK breeding it expalined why I liked them so much! I also loved Robert E Lee, he wasn't really my type, but he cut a magnificant figure in the ring and boy could he move. It's not you with the photos it's the computer, it's the same on my desk top but on my laptop I can view them fine. Lurgavon would be considered British I think, rather than Irish, though I'm sure someone out there will correct me if I'm wrong! So go on spill the beans.....where can I find all these others on here that are related to Paige?
Best wishes,
Michelle

Thanks for that Joan,

I will check them out. I had heard that Rose had to let some of her dogs go due to a change of circumstances. DO you know which one's she has kept?
Best wishes,
Michelle

Hi Joan. Your Malachy is a lovely dog!! I think Lurgavon would be considered Irish but I would have to ask Mable!!!!

That is VERY interesting as guess who we got that one from!!

Hi Joan..thankyou for the nice comments for my Lola...she really does love cuddles!! enjoyed looking at your 'happy family' photos! Best wishes..Sammi

Hello Joan, My photo of Harvey on top of the world is a slight cheat as the cloud you can see is actually a reflection in water and the blue 'sky' is the sky reflected in water as well. But it was such a beautiful morning that we felt like we were on top of the world, so not too big a porkie!! Love your pictures, your dogs look so full of fun. Linda and the Harvey Hound!

Trust me Joan, Harvey feels anywhere is a great place for a picnic and so is always on the lookout and woebetide us if he spots it first!!!

Have a great weekend with lots of, hopefully, dry walks.

Bye for now, Linda and the Harvey Hound.
