Hi Philip and Amanda

Everything is going fine with Bryn. Absolutely no problem with toilet training him, he was virtually trained straight away. He is definitely a very intelligent dog who is taking up most of our time at the moment. He loves larger dogs and gets on with everybody, human or animal. He travels well in the car and has just returned from a holiday at my parents in Guernsey. The crossing was really rough but as usual he wasn’t phased by the journey. Attached are a few photographs that you might like to see and put on your blog if you so choose. He is not interested in getting in the water yet!

Hope all is well with your family.

Best Wishes & Regards

Dave and Anne Rouget

Come take a look! See what cute bundles of fluff we are, only just 2 weeks old, eyes open and very healthy.

All of the puppies now have their eyes open and are beginning to focus. They are all strong, getting around their whelping box  investigating their living quarters.

Bear and her puppies have thrived so much in the first week, Bear looks extremely well and is a very content mother. The puppies continue to keep their dark colour and pigmentation is starting to show.

On Saturday the 26th July at 19.15 Bear went into labour, by 19.26 we had out first puppy. The next 3 were closely followed all easy births and healthy. After nearly an hours wait she produced her 5th and final puppy. Both bear and puppies are doing extremely well. Some puppies have white markings and a good deep colour.

The puppies were then weighed and sexed, they were a nice even weight throughout the litter and the final count were 4 bitches and 1 dog.

This week Kiara and myself have got out in between the rain for SOME sunshine and training. Kiara is now 13 weeks old and is walking well on the lead, sitting on command and retrieving well. We have been play retrieving from long grass, stick piles and the side of crop’s.   

Kiara is very loving and responding well to her name. All my friends love to know how she’s progressing and keep asking if they can take her home.

Bizley went for his portrait last week and just look at the out come. What a picture!
