30th January 2010
9th Paisley & Dist…..again the weather was very bad but this show is only a few miles from our house so we braved the conditions……the venue was freezing cold…..6 beagles were entered, only two turned up our Dee and Liz Calikes with Bailey……. Bailey beat Dee in Open and got Gp 3……the judge today was Mrs M Boulcott.
3rd Kilmarnock & Dist should have been our first show of the year…… unfortunately the snow was very bad and I decided not to risk the journey, so we stayed in by the fire……… |

Happy New Year!!
Apologies for not updating the website (as often as we usually do) towards the end of 2009, things happened within the family, our little grandson Aidan is ill and our time was taken up with puppies but hopefully things will get back to normal very soon……. Aidan is coping very well with his treatment and we have everything crossed for his recovery……… Cheri and Shay’s puppies are looking very nice indeed…..and as we cannot decide between them they will both be staying with us (for a while anyway till we see how they develop) and joining the pack at Bruadair…….. We are looking forward to an exciting 2nd half of the year when we get the youngsters in the ring….they will hopefully be joined by another youngster as we will be introducing a Marada puppy in early Feb, she will be from a mating by Marada Venus & Bruadair Buadhmhor ShCM (BRU) bred by Carole & Alf Wood.
