Sorry it has been so long since the last blog....
Over the last several weeks the dogs have kept us extremely busy. We have attended many shows with Teal - our show dog KC name Devon Elite Just One Look of Beneldys. She has been doing consistantly well in the show ring at open and championship level - being highly placed many times and winning her third Best of Breed and Best puppy.
We have also qualified for Crufts again next year, and she is only 11 months old.
On the working side of things we have been training hard, we hope to be entering some tests later on this year.
On the breeding side we have a litter due April 4th - sire Wylanbriar As Time Goes By At Millerdan - call name Jake. Dam Beneldys Jezabel Jet, call name Daisy. She is looking really good and well, her coat is gleaming and she is in the peak of good health, she is still enjoying a bit of training, which is keeping her toned and fit. Both sire and dam are extensively health screened and have extremely low hip scores, both have 0/0 elbows, current clear eye certificates, both are Optigen tested 'clear' for GPRA, and both are 'clear' for CNM - and Dam is also tested 'clear' for RD/OSD and NARCOLEPSY - so puppies will be quite a special litter. For more information of the Dam - please see Our Dogs page and go into the Daisy page http://beneldyslabradors.web.officelive.com/Daisy.aspx - and for more information on the Sire - please go to Millerdan website and go to the Our Boys page http://www.millerdan.net/jake.html.
Anyone interested puppy list orders are now been taken. Daisy is a very keen methodical working dog, she is extremely fast, has a very strong hunting instinct, a good nose and unbelievable stamina, she lives for her work and thoroughly enjoys it. She is a very sweet natured dog, loving and loyal with impeccable manners.
The young dogs are coming on a treat, their training is going exceptionally well, they are a pleasure to own and train, as they all are.
This year we will be attending many more shows and game fairs, the working ones love the scurries, and some working tests. So it promises to be a very busy pleasurable year for us all, and we are really looking forward to it all.
We will keep you all posted. Bye for now. Everybody take care and enjoy your dogs.
