Finally her rosettes she won that day

Oh I need to update this and the pup's have grown so much

2009-11-17T18:34:00.000-08:00

I'm sure Johan (Sandstaff) knows what I am like by now and life just keeps bloody flying by and I cant believe Sall has been in Sweden since April but it's a joy to know she is so happy and has produced a real fine litter not that I have ever doubted her as she is just like her Mum, but a real relief for me that all has gone so well and I think each of her 6 babies are absolute stunners and we must thank Karon with Tyler Ch Stormbull Wot a Boy for his wonderful contribution, but here are some pic's and no doubt some more on the way

Daisy has done 3 champ shows in her life as living on the Shetland Islands is no easy task for just nipping to a show everything has to be prepared and cost has to be laid out but she has qualified for Crufts 3 times so not bad and one day i hope to meet her when I can brave one of the Scottish shows

2009-08-08T17:40:00.000-07:00

Ch Alport Spit Fire (My passed on girl LOL)

2009-08-08T17:32:00.000-07:00

Well her and Tyler Ch Stormbull So Wot produced the most amazing babies and I never have a problem in saying how beautiful the puppies are that our bitches have produced I am how ever more critical of them as they start to develop and don't take offense if its pointed out....But we look forward to watching the pup's grow and we will remain optimistic for the future

Sall's babes are growing fast

2009-07-01T17:33:00.000-07:00

They are really nice

Salls lovely babies over a period of 5 days

Swedish boy

2008-08-11T17:46:00.001-07:00

Awww took little man to Heathrow this morning we got up at 2.00 am to take him and he was so good but then it was the middle of the night so he did what he normally does and slept , he inside his crate weighed 8 kg and I must admit its the worse bit handing them over for the journey and I guess quite scary for them being shipped about and all their own but mustn't dwell as I tend to worry for them and it gives me bad guts as well so when Johan said he arrived safely but a bit of a bad tummy I can only assume he messed himself and I thought well I can relate to the bad tummy just in case anyone thought I might of crapped myself LOL not yet anyways...
He was a lovely little dog and I will miss him as he had tuned into us and our ways at 11 weeks old but I think he will do us proud and be a stunner......Cant get over the litter really how absolutely gorgeous they were, I guess that makes us quite jammy but I never take it for granted as you cant take anything for granted, no wait correction we know things keep going up over here in the UK and I did get a good wage rise this time but then its been nearly 3 years just wish I could do more hours though.

Sall is getting back into shape now and she and Tilly are playing big time and for me her head shape is the best it has been so they do carry on improving even at 4 and half so have a couple of open shows in mind for her but not doing to far now as cant justify the cost and have at least one champ show I could do with her before the years out but not the one people would expect me to go for LOL no I'm not stripping her back for that one as to be honest I like to see that bit more on her now days and she looks better for maturing towards middle age instead of being stringy Sall as we used to call her...The nice thing is though is she is one of those you can show for ever as she hasn't shown any sign of aging yet and I could do with what she is on LOL

Sall

2008-08-03T16:56:00.000-07:00

Well after Motherhood and I cant fault her one bit but boy does she go manky her coat is dropping out big time and is see through and she has itchy boobs we are accustom to this when she has been in season so its obviously hormone related so Sall is in the habit of flipping over to have her cream put on if its bad as in she has walked in the wet grass we do the E45 but most days she has the Aloe Vera gel and Eurax to take out the itch she drives me crazy for this period but in another couple of weeks it would of all passed we feed her a wheat free complete and she has pro-biotic plus an anti-oxidant as well so cant do much more
This is why she could never live with any body else as she is so stuck to your feet and needs attention not in a pathetic way but just requires extra TLC but I still wouldn't be without her and to actually live with she is fine she does as she is told and isn't in your face but she has a bit of a neurotic streak we think she can freak at a plastic bag blowing about and yet be completely laid back most of the time, she gets on with other dogs and never seems put out by dogs sniffing at her even if they glue themselves to her like Ted the Border who lives with Bea and its so funny to watch as he is in ore of Sall and she just ignores him completely so this is why we say she is regal because she can lift her head and look at another dog as if to say "You are so beneath me " LOL
Now I will be working to get her back into shape even though the shape doesn't look bad we just need her coat back as I might take her out for a couple of outings as I think she is one of those that will look great for years she isn't even offering to go grey yet and she will be 5 in December and we did say we would do agility with her so need to look at that again

The one lying is Alport Gypsy Moth pet name Daisy and now living in the Shetland Islands

WOW really chuffed

2008-07-01T05:59:00.000-07:00

I haven't had a chance and been a bit lazy really about getting back on here but have an hour to kill before taking Tag for some physio and the pup's are asleep well they are 5 weeks old today and gorgeous and I will post some pic's but we are busy already have them on 3 meals and they have two Mum's to go at in between even though I am trying to wean them a bit off Sall as she has gone super skinny but happy enough still having 4 meals a day mind you and god knows where she puts it as she only ever briefly looks fat and yes the other Mummy is Nell she was putting on milk and the pup's latched on and thats it she wants to come in and feed as well uncanny that she and Sall cannot share the same space without a gate or cage between them but as Mothers they will show sheer devotion and see each other doing it at well and not a grumble or whine from either....So pup's are fat porkers accept for one he looks lean compared but I think he just that type but he solid when you pick him up so I'm not worried
The two girls are wonderful and it's pretty even in the way of looks both are extremely pretty and nice little shapes about them and the boys are utter hunks and each time I pick one up I think Yep your the one and then I pick up another and think No your the one so needless to say they are all the one LOL and most pup's are lovely but we do do extra lovely me thinks but will come back and update as now have to create a page for Tilly our new older puppy

Babes are 4 days old

2008-05-31T14:33:00.000-07:00

Much relief when we get to 4 days as think we are on a roll after that and with the warm weather today makes it real pleasant for the pup's but a wee bit hot for Mum and me, have to say Sall has been marvelous no problems at all and so nice to be able to chill as I sit here with my glass of sherry just like an old lady and very nice it is to, so I am posting some pics not much to see as they look like tad poles but I like 1 or 2 of them already, lovely blocky heads on them and have really banged on some weight so the milk bar is excellent.
Sall went a walk with the scrummy Bea today Simon took Nell and Tag even though Tag is just to lead walks at the mo as he still lame so thought it would be nice to call in for Bea and for 5 months of age she is bang on as tall as Sall as I would be expected but taking shape big time and holding herself together now much better she sort of waddled a few weeks ago but everything is tightening up and her movement is much improved, beautiful head so I think she is going to do better than I 1st expected and her teeth are perfect, her Mummy is gorgeous and Eddie Dad well if things were not so strained there with his owner I would have that pedigree lined up by now but huge self worth here the off spring are pretty nice

Tense few days

2008-05-28T17:37:00.001-07:00

Well finally can announce Sall gave birth to her 2nd litter and the only problem on having your own stud boy at home as in Sexy Tag we had 3 matings over a period of days so from last Thursday Sall was going to bed with us and boy can she snore and having put up with it over 5 nights the tiredness was setting in, Tuesday morning she got me up at 4.00 am as she was sick seemed all ok so took her back to bed, Simon took over at 8.00 am as he works Tuesday afternoons and I rose at 9.30 but as already said was really washed out, Simon left for work at 12.30 and Sall gave birth to the 1st puppy at 12.50 it was a slow afternoon and I was peeling off clothes LOL but with hot flushes and the heating on in the sitting room for the puppies I just hoped no one called at the door....Well by the time Simon walked in again at 5.20 pm he had the pleasure of seeing the last puppy born, last year she had 5 born 30/03/07 and after the 5th this time was born this time I wondered if she had finished but on looking at her I could still see and feel a hard mound so knew another was on his way took him a while over a good hour and came with a whoosh but was thrilled to have 6 healthy babies 2 girls and 4 boys and Sall was so chilled about it and a day and half later is doing a wonderful job, eating really well and I have just gave her a drink of goats milk , honey and Stress powder a good heaped desert spoon as we have always used this once they have gave birth we give it twice a day, its basically calcium powder we like to think it helps to keep them calm and gives them an added boost, plenty of fresh water as that's what makes milk and plenty of different meats today's she had cooked lambs kidneys boiled in garlic olive oil and water and she loved them, the garlic was more for my benefit as cant stand the smell of cooking kidneys or liver.
Babies are very even have a couple of boy's with nice white chests and some white on the feet which most of will disappear the girls only have a smudge of white on the chest and are very black , strange you might say very black well its our opinion their are different shades of black , you have your smoked black , your grey black and your black black, Tag is very black black so looks like these will be as well, will post pic's when they are a bit older but no point at the moment as they are just tadpoles I will be happy to get to Friday as they will be 4 days old then so we should be on a roll, 4 babies maybe 5 are already spoken for and hadn't got enough bitch puppies gone are the days where we were just grateful for what popped out but at least now no one tries to book a puppy with a big white chest and 4 white feet, the breed line is pretty amazing and well we know that Sall is a good-un I have every confidence though Tag maybe small in the show world at this moment ( But he is standard bloody 16" and at 21 months weighs 36.5 lbs ) and some of the dogs out there could make two of him but when he turns 3 he will be pretty awesome and those big Buggers will be gone because they just kept on getting more coarse and cloddy, but I like to think I have got it right and have to remain faithful to what we are and have achieved and though you can some times become a bit disillusioned you mustn't lose sight of the reasons you fell in love with this wonderful breed...Ok will do an on going report of the pup's and Mum poor Tag and Nell are desperate to get in here and have a look but that wont be for at least a week or so but will post plenty of pics
