Roxy in her new home

 Roxy (previously Bella) with her new collar on - what a sweet picture !
 And with her new family
And with her new best friend, Kumi

Bear in her new home @ 10 1/2 weeks

 Bear with Lily
She has settled in very well in her new home.
 Our friends have a Boxer too and 'uncle' Rocco (2nd from left) came to visit and pose for a group photo.
 What an exciting week for Ziggy - she came to watch Daniel's swimming lesson and had to walk on the lead nicely, and sit and wait while he swam. Then tonight is her first ring craft class where she will start to learn all about showing. It will be the first time she has met any non-boxer dogs.
Our obedience training is coming along well and her formal classes start next Monday. And on Saturday she will go to her first dog show and win the puppy class (I will not be a good looser if she doesn't !!! which is why Ruby will be showing Ziggy for us ongoing).

 Welli is delighted (I know you can't tell that by his facial experession but trust me - that is him delighted !) to find the big puppy crate up in the kitchen. He sneaks in for a lie down in his old cot whenever he can.
Our 3 dogs - Welli (12 1/2 yrs), Ziggy (10 1/2 weeks) and Darcy (4 1/2 yrs).

 Welli is not pleased to be sharing his bed with Bear and Ziggy. He grumbles a lot but generally gets up and lets them have his bed. They do get put in their crates at night so he has some peace.

Ziggy taking after her mum

 Darcy LOVES to dig and Ziggy has clearly inherited that love and is currently excavating the patio ! Let's hope none of them inherit Darcy's swimming 'ability' - she is a truly dreadful swimmer. She stays afloat but only with a lot of splashing and will use anyone nearby to hold her self out of the water. Poor Welli has been submerged by her more than once.


She's really dug quite a big hole here

Some gorgeous pictures of Hetty (previously Gretel) in her new home

"Everyone kill Ziggy !" - some rough and tumble 


Ziggy - she and Bear are trying on their new collars for short periods of time


Bear trying to remove her new collar.


Ziggy at the back door waiting to come in - the log is an extra step so they don't jump down every time they go in and out.


Bella having a final test of the milk supply - all gone


Bella contemplating


Playing with Darcy


Bella eyeing up the washing on the line - can she reach it to pull it off ?

Flossy @ 7 weeks






With her new owner Andrea

7 weeks old



Bear - she is the cleverest - she has learnt to come in the catflap, and where the cat food is kept. She is quite independent and will happily play with a ball or bit of rope on her own.


Storm - he loves cardboard boxes ! He is such a sweet boy - very cuddly and always happy to pose for a photo.


Flossy, looking a bit miserable because she wants to escape the pen and go outside.


Hello Mummy !


Ziggy - looking gorgeous as ever ! She will be starting ring craft classes at 11 weeks so she is ready for the summer's shows. Ziggy is a lively character.



Storm and Bear


Storm posing for the camera again - he always makes eye contact when you call him, but he doesn't necessarily jump about - which is why he is easy to capture on 'film'.


Bella is increasingly a very playful puppy - she was the cuddliest, but now she would rather play a game than lie still. She is going to live with a Beagle so will have a good play mate.
