In 2021 Dolly had her last litter. From this we kept a bitch. Unfortunately, when it came to her health checks, it was found that her hips were not good enough to be bred from.

​

This meant that this was the end of that line. However, Florence stayed at Briony’s and has made a most loving girl even if she delights in rolling in anything muddy or nasty on her walks.

 

2022 was a rotten year. In a few short months we lost Anna (N. Anastacia) at 11 and a half from Lymphoma, then Dolly (N. Gwendolyn) suddenly at only 6 and then dear old Wizz (N. Wistful) at 14. This brought us all to a low point.

 

In 2023, we brought in new life,in the form of Pippa (Baricia Bella Rosa at N.) Her pet name was a homage to Gyrima Pippalina, who had been our original foundation bitch. Pippa burst into our lives with great enthusiasm.

 

She has had mixed results in her show career but has taken time to mature and we are optimistic about the future.
