Dawn you are an angel they are gorgeous really they are I need the names now I know one is Breeze the one lying down????:? I think.
And I would know thats not the view from your house in Walsall ;) but would be interested to know where in the lake district?

And the lurcher is just right the right size the right coat everything just right.:D

[Jac]

My Mum is just back from Walsall. She went on a mystery tour to bring in the new year. Said it was great.
I do like your non cat babies.

[borderdawn]

Thanks all.

What do you mean about glorious Walsall Kazz?? :-D :-D :-D :-D

Left to right. Breeze, then Connor and Tarn. Lurcher is "Berkley"

This is where we stayed, its a lovely house, the view is to die for, its in Grasmere, the first time we have stayed there, we usually opt for the Hawkshead/Windermere areas.

[Fran]

Wow!! looks lovely Dawn :cool:

[Snoof]

That lurcher looks so much like my friend's Dill it's unreal! All beautiful dogs :)

[Kazz]

Thats what I meant to say Breeze is the other end to the one lying down:roll:

And I am saying nothing about Wonderful Walsall I live too close.;)

The holiday cottage looks brilliant but I imagine loads of sheep:roll: my two aren't good with sheep.

That lurcher looks so much like my friend's Dill it's unreal!
That wouldnt be Em would it?
Dawn.

[Moli]

Love your borders Dawn, and the lurcher is a real cutie too He looks very like a bedlington!

[Snoof]

That wouldnt be Em would it?
Dawn.
By now I'm told you already know that yep, it's Em. I live vicariously through her because I love dogs but don't want to/can't have one because I'm disabled and can't by any stretch guarantee regular walks (despite living by the beach, for crying out loud!).

[dinahsmum]

Great pics Dawn.
Love that lurch!

[borderdawn]

Thanks all. Yes Snoof Em nabbed me and told me who you were! small world eh!
Dawn.

[Snoof]

I showed her the picture because he looks so much like Dill and she asked if your name was Dawn. Actually, I think her original words were "where did you get that picture?!"

When I first met Dill, I decided he must be my boyfriend's illicit lovechild :lol: He and Em have known each other for ages, and Matt and Dill have very similar moments of wile and fecklessness :roll:

I hope he's not going to be reading this... ;)

[borderdawn]

I have met Matt, Snoof, he's a nice guy, and TALL!! taller than me if I remember rightly and I am 6ft!
Dawn.

[Snoof]

Oh yes, he's lovely :) And he's right about 6' tall (but he does wear boots a lot so if you saw him with boots on he'll have seemed taller). I'm 5'11", so when I wear my boots and he's barefoot I can do a spot of looming :lol:

Next time Em goes to a dogshow you're going to we'll all have to pile into a train and come along. My son adores dogs (but is also very good with them - for a 3-year-old anyway) and would probably do no end of happy squealing seeing so many in one place :lol:

[Naomi]

Fab pics Dawn, I just love the look on your Border Terriers

[borderdawn]

Thanks Naomi, they only embarrass me at least 5 times a week!
Dawn.

[smudgley]

Dawn, Do you show your Borders? We used to breed & show them a few years ago:shock:

[borderdawn]

Yes I do Smudgley.

I only show the boys at working terrier shows now though, their mouths are quite damaged through working over the years. Breeze works too, but is a "bayer" so hardly ever gets a mark on her. She has been brilliant in the ring, Crufts qualified for life, won her stud book number, and now having won that I dont do anywhere near as much travelling to qualify. Tell me more about your Borders, what breeding were they?
dawn.

[smudgley]

Our main breed was Bullmastiffs - then we got a little BT male - we enjoyed him & thought we would get a young foundation bitch. We did & then we kept a daughter from her, (Chelsea) and then kept a son from Chelsea. He was the best one we had & we did quite well showing him. But with all the "politics" in showing (more with the Bullmastiffs than the BT's) my husband lost interest, then I went back to work & time was really limited. A lot of our family have borders. Including my in-laws.:)
They were from Orenberg lines. If you have any SBT club year books or MBT club year books from a few years ago our dogs were in there.
What breeding are yours Dawn?

[borderdawn]

Mmmm starting to ring bells with me, especially when you said Bullmastiff! I think I have seen you a few times you know, a few yrs back though, I have got year books but not to hand, I have the last 15yrs! Is it "Penluso" or something along those lines?

Mine are Conundrum, Dandyhow and a bit of others too, some Orenberg a bit back too.
Dawn.

[smudgley]

Yes Penluso is our affix. :cool:

[Kazz]

Isn't it amazing what a small world this is...........:-D

[borderdawn]

Isnt it a small world Kazz. Yes you are who I think you are, hello again.:-D
Dawn.

[smudgley]

:smt017 Hello :)
Not sure who you are though, erm, I'll keep thinking. :smt017 I know a couple of people from near you with BT's but not sure I know who you are :oops:

[borderdawn]

You might remember me by sight. :-D well you would never forget me!!
Dawn.
