Great pedigree Victoria, see you have vanity too, Crak, Vicomte, etc...lots of really good dogs. I wish you lots of luck with him.
How is Jamie's back faring? He was not too well last time I spoke to him...
Hope you all had a great time...
Thank you! With all our driving, I don't think it helped his back! But I was glad the weather was mostly kind. It has been so great talking and learning about the shooting and fishing over there...when driving down among the huge open country, Jamie would keep saying how great it would be for grouse!!!! _________________ "...amitie, respect mutuel et amour..."
Who said Epagneul Breton do not like water!!! Today, I took Dionee and Dix for a walk along a local lagoon with Tony and his four.. Dix is a very strong swimmer.
Here he is looking for water rats. My thanks to Tony for taking the photographs. _________________ "...amitie, respect mutuel et amour..."

Victoria, he is lovely...Wish the one I had booked had been HALF as good. Instead it was a disaster Maybe I should have asekd Goldie to pick one for me
Thank you, Patricia! I often think of what Antonio went through for our importation protocols...for one thing, the puppy must be nine months before it can leave so the breeder has that to contend with in the first place. Then I was worried about his hips being on concrete for a month in quarantine The poor boy, as you can imagine, still has his Canadian winter coat and we are heading for our Winter...I have no plans to show him until our Spring/Summer when his coat is sorted! Although yesterday it was so warm, if it had not been for the Autumn colours you could have forgiven for thinking it was still our Summer.
Liver and white in our climate will be something of a mission keeping the liver a good colour and to stop it fading. I am trying to work out just how I have him outdoors with me and still protect his colour for the show ring at the same time!!! We have one of the highest UF rates in the world, well, according to the experts!...arrrrggghhhh You see all the show horses fully rugged even in the Summer! _________________ "...amitie, respect mutuel et amour..."
Try looking in your Horse show shops for some of their products that are used as sunscreens. Avoid the oil based or silicone (Dimethacone) based products as in the end constant use wil dry and or burn the coats.
A product we have her supposedly from OZ is called Mr. Crystal's Value Mix shampoo is a prety good grooming base that seems to conditions Livers well. Remind me later to send you a list of my grooming tools and products I use on my show dogs when competing. _________________ Goldie Coats

Those may be all right for NZ but the Kennel Club have strict regulations in the UK. Perhaps you will need to check them out first. As Goldie uses them fro show dogs in America they may be OK, but better safe than sorry.
