I have seen some very pleasing and soft heads at Patrick's, not all obviously but a good few very good ones.
Yes, I did too - as you say, not all of them, but certainly a good number. _________________ Annie

Thanks, Goldie, I did have the Whitney book but loaned it years ago and, well, you can guess the story. So, I better get another copy, now I have a new breed. Thankyou for the clues on the hard-to-regain characteristics.
When will you get him Patricia? Look forward to seeing him. _________________ Annie

To follow, picture of Etincelle de K, who will be brought in by Andy & Sue. Choice of pups is impressive, adults too Now, the wait At least we know these pups will be taken out, Edam is now starting to swim too.
If only Patrick had thought about this docking issue a bit earlier, it would have helped!!! But Thanks to Barbara who mentionned she thought he had 3 such dogs. I hope he will be as good as the Italian!!!
Jayne, Edam does go back to Ebert but also includes other lines such as du Bois des Ecrivains, as well as going back to SKA via Prince du hameau de la Baronniere. Edam's father is a tricolour( and a nice one with excellent conformation). Mum-which Barbara must have seen- is a tailless bitch bought from one of Patrick's friends. She herself, had 3 tailless bitches too. She is a daughter of Soisic, herself a daughter of Loulou, Lorca's brother!! Loulou is Ivry's son of course.
Must admit that having had dogs like Lorca is difficult to measure up to. Nothing comes quite to their level-as yet-for me... Hence I have decided to go back to what has worked best for me...
The socialising of imports brought up in kennels has been a huge learning curve and I cannot emphasise enough the importance of those first few weeks. It is very hard I find for some to behave as a pet as well as a working dog. Though still loving. One or two have lacked the whole experience of knowing how to behave as a puppy, even to the extent of playing. It can take to over a year sometimes
This simply does not happen with Patrick's dogs. Hence my lack of caution with other lines
I could write a book about my imports!!!
