Puff and Clifford had a lovely litter of ten pups on the 22nd of Dec. They are all going to splendid families with very varied lifestyles and we thought it would be interesting to follow them from birth to their first birthday. We are keeping a little lass ourselves so will take extra interest in seeing how they all develop and sharing the ups and downs of puppy training. The cast of characters are: Sickan.Ozzie,Branston,Louis,Dougal,Rio,Rika,Woody, Arthur and Sally.

Logan from Scotland "I'll take them all please"!
The final choice for Carolyn and Logan was Rio shown here being massaged by our Swedish friend Anna Lena.She was wonderful at massaging the pups until they fell into a trance---Rio does move!
Rio and Carolyn on departure day
Carolyn,Logan and Rio with Gramma Finn looking on. Another wee Scottish lass.
Rio has had a visit from a behaviorist and with a concentrated effort on Carolyn's part--she no longer nips Logan and they can really enjoy each other. Secret was to put her in another room for 2 minutes each time she nipped---after about 10 trips--the message got through---we will be trying this with Sally.
Sure wish our Sally had a mate like Logan--they look so happy.
this is a new cross between a doodle and a rabbit-a rabadoodle!
