Dora’s Diary – Four weeks’ old!
Puppies are now just over four weeks’ old and getting more independent. Dora is enjoying more time away and going for longer walks, they also have beautiful little teeth which is another reason she is reluctant to feed them for so long! The pups and Dora come upstairs and sleep in the bedroom overnight and then their slave (ie me!) carries them back down to the puppy pen in the sitting room. An extension has […]
Dora’s Diary – Day 23 Naughty pups!
Pups are finding their feet and getting more noisy and naughty – there is always one who wants to rule the roost and boss the others about. However, when things start getting out of hand mum Dora wades in to sort them out! See the video below, can’t believe how the pups are growing compared to a week or so ago. For more info, please go to the Puppies page and look at our other […]
Dora’s Diary – Day 20 pups on their feet!
The puppies are planning a break out in the video below and are starting to find their feet although a bit wobbly on their little legs! They are certainly more vocal and the bolder pups are trying to lick Dora’s bowl of puppy milk so this weekend they will be relocated to the larger puppy pen in the living room. They have already had a few visitors, mainly close family and friends, who Dora vets […]

We had a wonderful time last year going around the country attending all the Living Heritage Game Fairs. However this year Netley and Essex Game Fairs have been dropped mainly due to the weather last year which was too hot at Netley and too wet and cold at Essex. So hoping this year will […]
Dora’s Crufts Trophy
For the past year we have been looking after a fourth Heeler though unfortunately we shall have to say farewell to her this week; Dora’s Crufts Trophy for Lancashire Heeler Best Bitch will be returning to Crufts to be passed on to the next winner of the title. Dora, Madincrowd Bathsheba JW, won the beautiful wooden trophy which was presented last year by Foxthyme in memory of Jackie Cartledge, who we all sadly miss, […]
FAB Agility Show
Today we attended our first proper FAB Agility Show at the Turnpike Showground in Motcombe. Just took Dora for practice and to fathom out how an agility show works – quite a lot of waiting around for your turn but everyone is very friendly and helpful to “Newbies”! Our trainer Tracy Ryan was there competing and pointed us in the right direction although in the excitement of running the course I completely lost my way […]
