We're looking forward very much to the weekend when our planned Beardie herding clinic is to take place at nearby Glebe Farm.

With a specialist guest trainer all the way from Italy, and a wonderful assortment of dogs in attendance, all we need now is for the weather to be kind to us, and it promises to be a weekend to remember! Pictures and more information will appear on the dedicated website www.spanglefish.com/HerdingBeardies

Diva has been practising hard, and the most recent training session saw her in a more harmonious state of mind again after her recent flighty and unco-operative spell, so let's hope she is willing to show our trainer all she has learned, and not let the side down!  Younger brother Mirk has been "doing his revision" too and I think we can rely on him to put in some good work.

In the meantime the nursery has been prepared, as we start the countdown to the arrival of our newest litter.  Not long to go now!
