| I have been involved with animals, especially dogs for most
of my life. I whelped my first bitch, a Springer Spaniel
called Lucy when I was just fourteen years old. I do not
know who was was most frightened, me or Lucy. Anyway she
proceeded to produce seven healthy pups. I wanted to keep
them all but was not allowed to keep any. As I grew older, my
brother and myself became very involved in Whippet racing, going
up and down the country most weekends to race meetings.
The Whippets all stayed with us as they retired from racing and
they gave us much fun and pleasure.
I then moved to my present home, taking my Border Collies
with me. I started breeding the Collies very successfully
and I always had a waiting list for my pups, which were the old
fashioned type of border Collie. I then retired the
Collies and they lived their lives out with me on my
smallholding which they loved.
I became involved with the Pomeranian breed about sixteen
years ago. I can always remember reading a book about
Pomeranians that said "Once you have a Pomeranian you will
always have one". They are very addictive and special
little dogs, all with their own little personalities and funny
little ways. I adore them all.
Whenever I have a litter of pups with these little dogs I
feel like like I am having the pups for them. Afterwards
it is so fascinating and exciting watching them grow up, better
than television any day.
I have had quite a lot of success in showing my Pomeranians
and I do occasionally have puppies for sale to selected
homes. The colours I am breeding at the moment are Orange,
Orange sable, Cream sable and Blacks. I would like
eventually to breed some parti-coloured Pomeranians.
My children are looked after by myself, my kennel girl Kerry,
my German Shepherd Bridie and
Meg my husbands Border Collie.
