28 Aug  -  In a continued move to baffle us we ended up taking Sasha to see Jonas on Monday night after work as she ready for mating. As with Jade, we now have to wait and see what transpires - we are definitely hoping that it will be a normal birth this time and not a Caesarean! Thankfully Jade is now fully recovered after her ordeal and eating normally - as well as being a pain barking at everything and nothing and eating Sasha's collar when they are caged; thankfully that's the only one she eats otherwise it would cost us a fortune in collars.

14 Aug  -  Sadly, 24 hours after writing about Jade and Topsy, young Topsy succumbed for some unexplicable reason and is now waiting for us over Rainbow's Bridge. One of the unfortunate downsides to breeding, we now have to get Jade back to form and turn our thoughts now to Sasha, who has decided to come into season a month before we expected her to.

8 Aug  -  .......and just to show that a pregnant bitch will fool you if at all possible. There I was, just sat a my desk and taking a sip of coffee when Trish phoned to say that the Jade had given birth to a puppy without any warning whatsoever in the living room with all the girls looking on in amazement. Mad dash back home, two visits to the vet later and Jade is the proud (and VERY protective) mother of a Ruby girl which at the moment we have called Topsy. Unfortunately the Black & Tan girls were stillborns.

24 Jul  -  Things progressing as they say with Jade getting closer to 'the event' - just over a fortnight to go in fact. Then the fun begins again, with the added bonus of telling them apart. Also, on a happy note, Ace is now a daddy for the first time having sired a litter with Lily, just follow this link to Julie's website to keep abreast of the latest news with her pups~ Pacchibei Cavaliers

19 Jul  -  And in a rapid follow-up to the show report we took Jade around to the vets this morning to have her scanned and Michael estimates that there are four or maybe five little Jades (Jadesses??) hiding in the hangar - only three weeks to go to find out what the real answer is. For some reason we couln't get him to go on the spot and say what sex they would be!

18 Jul  -  Well Worplesden and the Southern CKCS Club Members Show over for another year and in spite of looking their best we could only gain a Very Highly Commended for Jade in the Black & Tan class. This year we were assisted once again by our grand-daughter Sam, who this year was in the ring at the same time paired off with Willow whist I showed Jade. Again the weather favoured us and the show was held outside to the accompaniment of the local cricket teams playing in the background. Anyway here is a photo of each of the girls in the ring.
