Bubba Home for a Visit

Hi All,

Well, Bubba has been here for 10 days with his doggy family. The younger brothers & sister are big enough now, that a great time was had by all. (Of course, I am exhausted!) I think Bubba is going to be shown. His Mum is excited about it. And, once I get him to relax, he is VERY pretty. Sandra, I think you have every right to be extremely proud of what Billy Bob is siring.
Bubba is almost 13 months old, and look at his colour? He has his Mum's density and his Da's texture. As soon as the legs get grown in completely, we will be set to go.
Enjoy the pictures. I am well pleased with the way all of Billy Bob's wee one's are shaping up. Will post soe of the younger one's in a few days.

Crufts Report

Billy Bob and Molly are waiting to hear what is going on at Crufts. Billy Bob is getting ever so impatient!!!!

am off to Crufts

well its off to Crufts tonight,Ch Miss Coiln ready for a bit of a trim and wee Issacc is going too.
Discover Dogs tomorrow then Friday terrier day with Miss American Pie (us imp)
i am taking the laptop so if anything happens you all will be the first to know

i blame the owners

Asbos for dogs, or "Dogbos", may be introduced under changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act.

Other government proposals include forcing dog owners to insure themselves against the risk their pet will attack someone and requiring them to microchip their mutts.
The "Dogbo" orders, or Dog Control Notices, would allow police and council officials to insist owners muzzle, leash or even neuter their pets.
The measures are designed to tackling the growing problem of vicious animals being bred for use as weapons.

Another mention of 16" bedlington

anyone any idea when the standard went up from 16" then,this seems to be 1960

Getting ready for Crufts

CH Miss Colin at GIPCYAN after her first trim for crufts
i spend more time on my working bedlingtons for crufts than i do with the show ones
