Dec 10: Ch Rainster Rory now, ccs at Hound show, IWS Ch show and LKA.
Jan 10 - Rainster Rory went from winning Junior at the IWS Ch show ( Sept) to BOS and Res BIS at the IWS Open show - congratulations.
Sept 09 - BOB for one of the boys on the " home team" and Rcc for our own Ruby.
Jan 09 - I saw nine of the litter in Derbyshire, all well grown confident puppies with long legs and a great credit to their owners. For once, have these on DVD rather than camera.

this little puppy is mine - Rainster Ruby pictured aged almost 8 weeks and above on my left. Maybe a little devil dog in the making, the Fauves are certainly in for a shock when we bring her home aged 10 weeks.

head study - 7 weeks of age
sunglasses required for most of them - very red brindle for sure!

" and the ribcage comes to...." - joking apart, how to tell a nice character very early on, these pups are so well socialised and handled already they trust themselves to you completely and dont panic freeze or wriggle for release. Great size already for not quite four weeks.
Some of the crew throwing themselves at the milk bar aged nearly 4 weeks.
Slightly too early to expect much by the way of posing - the puppies all have a great deal of bone and the nice feet from both sides of the family, as for the rest its " wait and see".
