Roytan Gun Dogs

Good news for Kate Morris is that her “Killarney” pup “Sophie” has tested Optigen PRA Clear. A good result from a 50/50 chance, as although Dad is obviously clear, Killarney herself is a carrier.

Not quite so lucky for Linda Wilcockson as her “Esme” daughter  has come back same as mum, carrier.

The brilliant thing is the knowledge that there need never again be pups destined to go blind with PRA, as long as the carriers are bred to clear mates.

Proud owner Stephanie Binns reports that at 6 months old, Roytan Mr Bennet (aka “Ben”)  passed his KC Puppy Assessment on January 28th 2010. Well done both of you…Darcy will be proud too!

All being well AGG will be back to normal training tomorrow Saturday January 16th.!

Whilst the weather is so unreliable would anyone hoping to come to gundog training please ring in before making the journey. The number is on your welcome pack. Thank you.

Lovely Beshlie gave birth to her puppies last night. 1 girl and 4 boys . All Ok at the moment but I am bottle feeding a tiny boy who will not drink, so very early days, but fingers crossed as always.

On Saturday night October 24th, Fenner whelped and has 9 wonderful puppies. She has 6 daughters and 3 sons and pleased to say all doing well. Dad is proud “Deeds”

All too soon I have said yet another goodbye. Bailey went to sleep this morning and I have put just some of the pictures up that will stay with me forever.

It almost seems wrong to put up happy news so soon but as I have put in Murrays post, this is what it is all about. So the happy news is that one of Rula’s first litter from 4 years ago has just won his Stud Book No at the Kennel Club by coming 1st in Limit Dog at the Gundog Society of  Wales Championship Show yesterday. Proud owner Kerry Brown has tried hard all these years and  it all came right for her with her lovely “Gus” aka Roytan Place Your Bet. Congratulations on qualifying for Crufts for life!

I said goodbye to Seven yesterday and it leaves a gaping hole for little Halley to fill. Roytan Aurora Borealis may you shine bright in the heavens. I miss you.

On Wednesday night , October 7th, Rula  presented us with her third and final litter by Mozses. She has 5 girls and 2 boys and pleased to say that both mum and pups are doing well.
