Everyone is ready to swim!

More and more we are seeing puppies with congenital joint problems. Sadly some of these have come from breeders who claim to be registered. The good news is, if the condition is diagnosed early and therapy is started the prognosis is encouraging.

R.I.P Ronin
Ronin, one of Angela's family of Shepard's, passed away last week very suddenly, shortly after being diagnosed with Biliary. His whole family miss him sorely.



A lot of new puppies are coming in for swimming lessons,
There is Presley, the 9 month old Ridgeback.
