The photogenic Cody !

We are very proud of Cody aka Harlistream Wyoming Ranger (Withybed New Yorker at Harlistream x Gemswin Eternal Flame at Harlistream), he is owned and loved by Linda and Geoff Wakeley. Cody was photographed for a book about the resident dogs of Hayling Island, we are very proud of our photogenic boy. He is not just a pretty face, he also goes out shooting with Geoff, such a talented boy (must come from the grandparents!)

Snow Time !

Well the snow is finally here in Hampshire, so everything has come to a stand still. The dogs LOVE it, especially Dime who is thoroughly intrigued by it.

Dime's first puppy training class

Tonight Dime attended his first puppy training class, the class was taken by Clandrift breeder Viv Bowen, and Flatcoats were definitely a theme! In attendance were Dime's sister's Atti and Oaka, and brother Mac, the Flatcoats took the class by storm! Dime was a little star, and had a great time playing with his litter mates, and seeing other puppies, he found Viv's older Flatcoat Broccoli rather fun to play with ! He's flat out now, storing up energy ready for next week !
