Welcome to 2024, by the time that this is in print we will be starting February. Where does that time go. My new employment has a wide range of hours, often seeing me away from home for up to 50+ hours at a time. This is a huge shout out to mine and all the…

Welcome Canaan friends and followers. It isn’t easy to ignore the awful, tragic events in Israel and surrounding areas. Our beautiful breed’s homeland is in turmoil again but without being political, we pray for a swift solution to the violence and that our friends and their families can be spared loss. On more peaceful subjects….

Welcome to a wet and windy weekend, thankfully in the South East we are slightly sheltered and hope that all in other areas are surviving. Today the sun shone and we were able to enjoy a Sunday walk in local woods. Always thankful for the area we live in. Following on from the previous notes,…

Apologies for these notes not being sent – I had written them back at the end of Aug and not sent them; I will put it down to the gentle decline in my faculties as the years go by…. Previously we had been entered into Windsor in AVNSC but having exhibited my sisters Gundog the…

Previously we had been entered into Windsor in AVNSC but having exhibited my sisters Gundog the day before and been parked on the M25 for 5 hours, by the time we got home, I’m afraid that there was no more energy for the Utility Day. Again, apologies to the Judge. We did however make it…

Well of all the deadlines for me to make, it’s an early one for the Bank Holiday. Possibly as I’m being spoilt in the French countryside, with warm winds, daily temperatures of 34 and plenty of opportunities to catch up with overdue breed notes.

Greetings to all readers, when I go to my hard drive and select the last notes to carry on and write the next instalment, sometimes I am shocked at how long it is since I last put ‘pen to paper’ – apologies as it is one of those times. I guess I should start with…

Hurrah, today I’m writing these from a super sunny south east and more sunshine is forecast. Ideal for getting our new puppy out and about ready for his first show in May. We have been so blessed with this litter; they have all gone to some super families. Some are first time Canaan owners and…

Greetings to all and I must start with a correction, Mrs E Minto emailed to say that I had accidentally swapped her dogs around in the final results, that I listed for Crufts this year. Instead of Best Bitch and Best Puppy being Anacan We Got The Power it should have been Anacan Rock My…
