Now that I’m in the New Year it is about time I set out my stall for ‘10.
Misty, White Mountain Queen, is coming home to be bred to Chris. If every thing goes according to plan her pups will be born just before her eighth birthday. Pete tried to breed her in October but she had no pups so let’s hope things will go according to plan. She is fairly regular so it should be doable.
The there’s Mistress Roxanne. With all the happenings with her last year she could break any time and if she does break before the end of January will  I or won’t I? I would like to get Roxy in form for Balmoral in August, if selected, but as far as pups are concerned this is the last throw of the dice and since I’m so pleased with Lucky I might just have to give it a go.
I’m aiming to have Chris and Basso in good form and well schooled with a view to making Chris up and qualifying, long overdue I hear you say, Basso for opens. It would be nice if Lucky made the Puppy Derby but I won’t beat myself up if he doesn’t.
There’s also the possibility of a new breed here at Glencuan but the time scale is very open-ended if I am to secure a working bred example of this breed. Watch this space.

Dogs at stud.

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he’ll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Dalton the Captain, Getty and O’Neile,
Lynch and Kieran-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb’red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;

Apologies to The Bard.
