Hi this is Benji looking for a new home. Very sweet 3 year old boy but had quite a bad start in life. Very frightened of children but seems fine with everyone else. Can be homed with other dogs but they would need to be calm. He is chipped and neutered. Please contact Chris on 01483 472823.

Eye Testing Clinic.

Hi Lesley, does anyone on the blog know which shows will be doing eye testing this year please. I need to get 2 of my dogs done.Thanks regards Julie Brooks

Thank you Julie I have not heard that the breed clubs are organising a clinic this year.  Keep your eye on the dog papers they usually have a  list of forthcoming clinics and there is usually eye testing  every day during Crufts. Notification of the testing sessions came through with passes on postal entries.

Midland Musings

It seems hardly believable we are on route to the end of January already! To me it is even more astounding to see Arthur and Erin grown so quickly into proper young bedlingtons, it seems not that long ago we were eagerly awaiting their arrival. On the other hand I wish they would grow out of the chewing stage, which malicious person told us keeping two from a litter was easy as they keep each other occupied, PARTNERS IN CRIME MORE LIKE! lol
The dreadful duo thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Stafford last week, taking it all in their stride. Erin treated it like a meet and greet occasion, making friends everywhere she went. It seemed the bigger the better, her 2 favourites being an Otterhound and a most gentlemanly Afghan who lay down so she could inspect him more closely. She also was most appreciative of the kind stall holders who had left bowls of their wares for her to sample. I think left to her own devices she would have stuffed herself silly!
Thankfully this winter has been so much kinder than the last, well so far at least. As the weeks roll by the chance of any serious coatings of the dreaded white stuff become more remote and the thoughts of spring become a happy reality. Jane xxx

Thank you Jane, I just love the photo of Erin and Arthur in the field. They look so alert something definitely attracted their attention!  I must say this winter has provided many dreary miserable days but it is a relief not to be surrounded by the white stuff. We live on an unclassified lane and couldn’t get the car out for several days last winter.
