Last month in a nutshell :o)

 I've sooo much news but so little time to get it on here so heres a condensed version for the time being.:o)

We've been to Italy, Ireland and France all in a month, talk about a whirlwind!!  When I was in Italy I decided, after a visit to the highly thought of Dell 'Adige Spinone kennel to  buy a beautiful little Brown Roan bitch pup to the UK to live with is.  She is called Italia and is now 5 months old.  My friends Irene and Keith who live near Limoges, France very kindly drove to Italy to weeks later to pick her up for me and we made the trip to their place to collect her from there.  It was 2 very long journeys for her but she took it all in her stride and has now settled in here amazingly well.  She's been well and truly accepted by the others and her and Dixie and now partners in crime and get up to all sorts of mischief together.

Italia when we met her with her breeder Maria Grazia Poli


She's now a fully skilled counter surfer (that didn't take her long)


All settled in



We went on her first training session with several friends and their Spinone and Bracco Italiano and she didn't let me down :o)  She loved every minute of it and was retrieving from water like a pro within 10 minutes - amazing !!  Thanks a million to Helen for this lovely picture of her first swim.
