Happy Second Birthday!

Today marks the Shakespeare litter's second birthday. So I thought I should share a post dedicated to all of them, with a little note about their progress.

Otto

Above is Otto. He usually looks like this:

But his pawrents have recently opted for a short practical haircut - something they refer to as 'The Corona Cut'. Having had a fuzzy face for 2 years now, I couldn't believe how pretty he was when it was clipped off. He really is a beauty!
Otto lives in Hertfordshire with his family and is gun dog trained. He enjoys long walks with his canine friends, absolutely loves his red ball (see video) and he is hoping to have a little sister from Edna's next litter.

Ozzie

This funny guy is Ozzie. Ozzie lives in Hampshire with his pawrents, another standard called Freddie and a dear old miniature called Wizzie.

Ozzie can often be found in Wizzie's bed - if squeezing yourself into small places was an Olympic sport, he'd be a winner!

Ozzie and his mum recently discovered scent work and he is excelling at this and has shown real drive for it.

Ozzie's mum is also the director of Soopdraggon Design and handmakes lovely enrichment toys and biothane leads, collars etc.

Archie         

'Just sniff testing it, honest!'

Archie is our local lad and we just love having him nearby. He lives just 6 miles away and I still groom him occasionally.
Archie is a loveable rogue. His favourite hobby is chasing bicycles 😂 he was always one of the cheekiest pups and that still rings true today.
Archie is also incredibly cuddly and loving and he has a Teddy bear he takes to bed with him every night, which just melts my heart.

Archie the comedian

Lenny

Lovely Lenny lives in Milton Keynes and is a much loved family pet.

He is doing agility for fun and his owner tells me he can jump 3ft from a standstill!

Lenny always looks groomed to perfection and is a very smart boy!

Lenny lives with some chickens and an older dog.

Sawa

This regal girl lives in Essex with a human family of 4 children to keep her busy. She is a real lady and her owners refer to her as 'Her Majesty' which I love.

Sawa is a bilingual dog - who understands both Polish and English and she enjoys long walks with her family. 

Here she is playing chase with her human siblings, she is definately built for speed!

Winston

Winnie is living in Wales with two other dogs - another beautiful standard called Mira and a black lab called Bongo. He also has a human sister; a four year old from whom he is inseparable!

Like Ozzie, Winston has also recently discovered scent classes which he is thoroughly enjoying and has been on several mantrailling days too.

 Peggy

Peggy is the puppy I kept and the last two years with her have just been a whirlwind!
She is a funny girl, very quirky and insists on resting her paw in my hand when we watch television in the evenings.
Peggy has already got a Crufts win under her belt and has done some filmwork for Sainsbury's bank, she also has some upcoming modelling work booked for later this year too.
Peggy is great with crowds, with people and with other dogs too. Working Peggy and relaxed Peggy are like two different dogs though and when we walk she really likes to let off steam and just run and run. She loves our walks on Dartmoor and really is a special dog.
