2007: Godspeed Hanna
Our beloved rescued German shepherd Hanna had been
bravely fighting a liver disease for the past few months. She was unfortunately
feeling weaker by the day and we had to make the terrible decision to let her
go, for her sake. She died at home, with her head on Caroline's lap. Wherever
she is now, there is no more suffering.
She had been a great companion for
Venka and then a wonderful "nanny" for Venka's puppies at the beginning
of the year. She will always be in our heart. October
2007: Another successful club show for Spicemill
Our Scamp wins best novice
at the hovawart club show. We are also proud to reprt that Spicemill
Ginger, one of Venka's puppy, was awarded best hovawart puppy at this show.
Congratulations to her owner Christine for showing her as Ginger is a very spirited
young lady. But we're confident that this is the beginning of a successful show
career for the two of them. September
2007: First show for the Stig
The
Stig met his public for the first time at Richmond
Championship show. He did not disapoint us by behaving extremely well in the
ring and was awarded best hovawart puppy. Mum Venka did not do bad either as she
won reserve best bitch under breed specialist judge Julie Condron. September

Venka has started to receive calls out from the police through Kent
Search & Rescue. She has so far maintained Cantech
100% success rate with searches. July
2007: Fennel is back at Spicemill
Despite the big progress made by Fennel,
her temperament turned out not to be exactly what Canine Partners were looking
for so she did not quite pass her 6 months assessment and she is therefore back
with us. She is a lovely young black and gold bitch with basic training therefore
looking for a new home. If you are interested in becoming Fennel's new owner,
please contact us. She would be suited for
a working home or a pet home who would know how to keep her entertained. She loves
to fetch and to cuddle, but like all young hovies, she also need to be given boundaries.
