Relatives and pictures

While the puppies busy at the milk bar, and I was checking emails a new post dropped in from Chris Howe who owns Alice's brother and nephew and he had owned Angus her sire. I'd asked him to write a little bit about the dogs and send some pictures for the blog. 

Picture
Chris writes, 'I have attached some pictures of Oban, Angus and Leth (son of Oban)
Angus was a fantastic dog a tireless worker and a real character he would never forget that maggot ridden rabbit or pheasant I had taken off him after what he considered a great retrieve and would climb barbed wire fences with ease up until 12 years of age to bring back to me what he thought I wanted – his trade mark was what we called "half smiles" he would greet you with  one side of his mouth curled up so much he had trouble breathing!

Picture
Oban (Alices brother) is his fathers double very very intelligent probably more so than Angus (gets it from his mother), a great escapologist, opens doors and lets himself in or out. His latest trick came about one evening after locking him out by mistake I saw a paw coming through a hole cut in a solid wooden door he was, with success, unlatching the door from the outside, again he is a good worker soft mouthed and quiet at the peg and has been very easy to train he just needs a little more experience and I will probably do his shooting dog certificate.

Picture
Leth (black) well what can I say only 12 weeks old he has been on this earth before, bold is not the word! Swimming etc and just trying to do all the things the "big boys" do which includes carrying a large stainless steel water bowl around after emptying it all over the kitchen floor by paddling in it with his two front paws!'
Chris.

Chris's boys. 

Now you have heard what Chris has had to say, you can depend on it that you will have an amazing little character.
Watch the doors, and be prepared to paddle! 
Alice also does the water bowl trick ... still! She always carries around dishes and pots she even steals them and quietly disappears! lol

One last look at the boys and girl for today.
