Friends and Family
Some pets are really stressed when left at even the best Boarding Kennels my friends come to beautiful rural Hampshire
The dogs can lie curled up on a beanbag by the Aga, stretch out sun bathing on the lawn or under a shady tree. The back door stays open so that they can choose to be indoors or scamper around the large garden chasing everything from balls to butterflies. There is often a child or two to play with and always plenty of toys, tripe sticks or fresh marrow bones to choose from. Plus an adventure plkayground!
We own Papillons, Cavalier King Charles and Chinese Crested that live in the kitchen and are there to welcome everyone - VERY VERY LOUDLY.... ( sorry)
Depending on who is around at the time, the place resembles anything from a St Trinians College day trip led by Moss, to a Derby & Joan Convention or even (heaven forbid) a Club 18 - 30 Resort.. I also provide a taxi service for them to and from the seaside, the river or the Pub. This pklace is like a Country Club for Canines. Friends of the family often drop in on a sunny summers day to sit outside with the dogs and glass of wine...

from the home
but can expect various trips - for example to the Pub or the River or perhaps
just amble around the fields
I reserve the right to sleep and/or feed my doggie
guests in a
separate "indoor kennel" in the kitchen of necessary
All my little dogs are crated at night - there would be mayhem and carnage
every morning if I
didn't...
When you've arranged a time to drop off or collect your pet...
...please do your best to stick to it as other holiday dogs, for their own
safety, have to be kept indoors.
IS
YOUR DOG MICROCHIPPED?
Please notify your microchip company that your dog is with me during your
holiday. Not that I intend losing your dog... if someone accidentally leaves a
gate open we need to get your dog back HERE.
There would no point phoning your home number while you're away.
I am really very sorry but, due to almost being
lynched by the family on more than a few occasions,
I will be keeping my weekends, Bank
Holidays and evenings free of doggie
time constraints so....
no more pre-booking of times on these days for the collection or delivery of
pets. Phone on the day and see what our family schedule is like.
Senior Citizens (Marley and Jess) get extra fuss..
Who says show breds
can't get down and get dirty???

On the odd occasion that we manage to squeeze in a few days away.. I have a wonderful local lady that take care of my dogs. Mrs Nina Byles MBE can either move into the house full time or just help me out during the day. Nina is an International Show Judge, her greatest passion being Dalmations... although a little English Springer has recently taken up residence with her and husband Sim. Nina spent many years with Ted Edgar's show jumping yard so a big stroppy dog pulling on a lead is very easily managed. Nina used to travel all over the UK but no longer strays far from home...
Nina sits with sleepy Finty - glass of wine in hand.... This is definitely THE life!
And at the festive Yuletide???
Christmas Party - even the neighbours cats come over....
Spangle and Monty (two regulars) send their Christmas Card
