Both pups did their first show together under the watchful eye of mummy Nova and daddy Rupert!
Both did really well (so did the parents!) but Buddy was the star of the day winning Best Puppy in Breed as well as a puppy Group 4!!!!
Here is a picture of the handsome buddy:

Sorry for not updating more regularly! 
We have had a very busy but lovely beginning of the year. Mirabelle makes us laugh everyday and we are always so happy to hear news from Buddy!

They cam from all over the world and it was such a great day.

We had such a great time and Nova looked the part. It is a tiring day for all and after a nice turkey neck, she collapsed in the c...
