Kennel Club update

The meeting for Recognition of the Barbet as a breed in the UK is being held today in London. This will be my third attempt for recognition. Let us hope for third time lucky.
We need to wait until the General committee meets on the 17th July, as they will be responsible for approving the decision made today.
So the next date in the diary will be the 23rd July as that is when we will hear the official result of the two meetings.

Rustic barbets

I have had an awful thought, I last groomed my 4 dogs before Ooli and Alba mated, and today I have read that she is on week 7 of pregnancy which means I should have my wrists slapped. My dogs probably think they have died and gone to heavon as 7 weeks + and no grooming is almost as good as being a short haired dog!. Tomorrow is already planned as we will be in Windsor to see the Queen (I hope) and so Sunday if its raining I will be doing 'extreme dog grooming', if its sunny I need to plant seeds at my allotment or we will have no veg this summer. I have to say my  very rustic barbets,( its a better way of saying neglected!) look rather good, but I also know that between the 4 of them I have an entire city garden lurking in their coats.
