pup update

All the Merlin/Tainn puppies have now gone to their new homes apart from Faolan who is staying here. (FAOLAN is Gaelic for 'Little Wolf')

The characters of the puppies are wonderful. Two have gone to working trial homes, two to agility homes and one to obedience.

I have had a lovely eight weeks with the pups, Tainn was a wonderful mum, and now we are back to near normality, just the addition of livewire Faolan who is fast becoming best friends with Odinn.

Faolan 14 weeks

Faolan has started puppyschool which he thinks is great fun. He is very sociable and loves other dogs and people.
He is also training at Janet Martineau's puppy class.
he and Odinn spend many hours playing together and are great friends.
Learning 'recall' at 13 weeks.

Growing up!!

Faolan is now 5 months old and growing into a lovely boy with a strong, sensible temperament. He seems to be unfazed by anything and is friendly and outgoing.
I am hoping he will follow in his dad's footsteps and be an assitance dog for me. He is already trying to take my socks off but at present is nearly removing my toes as well!!!

update

Well, Faolan will be one year old tomorrow, where have the months gone??

he is a fabulous character and reminds me so much of his dad.

He will be starting agility training in September and is already doing small jumps and contact equipment in the garden.

he and Odinn are great friends and partners in crime!!

Merlin and Son!

Merlin is teaching his son well and Faolan is starting to pick up my sticks, though he doesn't always bring them to me!!!

They get on well together.
