We are super proud of our beautiful Vala (Benoveor Truly to GwirGariad) today, she came first in a lovely Breed limit class in Bath Canine Society dog show today, and then went on to the challenge where she was considered for Challenge Certificate and Reserve Challenge Certificate, by Breed Judge Tina Smith. Thank you for thinking so highly of her, and for Adria's (GwirGariad Shooting Star) came 3rd out of a strong class of 6 in Post Graduate. We had a beautiful sunny day at our favourite dog show venue with some lovely results. Thank you to all who cheered us on, and congratulations to all who were in the cards.

If your pet loves exploring the garden, it’s worth knowing about some hazards.

- Pesticides and w**d killers can be highly toxic, so keep pets away when using them.
- Slug pellets should be stored securely and only used where pets and other wildlife can not reach them; they can be deadly if eaten.
- Compost bins, piles of leaves and grass cuttings can contain harmful bacteria and mould when they rot, so make sure you're clearing your garden waste into a secure bin.
- Grass seeds can become lodged in your pet's skin, ears or eyes. As they're so small, they can move through the body's tissues, causing your pet serious inflammation or infection.
- Lots of toxic flowers begin to bloom in spring. Keep these plants and bulbs in areas your pet can't access. Or, if you can, avoid them altogether.

Help us raise awareness by sharing 🐾

It’s adder season . All adder bites require urgent veterinary treatment, but your immediate actions, should the worst happen, can make all the difference to your dog's recovery.
​
Our Adder Pack provides you with all the info needed to administer first aid, designed by a vet .There is a ‘What To Do' guide help you through the period between the time of the bite and your arrival at the vets. Having one of these kits will give you reassurance when you are out on the sand dunes. Only a few vets stock the anti venom . Our friend Rhiannon who owns vets 4 pets in Penzance stocks it. Please share to make other dog owners aware that if their dog is unlucky to get bitten that is one place they can get treated asap every second counts

A dog that we had bred got bitten by an adder it was a race against time trying to find a vet that had the anti venom drug , the Owner had to travel miles to find a vet . Luckily his quick actions managed to save his dogs life
