🐾 Celebrating 58 Years of Dargle Dale Kennels 🐾
We’ve been caring for pets and their people for nearly six decades—and what an incredible journey it’s been! To mark this special milestone, we’re sharing some treasured old photos that capture the spirit of the “good old days,” when my mum, Irene Higgs, ran the kennels with her trademark dedication and grit.
Who remembers the days when Mum, Irene, was running the kennels? We’d love to hear your memories in the comments! 💚
✨ Highlights from the archives:
🐾 Mum with her trusty band-saw—she was the only one who used it to prepare meat and bones for the dogs.
🐾 One of Dad’s magnificent borzois galloping past the kennels, with the office peeking out in the background—taken 45 years ago!
🐾 The old road leading up to the kennels, alongside the original “passage” kennels, now transformed into warm, modern, 5-star accommodation.
These snapshots remind us of where we started and just how far we’ve come. Here’s to the memories, the milestones, and the many wagging tails that have made Dargle Dale so special over the past 58 years. 🐶✨
