9 months old

Grace came into season 3 days after she was 9 months old - turning into a grown up at last! Her mum, Lillevenn, has been working hard in 4 working tests with another one due on Saturday on an estate near Beaconsfield. Best place so far was joint 6th in a Southern Goldern Retriever Society Novice test. We had a baptism by fire in a test run by the Utility Gun Dog Club where she scored 4 zeros - ouch! She just needs more confidence with longer retrieves in water....there is always something to work on. Gracie SHOULD have taken part in a mini-training + test day last Sunday with our local SGRS but nature took its course ..... (that's the trouble with bitches)

Am a liitle late in publishing pictures of Juno (thank you Jane!) and delighted to have very up-to-date pictures of Tess (thank you Jane!). It is LOVELY to see how they are growing up.

And Gracie swimming her first few strokes (April 2012). She has such long legs she can spring up and down on them until the water gets really deep.
