GREAT
'GRETTE' with 6 GREETINGS for the New Year...... - 9th Jan 2012
GRETTE gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies
on Saturday 7th January'12 putting last year's problems to memory. Not the first puppies of 2012, that Brae
the Newfoundland edged us out again when she had 8 puppies on the 3rd January, but Grette's are arguably the cutest.
Our Special Thanks go to Liz & her 'team' at Flett & Carmichael, (Grette's
gynaecologists), for all the Special Care, Attention & TLC given to Grette, Jean & other interested parties...
The 3 boys & 3 girls are all looking beautifully healthy & keeping Mum busy, but she appears
to be thriving on all the attention.....

PUPPY UPDATE.....14th
Dec'11
Haggis's 6 healthy 'bruisers' are growing from strength to strength...
sadly her two smallest pups lost their fight.
On a Happier note, Grette has been confirmed as being in pup, & the
betting is on for her having the first puppies of 2012..... because of her difficulties last time, she is being
wrapped in cotton-wool & closely monitored.
HAGGIS
gives birth to 6 girls & 2 boys today- 5th Dec '11
DYLAN has been busy.....
Since the shows, Dylan has been a busy Border.... entertaining a number of 'ladies'..... including
'Haggis' a lovely bitch from Shetland, who has been confirmed to be awaiting the patter
of tiny paws.... an early Christmas present for her owner Catriona? Watch this space for further developments...12/11/2011
TOFFEE GOES SOUTH.....
I took TOFFEE (Cubbieroobu's Wyre Wind Lass), the last of TWIGGY'S pups, to her new home with
Maureen in Co Durham.... but not before she won 4th place in her puppy class at the Midland Counties Championship Show at
Stafford. The judge was very complimentary about her coat, & I was really delighted with the result, bearing in mind this
was her first show; the first show for a Cubbieroobu Border; & that she was only one place away from qualifying
for Crufts 2012....
A really brilliant Day. Maureen has more opportunity to enter other shows, & has told me she's
booked into a couple already... so watch this space..... Meanwhile, Toffee is settling into her new home with other Borders,
Pugs, & her personal body-guard, Bailey, a B I G German Shepherd..... 11/11/2011

DOUNBY & COUNTY SHOWS - 2011
Dylan had the honour of being on the front
cover of the Dounby 2011 Show Schedule. He was recognised wherever he went.....& it was a real pleasure talking to
so many folk about Border Terriers.....
He was awarded Reserve Best in Show, his 2010 title going to BRAE, a lovely
Newfoundland bitch, from Stromness.
Dylan & Brae were head to head again at the larger County Show, with
dogs entered from all over Orkney. Dylan won his Terrier Class - with 20 entries, (he was 3rd in 2010), & pipped
to Best in Show by Brae, yet again... We are certainly 'chuffed' at having achieved Reserve Best in Show
at both shows in 2011. With Gretta doing so well at the East Mainland it's been a good year all around.
As can be seen in the 2nd photo, Dylan appears to be eyeing Brae up..... & perhaps....pondering on 2012.....with
a number of Twiggy's Cubbieroobu pups possibly entering...- 1st September 2011

* We are sorry to announce that unfortunately, 'Grette' had complications during her
pregnancy & there will be no more Cubbieroo puppies this year *
12/7/2011
We are really pleased to say that each of Twiggy's
pups have found super new homes & their new 'owners' look happy with their pooches too .....
Four of the pups will remain in Orkney, with 'Toffee' going south to Co Durham later this year.
Good
Luck to Pat, Tommy & 'Maisie'; Erika & 'Eddy'; Hilary, Mark, Alice & 'Harvey' ,
& Jenny & 'Scratch'.
(18/6/2011)
Maisie, Eddy & Harvey have all
settled in well in their new homes.
