Dogs in 2011


George pauses with the cascades of Sour Milk Gill behind him during an ascent of Base Brown in the Lake District


George descending Aaron Slack to Styhead Tarn in the Lake District


A rather worried Ellie, having somehow got herself into this side-stream behind Stephen's back during a walk along the River Gipping


George on his 9th birthday, towards the end of a 23-mile walk on the North Downs Way, his longest yet.


Ellie showing off her latest rosettes, including her first rally obedience Level 1 Title rosette


A fluffy George on the Ridgeway, descending into the Thames valley


A rather less clean George showing evidence of his explorations on Steel Fell in the Lake District


Hetty at 11 months old


Hetty showing off her new rally rosettes - a class Ace score, her new Puppy Title, and her overall 7th place ranking for the year's competitions


Ellie's older son Winston finally gains his second major, in great style by beating the Crufts 2009 BOB among many other lovely dogs, and becomes
 AKC Ch Luphenex Land A Victory RN!


George enjoys a gallop in the woods near West Harling Heath on the Suffolk/Norfolk border


Our family, plus Millie, a temporary houseguest


Enjoying the sunshine - almost too much, in Hetty's case!


Ellie working beautifully at another rally trial


And Hetty doing her bonus recall exercise


Lucy and Ellie, proudly showing off their rosette - Ellie has just become the first Cavalier in the UK to gain a Rally Championship!


George, Ellie and Hetty at the end of the Peddars Way, where it meets the Norfolk Coast Path. Stephen started that walk with George, Ellie and Henry. What Hetty lacks in show potential compared to our departed Henry, she attempts to make up for with character.
