Photos and stories as Clementine's December 2009 litter of Basset Fauve de Bretagne puppies grows up.

Saturday

the easter report



todays photograph is of twiggy in her toy basket, rather a " spot the puppy in the toys" test piece!

our own magus has been discovered carrying a baby rabbit around, alive and unharmed fortunately. we dont know how he did it, whether he found for himself or more likely was given his bunny- toy by one of the elders to learn how to be a proper fauve. Bruce rescued this little one and we hope it survives in our neighbours acreage as it certainly wont on our side of the fence!

twiggy and uncle woody

puppies launched onto the world!

the babies are now in their new homes. Marzipan flew off this week, she is now living on an island in Norway sharing over 30 acres and a farmhouse with the whippets and wolfhounds of "Vetterli".She will get an opportunity later to use her nose and work towards her hunting qualification if she has an aptitude for it.

Aston has gone to follow Toffee, his great aunt who died last year, and is so popular the family are thinking of creating his own facebook account.


Rothko has taken over from the cats in his new home and is assisting his owner with child clients.He is a natural with children.

Zoe and Jon are yet to decide whether her name will be mini or manon but little "Mince Pie" will soon be spending her weeks in London and her weekends in the country with Bassets and Labradors.

The first puppy to leave home was Twiggy, uncle Woody has shown her around their Devon woodland and she has sorted out the dog and cat relationships nicely.

Our own little fella Magus ( easier to say than Melchior, his proper name) is about to go out on the lead for the first time and is another confident little chap. He has been adopted by his older half brother and sister and follows them around like their own little dog, which suits them fine.

I'll post up the favourite photos as they come in....
