Baxter - Powerscourt Personality

rhudson8@yahoo.co.uk

We have had Baxter for a week now, although it feels as though he has been with us forever. What an angel he is, sleeps all night, toilets where he should and he is sooooo gorgeous and loving. He has snuggled and charmed his way into our hearts (didn't take much doing!) - we are all absolutely besotted by him. I thank my lucky stars each morning when I am greeted by Baxter - he is our own private little piece of heaven on four legs. Thank you so much Chris for putting your trust in us, and allowing Baxter to be part of our family, he is cherished every minute of every day by all of us. You couldn't have given him a better name as he is such a character with a huge and fantastic "Personality"!

Daisy (Powerscourt Petit Fleur)

suef22@hotmail.com

Daisy joined Georgie and I two weeks ago and she is an absolute treasure! Georgie, now 16 months, is also one of Chris’s dogs and is very special to me. They have settled in really well together and enjoying playing, especially in the garden where they are helping to keep the weeds down for me! Chris’s dogs have the most loving and gentle natures with a hint of mischievousness that is so charming. I am so pleased that Georgie now has a lovely little sister and in the short time Daisy has been with us she has brought sunshine into our lives and, like Georgie, makes me smile every day. Thank you Chris for letting me have another of your very special little dogs. Much love to you all from the three of us, Sue, Georgie and Daisy xxxxx


Elaine and Andy Harford

Powerscourt Patina 'Murphy'

HarfordA&E@aol.com

Chris, Murphy has been with us for just over a week now and it is hard to imagine life before we had him. He is so much a part of the family and has settled in so well. It is a thrill to be greeted by him first thing in the morning and on returning home. He loves a cuddle, loves to play with the children and is already beginning to 'sit', 'come' and 'leave'! He was a little anxious about being left at night to begin with and cried for a while, however, he has slept through the night for the third time now so hopefully he has adjusted to being apart from Bramble and his siblings, (he will even ask to go into his pen when he wants some peace and quite so that seems to have sorted itself out). It is hard to know who is more smitten, Andy, myself or the children. Even the cats are beginning to warm to him - who wouldn't? Thank you so much Chris for choosing us to be his new family. We love our beautiful boy so much and are so pleased to have found 'Powerscourt cockers'.


Hazel and John Amor

Powerscourt Precious Boy ' FLYNN'

Hazelamor63@msn.com

We are so very lucky Flynn joined our family on Friday and he is just wonderful he has settled in so well and is soooooooo good, already having our darling Dennis We thought we were blessed but to have two such wonderful boy's is beyond belief. thank-you so much Chris for allowing us to have not one but two of your beautiful boy's we will always be grateful to you for your friendship and your trust in us as being suitable parents we look forward to many happy times with our boy's Hazel and John xxxxxxxxxxxxxx


Danielle and Robert Hudson

Baxter

rhudson8@yahoo.co.uk

Today our family was made complete when we collected our beautiful new addition. Baxter is wonderful beyond our expectations - we fell instantly in love! We searched the country up and down until we found a good caring breeder who provided discerning "parents" with a fabulous, healthy, handsome pup bred with love and devotion - it had to be Chris and Powerscourt. Baxter settled into his new home very nicely finding his feet (and getting them under the table!!) quickly. We are thrilled to bits that were lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to be the proud new owners of a Powerscourt Cocker Spaniel!


Bev Morris

mbclsmorris@aol.com

Hello Chris, Sorry we haven't been in touch for a while, but I am sure you are being kept busy with all of those beautiful puppies, congratulations Bramble and Phoebe. Megan is well, still very much a puppy, making us all laugh with her comical personality, she is an absolute delight (most of the time!) Although nearly two years old, we cannot remember what it was like without her being part of our family. Thank you for letting us have one of these special puppies. Hope you are all well and keep up the brilliant web site which keeps us up to date with what is happening with you all.


Megan Fiveash

Isabella (Powerscourt Pandora)

m.fiveash@btopenworld.com

Isabella is an absolute delight. We have only had her for 3 weeks but she has settled in to our family life really well and is loved by everyone who meets her. She is happy, friendly, loving and gentle. Matthew, Alex and Dominic (8 5 and 3 yrs) adore her. She is developing a real little character. One of her favourite hobbies is to see how quickly she can take any clothes out of the washing machine as I am loading it! When Isabella had her first vaccination our vet said that she obviously came from a very good breeder and that she was a lovely 'baby' - we have no doubt he was right. Thank you Chris, your dedication and hard work with all your dogs and especially your 'babies' are wonderful and we are so very happy to have this little girl in our family - she is very much loved. Speak to you soon. Love Megan x


John Petley

Powerscourt Prussian Blue "Tara"

john_l_petley@hotmail.com

Tara's now 1 1/2 years old, but still very much still a puppy. She's a smashing dog, who one minute can be an angel, the next a monster, but nothing too naughty. She's best friends with our other cocker 'Cassie' and we're very lucky to have her. Lovely to see her brothers, sisters and cousins all doing well, keep up the good work Chris! Lots of love, John/Julie/Tara and Cassie


Vickie and Mike Ward

Powerscourt Pascal "Dexter"

We, also, were lucky enough to be chosen by Chris to have a Powerscourt puppy. If you read all advice on how to choose the best breeder for a happy, healthy companion dog, it would be a pretty good description of the wonderful work Chris does with the Powerscourt dogs. We have a darling puppy who had the best possible start to his life. Rather than choose ourselves, we relied on Chris' instinct and experience of puppy temperaments. She asked us about our general lifestyle and picked out the perfect pup for us - a clever and beautiful boy who meets all dogs, people, children with warmth and good manners. Fearless with new experiences and locations, never been sick in his many car journeys, and won an obedience rosette in his puppy class. Dexter is our delight. Thank you, Chris.


The Searles

'Oscar'

natalie.searle@lineone.net

Oscar is a gorgeous, friendly sweetie-pie! He can be a right rascal too, but we wouldn't have him any other way. There is a wonderful bond that has grown and I have been particularly impressed with his overall behaviour with our children (9, 7 and 3). He has been easier to train than I thought and although may persist with some behaviour does know when he is being a monkey so responds when reminded 'that isn't something you're allowed to do'! He is just like a child - lots of love, patience and consistency are paramount. Chris provided a very useful pack containing excellent information about a young puppy and I found the record sheets and socialisation tick list particularly helpful. Chris is also brilliant at being available at the end of the phone and what I haven't found in the pack I've been able to ask Chris directly. Everyone who has met Oscar has adored him and we love him to bits! Thank you Chris for letting us have him. He is a treasured part of our family.


Alison Reynolds

Spencer

DandAReynolds@aol.com

I have just been playing with my beautiful puppy and thought that it was about time I dropped you a line to let you know how he's getting on. He has grown so big and is full of energy and fun. He is just soooooo gorgeous I can't thank you enough. Spencer is so much one of the family we can't imagine life without him. he gets mauled about by the children, especially Georgie who is 3, and he doesn't even murmur. In fact if they sit down for a rest he jumps on them! I will get around to getting some more photos for you one of these days. Spencer has taken to sleeping on the children's trampoline, hopefully I will have a good shot of him there, he looks so lovely and cute. Anyway, thanks for your time, a commodity you don't have a lot of, no doubt! I just wanted to let you know that Spencer is absolutely fine and he is a very much loved puppy. Ali


Katherine and Dave

Harry Powerscourt Pacific Sunset

katherine.hickson@tesco.net

What a wonderful boy we have in Harry. He is the second dog we have from the Powerscourt clan, our first being Murphy who is a joy to own. Not a day goes by in which we don't have tremendous fun with both our boys, whether it be Murphy "singing" to a bad rendition of 'I can't live without you' or Harry making his presence felt by a good paw bashing!! Having owned these two boys we realise how blessed we our in having found Chris and thankful that she kindly allowed us to take them home. Chris' dogs are treasured and her love and devotion to them and her puppies is second to none. If you are searching for an ideal companion, who will follow you to the loo and who will steal your socks and pants you need look no further than a Powerscourt cocker!


Chris McIntyre

"Skye" / Powerscourt Pacific Blue

We had decided a Cocker Spaniel would be the ideal dog for us and companion for our five year old Golden Retriever. After much searching we came across the Powerscourt website, and are delighted that we did. We were immediately filled with confidence that we had found the right breeder with Chris, and are delighted with the outcome. Skye is a beautiful, happy and intelligent puppy, and is a very much loved member of our family. Chris is a smashing lady and all her dogs are a real credit to her. It was wonderful to meet them all when we visited Skye.


John Amor

"DENNIS"

My wife forgot to mention that Brian really does make a lovely cup of tea, and Len doesn't mind waiting for his evening meal, bless him. Emily and Georgie are good tutors at rough and tumble, and Dennis loves going back for a visit, (can't wait to see them all in their new home) xxxxx


Bekki and Craig Ballantyne

Powerscourt Pebbles "Murphy"

craig@home.fsnet.co.uk

After a chance meeting in Andover, we are now the very proud and lucky owners of Murphy. Can I really remember the "Hard" times of puppy owning - NO, especially with a Powerscourt puppy. Chris is a big help and always at the end of the phone even now 2.5 years on. If you are thinking of purchasing and are lucky enough to be accepted as prospective parents then grab the chance while you have it. You will never be that lucky again. Biased I know but then I do have a super dog, with a great temperament and who is in my every waking thought. Thanks Chris for my baby we will always be eternally grateful.


Vicki and Neil Kelsall

Powerscourt Priceless Second Chance "Roscoe"

Roscoe is the most wonderful chap we could ever have hoped for. He is outgoing and friendly, incredibly handsome and the most outstanding companion. We've made lots more friends since having him as everyone wants to meet him. Nothing seems to faze him - especially not bath time, which he has taken to with gusto and verve. Chris quite simply breeds the finest puppies all the way from nursing the mum-to-be through her "bump" to socialising and ensuring every Powerscourt puppy goes out into the world a balanced and confident dog. Roscoe is the light of our lives and we know just how lucky we are to have him. Thank you so much to Chris and the gang.


Margaret Armand Smith

Oneida One More Echelon - known as Portia

margaretarmandsmith@hotmail.com

Although I bred Portia myself I have to thank Chris for letting me use Toby (Powerscourt Higher Echelon) at Stud. Portia not only looks like her dad - handsome of course - she also has his wonderful temperament. Toby and my Rosie have given me the most delightful puppy. I know I am going to have a lot of fun with Portia and I count myself lucky to be able to call on Chris at any time if I need her help. See you at South Wales and Mon Cocker Spaniel Show next month. Love to all the family, two legged as well as four. Margaret


Sue Fletcher Georgie

suef22@hotmail.com

I am lucky enough to have one of Chris's dogs called Georgie who is 10 months old and the light of my life. She is a very loving and happy little dog with a delightful character. Everyone who meets her says how pretty she is and falls in love with her. Chris is a very special person who obviously adores her dogs and this is reflected in their happy, healthy and loving natures. She and her lovely family welcomed me into their home, on several occasions, to visit Georgie from an early age. Chris gave me a lot of her time and some very useful advice - nothing was too much trouble. I feel very lucky to have found Chris and allowed to have one of her special little dogs. Georgie and I will keep in touch and feel we have found an extended family. A special mention must also go to Chris's son Brian who makes a wonderful cup of tea ! Thank you Chris for my gift of Georgie, Lots of luv, Sue and Georgie xxx

Powerscourt Platinum "Victor"

hitch-cock@get2net.dk

Hi Chris Here comes some of our danish comments on "Victor" Han er en rigtig dejlig dreng og han bliver sikkert en stor stjerne. Hope you can read this, good luck. He is just the best.


Mrs Kerry Roger

Powerscourt Purple Empress "Molly"

kroger@sabancibank-guernsey.net

Dear Chris I just thought I would drop you a line to thank you so much for the wonderful gift of little Molly. She is full of character and is very loving. My 2 1/2 year old son can unintentionally get a bit rough when playing with her sometimes and bless her she just takes it from him and then jumps on him and gets her own back! She is very patient, well mannered and loving. This is of course down to your excellent breeding and their loving upbringing by yourself. I have in the past had a puppy that was not bought up in the breeder’s home and there is an astounding difference in the personalities. Thank you once again and I hope you continue to breed such adorable and loving puppies. Kerry Roger XX


John and Hazel Amor

Powerscourt Pure Blue " DENNIS "

hazelamor63@msn.com

We still can't believe how lucky we are to own a Powerscourt Dog. Dennis has a super temperament, and is a very handsome young man, everyone who meets him comments on his good looks and friendly nature. Chris' puppy rearing skills are second to none. When Dennis came to us at 8 weeks he was a happy, outgoing, loving young man and he just keeps getting better, when you become a Powerscourt puppy owner, you gain great friendship and support from Chris and her lovely family. Thank you Chris keep up the good work. John, Hazel and Dennis xxx


Janet Powell

Powerscourt Pebble Moon - "Louis"

jp247@cam.ac.uk

Louis is a beautiful little dog and a pleasure to own. He's very bright and easy to look after. Everyone who meets him comments on what a lovely puppy he is.


Karin Staaf

Powerscourt Pied Piper "Felix"

staaf@box303.swipnet.se

I am very pleased with my Felix. Not only is he a very nice looking dog, he also has a super temperament. He loves to play with puppies and they can do what they want with him :o) Thank you Chris for allowing me to have such a wonderful dog. Best Wishes Karin Kennel Backhill's in Sweden.
