Hi Chris,
Well Megan was 2 years old or should I say young last week, I can't believe how quick the time has gone. I had a portrait painting of Meg and Cassie my last cocker done last year when we were down in St Ives. In my opinion its a masterpiece. Best wishes Colin.

Do you know, this little dog of mine never ceases to amaze me.
Today we were PAT-ing at Frenchay.
One of brothers of one of the mothers is off to Iraq next week with the RAF so as a good bye he "pinched" a helicopter from work and brought it to Frenchay for the children.
I thought we'd go and investigate....there were the children, the play specialists a couple of Mums and Muppet and I waiting on the helipad for it to arrive.
Off course the kids loved it but....so did Muppet!
I have no idea what sort of chopper it was but it was huge, one of the big ones for deploying the troops. it circled over us once and came into land. I picked Muppet up for a better view and she was nothing other than her usual Like a Star @ heaven self. She was like, mum what is this big noisy bird, what is it, can I get in it, this is fun isn't it?
I think the pilot was a little amused, we were so close we could see the colour of his socks! He was a little baffled at a dog so close to his helicopter. I know they use spaniels in Iraq for explosive work but a cute furry one at Frenchay is not something he was expecting.
So Muppet is bomb proof, no wriggling, no whining no nothing just pure excitement as her ears were blown back against the side of her head. She is the best.
Chris, I think on that puppy buyers sheet that they can tick off when the dog has seen a horse, a man in a hat, a bicycle, I think you need to add large monstrous helicopter!
As you know I am desperate for another small person and waiting patiently in the wings and although Powerscourters are the best of the best I know in my heart of hearts I will NEVER get another as perfect as my Mupps. Love you Beany.

Hi Chris
I was a bit apprehensive about taking on an older pup - but it has been the best decision ever and I'm happy to let everyone know this!
What can I say? Our beautiful little Daisy has become part of the family. She is adorable and we all love her little ways..... We get compliments on her good looks and lovely temperament where ever we go. She is in every way an exceptional little girl.
She is well behaved and easy to adapt to new things and routines. We have already been for a weekend away to Anglesey with her (our parents still live there). She travels well and is friendly (if initially cautious) with new people. But in no way timid.
She is good off the lead and comes back when called. We tend to exercise on common ground just round the corner from our house. She has play mates galore here..... and she holds her own with the boisterous young ones. All my dog walking friends admire her gentle and well behaved ways.
She would prefer to be with me ALL the time but we have stuck to our bed time routine and there is no fuss (by either of us now!) In her crate she goes and not a sound till morning.
I am thinking of taking us both to puppy classes in the New Year (more for me than her) as she picks everything up so quickly it will be fun to meet more dogs and learn new tricks. She has cottoned on to the "wet dog" routine, after her walk. Sitting on her towel and being dried off before we leave the hall. Lifting every paw in turn and then rolling over so I can do her tummy ! ;o)
Before I had Daisy and looking on your web site every new owner seemed to be saying the same thing. How remarkable and wonderful your dogs and puppies are. I more than agree and think we are very lucky to have found you and Daisy.
Have a great Christmas Chris and all at Powerscourt and thank you for letting us have Daisy.
Lots of Love
Julie and Daisy xxx

Hi Chris
I am sorry I have not been in touch for a while. Sulu is now coming up to his first birthday and I wanted to tell you what a joy he has brought to our lives. He is such a happy boy and always really busy looking for ways to play new tricks on us. He is a great traveller and loves going into water. He is never happier than when he is running in the mud and dirt. Unfortunately he is not quite so keen on bathing but he puts up with it. I will send you a photo soon so you can see how he is getting on. Many thanks for our boy. Luv Conny

Hi
We have Boo, Teddy's sister (Just One Kiss). She's a pleasure and she goes to dog training every week and loves cuddles. She's a proper family dog and she loves the beach and going in the car. Thank you so much.

Hi Chris Poppy is growing to be a lovely little girl, full of beans and so friendly. Everyone we meet asks where she came from and comment on her markings. She loves swimming - puddles, streams, ponds and the sea, there is no water that she will not dive into! A credit to you.. Regards and best wishes.

Hi Chris,
Can't say thank you enough for having Henry back while we are on holiday. His routine is exactly the same that you kept him to.
As for how he is - what can I say its fun and laughter with him every moment he is awake. He has settled in so well and we have had no problems with him at all, he goes for a walk with Graham in the morning down the lane behind our house we have also taken him around Church Stretton town for a walk as well, and he has now found his feet and chases the pheasants so that gives him more exercise.
Our son and daughter in law met him on Sunday and can't get over how he looks like our last cocker spaniel Buster. Our daughter is coming over on Friday as she is desperate to see him. He comes everywhere with us in the car and he travels so well - just lies down and goes to sleep. We can't thank you enough for letting us bring Henry home. We hadn't realised how empty the house was without a dog but now we have so much fun with him and his little ways which makes us smile. He is a real character and that is down to you and his upbringing.
If you would like to visit just phone and let us know it would be nice to see you again. We will keep in touch with you and let you know how he is going on. We are very blessed to have him in our lives so again thank you very much for letting us bring him home.
Hope to see you soon.
Love Marilyn Graham and the most important one in the family HENRY XX

Hello Chris,
Just to keep you up to date, Henry has settled in so well, sleeps all night in fact we have to wake him up to go out when we get up. He has such a sense of humour and he such a happy and contented dog.
Took him out yesterday for the day absolutely wonderful in the car and walked so well. We can never thank you enough for letting us carry on your good work and I am sure he will always be a credit to you.
Everywhere we went yesterday people asked could they say hello to him and asked where he came from. He enjoyed his walk around Pets at Home store in Shrewsbury. We will carry on the good work you have started, and keep in touch with you. We are so glad we found your site and even more that we found Henry.
Best wishes, Graham and Marilyn

Hi Chris,
Just thought I'd give you with a bit of an update on Fudge, after our first week.
Well, what can I say .................he's absolutely wonderful, more than we could have hoped for and a credit to you and your family.
We are so very, very happy with him and love him to bits. We have permanent smiles on our faces!
As you know, our only concerns were that he would be happy leaving his pack and the comfort of you and your home.
I can honestly say that we haven't seen a glimmer of stress or upset at any point during the week for any reason and I hope that is a comfort to you. It’s such a relief to us. He really does seem unfazed.
His favourite things are cuddles (of which he has an endless supply), hurtling up and down the garden at 100 miles an hour, and teenagers who equal more teenagers and more fuss!
He's been an absolute star at bed time. He sleeps in the hall/kitchen and doesn't mind not coming up stairs with us. Obviously the first night was strange for him but he didn’t bark or cry, just banged and scratched at the kitchen door, but from the second night on I can honestly say we haven’t heard a murmur from him and he's always clean to get up to in the morning.
I'll keep you posted, but please be assured he really couldn't be more loved and cared for.
Kindest regards and many thanks,
Sarah

Hi Chris
After returning from Cumbria today we went to collect Toby from Eileen the lady who looks after him when we go away. Eileen’s from Ireland and I mentioned Toby’s kennel name of Powerscourt. She was really interested in this as she runs a falconry centre at Powerscourt estate in Co. Wicklow. At the time I didn’t know the reason for your kennel prefix but have since found out from your web site about your time in Ireland. It’s a small world.
Eileen and her partner are really besotted with Toby, they say their dogs are “secondary modern” whilst Toby is an “Eton boy”. Not certain where he got the Eton manners from though – can’t be from us?!
Toby really has a wonderful character and everyone he meets adores him. He lights up our life.
Thank you again for letting us have such a little star.
Take care

Hi Chris, just a very late and belated Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you and yours! So sorry I haven't been in touch - Winter is always the most time consuming time of year for me with the horses and with Christmas as well (plus husband with flu) my feet don't seem to have touched the ground!
Well what can I say about Lulu!! She is an absolute dream and we are both so fortunate in having such an absolutely adorable little girl! I say "little" but in actual fact she is growing into quite a large cocker - I certainly have to keep an eye on her waistline - she could get fat on fresh air! She is the most wonderful dog - she has a temperament to die for - always merry and always so pleased with life! You could not get a better tempered dog. She has struck up a wonderful relationship with our little ginger cat and they are never happier than when they are on the settee with each other with Lulu chewing the cat's ears! Having said that she is no "pushover"!! She goes to dog training classes and although she knows what she should do if she feels she would rather play then you have the devil's own job with her! Not in a nasty way or a naughty way - she just thinks life if for playing!! Its a good job we are not keen gardeners as she is also very good at digging holes! She will come into her element in the Summer as we are planning an extension to the house - I am sure she will supervise the builders!
Anyway I just thought I would keep you posted and thank you once again for letting us have such a wonderful little dog!
Best Wishes to you all - Alison, Greville and Lulu
