I’m back ! Sorry it’s been a while since I updated my page - for those of you contacting me about our Irish pups I can happily confirm we are pregnant - so as soon as I have paws on the floor & all are thriving I’ll post & let you know it’ll hopefully be early September & as if that weren’t enough in the words of Jeremy Clarkson ‘ we did a thing..’
The reason I started breeding IT’s originally all those years ago was because of the declining numbers of these beautiful dogs, thankfully whilst still not completely out of the woods the numbers are steadily rising which is thanks to people breeding but also all the wonderful people who own Irish terriers getting them out there as a visible presence & creating an interest in the breed. About 5 years ago I encountered my 1st Dandie Dinmont terrier who are still currently on the vunerable breeds list with only about 80 pups born in the UK every year & my heart melted after a great deal of thought & a Iot of help I decided to bring a little girl into our madhouse initially I was hoping to show …. Those of you who know me can stop laughing now but unfortunately my mentor has been diagnosed with a serious health issue & I’m not brave enough to go it alone ! so when Lubja came into season after completing the required eye tests we decided to attempt a mating & 11 weeks ago we successfully had our 1st litter - I would say that I find the Dandie pups a lot easier than the Irish devils but still with the terrier spirit mixed with a bit of stubborn defiance 🤣 we currently have 2 little boys remaining but as with the Irish I would urge everyone to do your research- Terriers are stubborn / fearless & often not for the faint hearted - their behaviour can often be challenging but you will struggle to find a more loyal or loving companion
