We have had to say a heart breaking goodbye to Penny, Tedandi Penelope Pitstop. She fell asleep on her sofa on the 30th December. A girl in a million who we cannot imagine life without, and will never, ever forget. She left us with so many precious memories and an everlasting legacy in her wonderful progeny.
Happy bunny bashing Pen Pen, and we shall see you at the rainbow bridge. 
It with heavy hearts that Sharen & Jody Beck & myself have said goodbye to Edward (AUS CH Kilcavan T'Worlds Not Enuff) Tragically taken from us, but NEVER forgotten. He lives on in our memories and his wonderful offspring. He had the best life "down under"
Rest peacefully our special boy and we shall meet again at the Rainbow bridge

Lazy hounds after a hard day today - they even hitch a ride home!
We hope that as you visit our site you gain an insight into us, our dogs, and also to the breeds themselves. Our main breed is the wonderful Hamiltonstövare. We aim to produce hounds that are fit, healthy, happy tempered and conform to the breed standard. We breed infrequently and are very proud of our reputation, there is always a waiting list for our puppies. We aim that this site gives you a true and faithful account of us, and our dogs. We show primarily in the UK, we don't intend to over exaggerate our achievements and are proud that our dogs win at all levels in the UK, and with plenty of competition.
Our reputation & results speak for themselves.
Most importantly our dogs are our family, and all live in the house, not kennels, and are treated, spoilt & loved as such.
We are always happy to help and please do contact us if you have any questions, or for help and advice:
