Mansiya Wiccan Moon has arrived

My dream has come true! Kasha has come to live with us here in Cornwall I would like to thank my dear true friend Sarah Leigh for allowing us to have Kasha and also for allowing me to handle the handsome Darchy and the delightful Dixie we have had some wonderful wins and I will be forever grateful
I have heard rumours that now I have my puppy Sarah will find herself surplus to requirement and I will dump her and Darchy! well let me set the record straight
As long as Sarah will allow me to handle Darchy I will and would never consider giving him up!!! Sarah is a true friend and I am very fond of her I must say I am delighted that we are able to work together and long may this continue
I hope this puts everyones minds at rest and I am in a way touched that people felt the need to comment and be concerned about our reltionship
Darchy did us proud at Southern countries by winning Best Dog and BOS Mo also won her class as did Jacob
At Exeter we won Best of Breed and Best Puppy in Breed with Bandit and hound puppy group3
At Royal Cornwall show we won BPIB and Terrier puppy group 3 with Jacob who enjoyed his day out alone with his mummy and Bandit also won Best Of Breed and Best Puppy in Breed its always really nice to win locally and get our name in the local paper
