Breeds
Rita is one of my Bouviers. She is large with a forbidding beard and moustache which is typical of the Bouvier Des Flandres breed. Also typical of the breed is that you generally do not find any shy or subservient Bouviers as you may find with other breeds. The Bouvier is a breed which loves […]

At this time of the year, several of my overseas friends send me pix. and also Xmas and New Year Greetings. Below are some pix. I recently received. The above pix. came from my friend Felipe and his wife in Columbia. I have corresponded with them for quite a while now after they lost a […]
Rhapsody, Rita and Savoy enjoyed themselves at the B’dos. Kennel Club’s All Breeds Championship Dog show which was held on November 29th with UK judge Jeff Luscott. The show was sponsored by Hanschell, Inniss Ltd. who are the local agents for Pedigree. I visited the Pedigree booth and Wayne, Selwyn and Richard were introduced to […]
Artificial insemination, both chilled and frozen, is very successfully done with canines all over the world. However, the litter of Rhodesian Ridgebacks born about 11 weeks ago and owned by Sarah Hamilton of Crownridge Kennels made history here in Barbados as it was the first Barbados Kennel Club registered litter of puppies born through the […]

A couple of reasons for this. The chief trainers in Barbados from the Barbados Dog Training Club […]
Oscar, one of Rick Lois’ and Jovi’s puppies, went at 9 weeks to live in Grenada. His owner keeps in good touch and we exchange pix. of Oscar and his family in Grenada with his family in Barbados. Today’s e-mail included pix. of Oscar who is receiving training in protection. As a puppy he was […]
While we in Barbados may be struggling to get the “rescue” dog to socialise without being afraid of humans, or the mixed or pedigree dogs to obey simple commands like “sit”, “down”, “come” or a dog to stack in a show ring, here’s a video which shows the heights a trainer can achieve. Of course, […]
It’s getting time for Rita to do obedience trials. She is on the open (CDX) class and does some of the new exercises fairly well. But she is still not carrying the dumb bell so unless she suddenly gets going with that, I am going to aim just for the “C” leg of the CD. […]
