Fanny	Nana	Oliver
Happy	Blossom	Zorra
Zoe		Woody

Fanny was named after the film starred by Audrey Hepburn. Just like Audrey, Fanny has a  somewhat royal and frail, yet strong and determined look. She was destined to stay at home while Nana was to be our "show dog". She was lightly shown while young because she liked to lay down under the sun, so her coat had brown tinges. Also she is one of the few anorectic Bobtails I have heard of, so she never had much substance, as is required by the standard. Nevertheless, she gained two first places in the Puppy class, and one Best Junior in Group, as her movement is really very good.

She was the mother of the "C" litter and we kept her son, George (SeaLords Careless Whisper). They played all day long, as Bobtails do, so Fanny's coat was one inch long. With the untimely death of George, things calmed down and the coat had the chance to grow. We decided to show her again. In the first three shows she was entered, she received very good critiques but didn't gain first place because the judges felt the coat was not at its best. Then she gained a CAC and BOB and in the next three consecutive shows she gained 3 more CACs, 1 CACIB, 1 R/CACIB, 2 BOB, 1 BIG, 1 R/BIG and her Champion title! She made us very proud!
 
 

Nana was named after the big box hit of the 80's. This litter was linebred to Pelajilo dogs, so we really hoped to recover something from the past.

Nana is a sweet bitch. Nevertheless, she doesn't lead a very easy life because Fanny is constantly reminding her that she has a lower rank in the hierarchy. So she can't be petted as much as she deserves.

In the show ring she did well as a youngster, gaining two Best in Group. But she is definitely not of the Champion grain, nor is she very much of the maternal type. She would be a good agility dog if we had the time to train her as she is very agile (too much in some occasions ...). She is the mother of the "D" litter and she passed on her well angulated back quarters and sweet disposition.

If we are not playing ball, you will find her enjoying the pleasures of the sofa!
 
 

Happy was named this way because of her less-than-ideal body markings - and she really fits the name perfectly. She was the smallest but also the smartest of the "D" litter. With her low profile way of doing she manages to ilude Fanny's bossy ways. When lights go off, she jumps on the bed and she stays there all night long. She sure has a wonderful temperament. On the "minus" side - she's always hungry, and steals everything edible at her reach (and sometimes even what is not at her reach. Well, supposedly ...).
 
 

Named after a film with knights and all that magical stuff of medieval times, Oliver is the "man of the family". He was returned as a puppy because he would knock down the 2-year child of the family with his boisterous ways ... He is the living proof that OES puppies and small kids are not a good mixture!

When young, he loved to steal every toy he would find unattended. He particularly liked the furry ones and his favorite passtime was to pull their noses out (which eventually would reappear in his stools ... I'm glad it was not the eyes. Can you imagine, a dog dropping looking at you?) His eyes can melt anyone's heart. He is the sweetest dog we have ever had. "Velcro" dog sure describes Ollie well.

He is our second homebred Champion, and he finished his title by gaining the CAC at the World Dog Show 2001, which was a very big thrill !

Oliver is available for nice Bobtail ladies.
 
 

Blossom has a very sweet, yet mischievous look. By the way she jumps, one would say she has springs in her feet. She is a sort of Jekill and Hyde character - when she is alone, she is the sweetest girl you could imagine; with the other dogs, she is the most boisterous and the noisiest. She loves playing ball, though her true favourite passtime is chasing flying hair ...

Though she doesn't like shows she managed to finish her Champion title, which makes her our third Champion.
 
 

Zorra is one of the latest daughters of our Oliver. She has a truly wonderful character, and loves people. Her best pal, quite surprisingly, is Blossom, and the two are always finding some new funny things to do - in their opinion, of course ... 

Zoe is our youngest, and much wanted, litttle one. She is our first Old English Sheepdog - that is, she is the first one that is not a Bobtail, and has a beautiful, always wagging, tail. She has a wonderful character, very sweet and playful, though she is a bit noisy. She is also very smart. She is named after a film whose title I've always loved (the film itself is a little bit silly ...), starred by Meg Ryan (so, in fact, she should have been named Meggie, but my daughter mixed up the names ...)

Woody is our latest adition to the family. He has the compact body, the solid, wide rear and effortless movement that characterizes his line. Besides, he has the most wonderful character you could wish for. He's not much of the kind of begging for attention, but he's always following me. When I think of where he might be, I just look down at my feet, and there he is. OK, he seems to be always hungry and steels every bit of food he finds unattended (and also attended, but not much... ), but no one is perfect. We hope he will be a great asset for our breeding. He made friends easily with "Noisy" Zoe, who has not always taught him the right things ...

We deeply thank Martin Doherty (Auriga Kennels) for the trust he has put on us and for chosing us this wonderful dog.
