Sir Darnley's annual review 2004
At the beginning of the new year it is time for a review.
| At the years end and
between all the success we had to take care of two "problem children":
Sadly we had to say good bye to the leader of our Scottie family and a very special friend. Multi Ch. Sir Darnley's Gretna Green died on 02.12.04 at the age of 12,5 years. For us it was quite unexpected because she was totally fit until a week before she died. A mercy for her that she did not had to suffer. We will never forget this great Scottie character! |

Multi Ch. Sir Darnley's Gretna Green |
| Here Sir Darnley's Kilted Kate again is
looking quite saucy. We have her into care since November. That time she
was more dead than alive! In the meantime she has put on aound 1,5KG
weight and we at least hope that she will recover completely.
Among other problems she fights against an inflammation of the underjaw. A brave girl! |
|
| In 2004 there was no litter born in our
house. But our "O-sister" (born in November 2003) grew up in
spring.
Maybe some Scottie friends already know Orla und Olivia . Anyway we are really looking forward how their show carrier will develop! |
 |
Last year we have visited more shows than usual. But there have never been so many Sir Darnley's shown successfully as 2004. In 2003 Ch. Sir Darnley's Mylord Mortimer was the shooting star in our show team. Now it is his whole generation - consisting of all 3 litters out of Ch. Sir Darnley's Kiss-Curl Kylie!
The Highlights:

Sir Darnley's Kiss-Curl Kylie
herself. Best of breed on the German Scottie-Special from 68 Scotties were entered for judge and breed specialist Avril Herd (Kennel Feregait, Scotland). |

Mylord Mortimer (Owner: Helma van Wieringen), Olivia Offbeat Obsession and Mayson Montgomery (Owner: Fam. Horn). Sorry for all this enthusiasm! But for us 2004 was quite a succsessful year and of course I am very proud of our Scottie family. Again, special thanks for all the help go to Helma van Wieringen, Rolf Conrads and of course to Rainer. Without you this success would not have been possible! |

=>Here<= you find a chronic of all shows that we have visited in 2004 and =>here<= are all results according to each dog.
There are several show visits planned for 2005. We will already start at the end of January!
We also hope for our next litter probably the second half of the year. Sir Darnley's Nosy Nellie should then present our 5th generation.
To all Scottiefans I would like to wish heath and a lot of success in 2005 and of course lots of fun with my homepage!
