MY LOVE OF ANIMALS STARTED AS A CHILD,WITH MUM SHOWING SUZIE OUR FAMILY`S PET DOBERMAN,
SHE DID OK HOLDING HER OWN AND  GETTING PLACED,
BUT DECIDED IT WAS NO FUN IN THEM DAYS TRAILING ROUND WITH 3 KIDS IN TOE SO SHE DECIDED TO GIVE IT UP
 
IV LOVED DALMATIANS EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD,
WHEN EVER ASKED WHAT BREED I LIKED THE BEST IT WOULD ALWAYS COME BACK TO THE DAL,
I DECIDED WHEN I WAS OLDER I WOULD GET MY OWN!!!
 
MANY MANY YEARS LATER WHEN WE WERE ALL GROWN UP, I STILL HAD A LOVE FOR ANIMALS BIG OR SMALL
AT THE AGE OF 14,I STARTED TO HELP OUT AT A RIDDING SCHOOL AND HOPED I COULD PROVE HOW KEEN I WAS,
AFTER A VERY LONG SUMMER DOING ALL SORTS OF JOBS GROMING MUCKING OUT LEADING HORSES OUT ON HACKS,
ON THE CHANCE OF A 10MIN RIDE AT THE END OF A WEEK,
I HAD PROVED TO MY PARENTS I WAS COMMITED,
FOR MY 15TH BIRTHDAY I GOT COPPER WHO WAS MY FAVOURITE COB IN THE RIDDING SCHOOL WHO I HAD STRUCK UP A GOOD FRIENDSHIP, AS THE YEARS WENT ON AND A FEW MORE HORSES,
I GOT INTO 1 DAY EVENTING,AND WE HAD OUR OWN LIVERY YARD,
 
WE STILL HAD DOGS BUT WERE MOSTLY RESCUE,AS WE HELPED OUT THE LOCAL SHELTER
WHEN THEY WERE FULL OR HAD DOGS THAT HAD BEEN THEIR WAY TO LONG
AND USUALY WITH IN A WEEK OR 2 OF BEEING WITH US THEY WOULD GET HOMED,
THEY ALWAYS HAD FREE RAIN WITH OUR OWN DOGS.
 
AS WITH ALL ANIMALS THE HORSES GOT OLDER,
I PARTED WITH THE LIVERY YARD AND DECIDED TO CONCENTRATE ON MY OWN ANIMALS,
MUM DECIDED WE ADD HAD OUR DREAMS AND WAS THINKING OF GETTING BACK INTO SHOWING,
I WAS DOING OBEDIANCE WITH 2 RESCUED BORDER COLLIES AND WAS DOING QUIET WELL WINNING OUT OF MY CLASSES,
 
THEN ONE DAY MY SISTER RANG TO SAY HER FRIEND WHO HAD A DALMATIAN BITCH
 HAD JUST WHELPED A LITTER AND WOULD I LIKE TO GO WITH HER TO SEE THEM,
I HADNT SEEN DAL PUPS BEFORE SO I WAS RATHER OVER WHELMED WITH ALL THESE SPOTS AS THEIR WAS 14 IN THE LITTER,
 I FELL IN LOVE WITH A LITTLE BLACK SPOTTED BOY,BUT UNFORTUNATLY I COULDN`T HAVE HIM DUE TO NO MONEY SO MY FIRST DALL WAS SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY,
 
SOME WEEKS LATER I GOT A CALL TO SAY THAT THE LITTLE DOG I LIKED WAS STILL AVAILABLE AND WOULD I LIKE HIM,
LUCKY FOR ME I HAD JUST SOLD A SADDLE
AND OF I WENT TO COLLECT MY 10WEEK OLD SPOTTY I WAS SO EXCITED THAT I WAS FINALY GETTING MY DREAM PUPPY
WE NAMED HIM TYLER ( KENYEE CANADA)
 
I PLANNED TO GO TO A FEW SHOWS WITH MUM AND HER ROUGH COLLIE ICE
AND WE LIMITED IT TO A 100 MILE RADIAS LOL,
AT OUR 3RD SHOW WE WON BEST PUPPY IN SHOW UNDER MR JACK BISPHAM WE HADNT REALISED WHAT THIS MENT BEEN A NEWBIE LOL,
SINCE THEN THINGS OF GONE FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH,WE ALLOWED HIM TO BE USED AT STUD,
WHEN GOING TO SEE THE LITTER MUM SAID NO MORE,
BY THE TIME WE GOT THEIR THE OWNER HAD BEEN FEEDING THEM ON CHICKEN SOUP,
MUM TOOK ONE LOOK SAID CHOOSE A PUPPY AND WERE GOING,
THEIR WAS NO WAY WE COULD LEAVE WITH OUT HELPING AT LEAST 1,
HE ONLY WEIGHED 1.5LB HAD A VERY BAD WATER INFECTION AND WAS VERY WEEK,
THE VET SAID WE HAD DONE THE RIGHT THING GETTING HIM OUT OF THEIR AT 6WEEKS AS HE MAY  NOT OF MADE IT,
WE MANAGED TO LET PEOPLE NO ABOUT THE REST OF THE LITTER AND GET THEM HOMES, WE DOUBLED HIS WEIGHT WITH IN A WEEK AND ALL WAS GOING WELL, WE DECIDED TO KEEP THIS LITTLE FELLOW AND WE CALLED HIM DECK ( CHARMING FIREFLY SHCM) HE WAS THE MOST SWEETEST LOYAL DOG YOU COULD ASK FOR ALWAYS A SMILE FOR EVERYONE HE MET,
WE THEN HAD THE CHANCE OF GETTING A LIVER BITCH WHO WAS OUT OF THE WELL KNOWN SALSUSA BLACK JACK,UNFORTUNALTY SHE HAD A SCARE IN THE RING WHEN SHE WAS A JUNIOR AND DIDNT LIKE SHOWING SO WE DECIDED NOT TO TAKE HER OUT, FEW YEARS LATER WE HAD A LITTER FROM HER WITH DECK AND WE WERE BLESSED WITH 11 HEALTHY PUPPIES WHICH WE KEPT SKYE ( SHULUNE DOUBLE FANTASAY)
 
IF IT WASNT FOR THESE 3 DOGS I WOULD NOT BE WARE I AM TODAY
 AND I WILL ALWAYS BE GREATFUL TO THEM,
I NOW HAVE 4 GENERATIONS AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WHAT THE FUTURE BRINGS
