The Cossacks are coming!

This is Reuben, the newest and youngest member of the Dolyhir Clan. His posh title is Materabern Russian Rumba and he came from way up North from a clan bred by a wonderful lady called Kathy. She has a few years experience of Bernese Mountain Dogs, some 25 years, including showing them, Reuben's mum Roxy qualified for Crufts, so we know he is going to be a star.

The logistics of getting him were massive, a 400 mile round trip, 2 bars of chocolate, a bottle of water, 2 rubbish takeaway burgers (wont say who made them but they were not the way I like them, the stale bun really didn't help the flavour, neither did the gallon of mayonnaise type sauce) a litre of pop, 2 cups of tea and a packet of soft mints later we were back at Rock HQ with our little Cossack. Tracey was so pleased she forgot the CD Police arrived halfway home and confiscated her boy band, chick flick soundtracks dirge and replaced it with Pink Floyd and AC/DC.

This little chap, say little and imagine a pup 8 weeks old weighing 23 pound, was so well behaved on the way home it was unreal. He sat quietly, slept, turned around, yawned and slept some more. Unlike the time I collected Reba who sang the whole journey. Neither did he do whats now known as a "Nessa" which is wait until safely in the car and once moving do a huge pooh and make a sculpture with it until your owner stops the car and tidies up.

No, he has been fantastic and is in the process of meeting the Clan. Here he is meeting the Clan Patriarch, Rocky, there was lots of tail wagging. Reba is a bit confused, she knows all the pups have gone yet ones here, so she keeps coming to tell us theres a puppy in the lounge. He has yet to meet the rest of the Clan, he would have but he had a pressing engagement with his dog blanket.
