See how they grow

Here is a lovely pic of Misha looking splendid and getting better after her recent operation so we are hoping to see her and her owners at the 2015 Treasure Hunt if not sooner!

Er...Excuse me...

Cooling off

Spotty having a cooling dip in the river. We have a number of hot dogs, they all have different ways of cooling off. Watch this space for others!

Messing about in our backyard

Spotty, over the top as usual.

No stick gets left behind!

 Oh no! Its wounded, we have to do something!

 Look! We can't leave it, I know what I'm doing!

 Carefully does it, its in a bad way.

 I got it.

 Right lets go

every second counts!

From JesseJ's mom

I'm gonna get flattened on that day by Berners!

No pictures

Camera shy. Never mind lets look at the dogs :)

Chill out time

More pics from the Dolyhir 2014 Treasure Hunt

 Lots more pics have arrived, these all thanks to Sonja who arrived some time after the start having done a circuit of the Bonsai Mountain looking for us, us being over in the land of the Stable Sprite a valley away.

 Here are her lovely dogs, two Great Swiss and Elsa, former girlfriend of Rocky.

 Chilling out, treasure hunters awaiting results, Clare in the tent with some very fetching Berner portraits.

 The furthest travelled, the Northern Contingent take 5.

 Captive audience, a sharp rain shower keeps everyone in, except those lucky enough to have found alternative shelter by the pig roast.

Yours truly thanking everyone for their support.

Same but different

Same girl as yesterdays pic but a bit older, Reuby from the Northern Contingent in a half banzai!

Looking back

Ruby from the Northern Contingent in 2012. 100% cute

Back for medals

The wanderer returns!

Somethings missing!

Rocky in the show ring at the clan gathering. Or rather, Rocky no longer in the ring at the clan gathering!

Life's a bit of a drag

Oliver dragging Nick around the ring, or vice versa, depending on your point of view!

Best in show

 Not best in show but Rocky got a 4th, but crashing his photo is Ritchie who was a star and wowed everyone with his calm friendly manner.

 Lots of dogs to choose from but we did end up with some extra special winners.

From the right, Buddy 1st, Lunar 2nd and Mr Bo Jangles 3rd. Fine dogs, happy owners, Thanks to Wagg for the prizes.

A grand day out

 The 2014 treasure hunt was a great success.

 The Northern Clan members lounging around after a yomp across the hills and a few pork rolls.

The Clan founders, Rocky and Reba await their lift home.

Full report to follow, lots and lots of brilliant photos to appear over the next few days/weeks. Thanks to all those who put so much effort in to making it such a grand day out. See you at the next one!
