Ann

Hello

My name is Ann and I have  been a member of the Club for 17 years when we bought our first family dog - a Golden Retriever called Megan.  When Megan was 5 we bought another Retriever puppy - Mollie and she also came to classes and often my daughter trained her. Mollie was an absolute dream to train as she was part working Retriever. We later had a litter of puppies from Mollie and kept a bitch - Ellie-May who also joined the club as soon as she was able to.  15 months later Mollie had another litter and we again kept a puppy - Sophie.  Both of these girls did extremely well at the Club and have achieved the Gold Award.

About 5 years ago now, I was asked to help out when trainers went away on holiday and unable to take their class.  From there I was also asked to join the Committee and 2 years ago I was approached to take the Puppy Class.  Initially, Liza from the Graduates Class helped me out - we had a great time working with all the lovely puppies in our classes.  But due to family commitments and the time involved in helping out etc, Liza stepped down last year and my daughter Kelly is now helping with the class.  In the Autumn term 2008, we will be taking a break from taking classes.  We were hoping that we would have another puppy in the household and wanted to be able to spend quality time in training her.  Unfortunately Ellie didn’t give us a show quality bitch in her litter this year so we are puppy-less but enjoying the break from the puppy training classes.   In January, we will be taking both puppy classes again - at 5.15pm & 5.45pm.

Kelly and I currently have 6 Golden Retrievers between us - Mollie, her 2 daughters, Ellie-May and Sophie, Mia from Sophie’s 2006 litter, (Tilly from Ellies first litter in March 2007 - sadly passed away in August 2008) and Maisie who is from Sophie’s litter also in March 2007.  Kelly also has Jaffa - a very handsome young man who is available to be used at stud for approved bitches only.  Maisie and Jaffa are in the Silver class and due to take their tests soon.  Mia is my third dog to achieve her Gold Award.

I am passionate about the health and welfare of all new puppies and am always available for you to discuss your puppy or help with finding you one.  I can offer advice on feeding as well as training issues etc.

In May 2009 I shall be taking a Bronze Class.  This is due to losing a trainer and having a re-shuffle.

In October I shall be returning to take the 2 Puppy Classes.
