Finally we have been able to get a name accepted by the Kennel Club for our puppies. Henceforth they will have the prefix
Dolyhir, so here are three of the pups,
Dolyhir Peaceful Bliss (Bliss) hiding under the
sun lounger, almost hidden from view is
Dolyhir Harvest Moon (Flash) whilst centre stage is
Dolyhir Winter Storm (Spot), and below we have
Dolyhir Winter Sunset (Fish)
Its taken an age to get a name, our first one
Hanter was rejected as it was too similar to
Annter. There followed an appeal where I challenged the
KC's inability to pronounce the Queen's English but the
chav's won so we chose
Hergest. Unlucky, already taken, how about
Pencraig? No
that's already a kennel, we made up
BrynTeg but apparently someone else had also made that word up, by now tempers were fraying and we submitted
Dolyhir. The KC sulked for a few days after my
chav tirade until the relented this afternoon and let us have
Dolyhir.
I
don't expect the new owners to use the registered names that have taken an age to choose, we
didn't. Here you can see Tracey sat next to
Mattertal Officer Jungfrau aka Rocky and
Lostwithel Sherbet Lemon or Reba as we know her. Names that are much easier to yell across the garden I'm sure you will agree!

Hi Tony,
I found your column on the Worcester News site, and it would be great to have a quick chat with you. I am researching a series for Channel 4 about new smallholders - people who are just starting out. We are currently looking for people in this situation to appear in the series, and I was wondering if I could pick your brains, as I am sure you are contacted by new inexperienced smallholders all the time, looking for advice!
Would you have a spare five minutes for a quick chat? It would be great to tell you a bit more about the series. You can reach me on 020 7907 0868 and I will call you straight back, or email me on jo.bartlett@betty.co.uk and let me know your number and a good time to call, and I can call you direct.
Hoping you can help,
many thanks,
Jo Bartlett.
