What a handsome boy!
I received some lovely pictures from Anders of Cornelius out and about in the countryside.
What a handsome boy Cornelius is turning into.
He was such a gentle pup. A real gentleman.

No, we're not trick or treating!
Winnie and Aggie are not in the mood to trick or treat. They’ve just scoffed their dinner and are snoring it off.
Bernard and Tia are hiding in the dog room, keeping an eye out for any young tricksters in need of a good woof!

'Remember when we were pups?'
Great news from Ann-Britt today. Tilda did well again at a show down south. Ann-Britt writes:
Tilda hon blev BIRvalp med Hp och fick denne kritik:
“Supercharmig tikvalp,vackert huvud,utmärkta ögon , öron.
Vacker hals , bra rygg.
Härlig kropp , utmärkt benstomme ,bra vinklar , rör sig med fria lätta steg , trevligt temperament.”
As an added plus she got to meet up with her brother George (Caliban). Here’s a gorgeous shot of the two of them reacquainting themselves with each other.

Yes, definitely very cute!
Donna sent me some lovely pictures of Nelly and Dylan enjoying the autumn sunshine in the UK. Talk about two gorgeous hounds. Don’t you just love their colouring?
Nelly (left) is the latest Houndbay woof to step into the ring and she qualified for Crufts first time of showing. Dylan’s already a Crufts winner.

Now where did Emrik go?
Many thanks to Maria, Ove and Emrik for sending over news about Margrét’s favourite boy, Claudius from the C-litter.
The pup that was so very small has become a big boy now. I remember holding him in my hand just after he was born. He was so very tiny – but now look at him!
Claudius is doing very well on Gotland and seems to be enjoying himself mucking about with Piff (the cat) and Emrik, his best friends. What a lucky chap.

Cora takes a breather for a moment
I was so thrilled to receive pictures of Cora from Elsa today. My goodness, doesn’t my girl look like her mummy? I can’t believe how much she looks like Aggie.
...before zipping out for a little swim
Cora is so unlike Aggie when it comes to personality, from what Elsa says, because she loves to swim and tear around the farm. Agsie, as anyone who knows her will tell you, is probably the laziest basset there is.
It sounds to me like she picked up her playful nature from hanging out with Winnie and Tia before she moved south with Elsa. Now they’re two basset hound girls who love to romp around in the forest for hours.

I don't rush. I'm a basset!
As many of you will know, George was the apple of my eye from the C-litter. I loved him to absolute bits. However, I had to follow orders from the family as four bassets were taking up enough room and put him out on terms. Besides, I felt he needed all the love and attention he could get being on his own. It’s pretty hectic having four bassets and working full-time at the same time.
He’s been living with Jill and Marty for a while now and it’s great to hear he’s doing well. They’ve promised to carry on showing show him and having already done well as a pup at shows, he’ll be back on the circuit next year.
Thanks to Jill and Marty for taking care of my boy.

This is a must-watch video of Donna and Jon’s (Houndsbay) latest stars Nelly and George from Gertie’s litter earlier this year. Their father is Dylan is Aggie’s nephew.
Nelly came first in her first show in her age group, qualifying her for Crufts.

Yes, I do look like my daddy! I have his nose.
I was so incredibly happy to hear from Annette and Anders yesterday with news of Cornelius. It’s the first I’ve heard since the summer and one of my favourite boys is doing so well.
Just look at the wonderful pictures they sent. Doesn’t he look handsome? And in such great condition! It must be the Klass they are feeding him.
Cornelius will always have a special place in my heart because we went through quite a lot together when he was just two weeks old. What a sweetie, and probably the most gentle boy in the litter.
Yes, I'm just a lazy basset. But cute!

Tilda, getting more time in the ring
Veronica asked me to put this picture of Tilda up from the show the other week. I agree: she looks wonderful in this picture.
