If you've seen the website at http://www.dalraddycottage.com/ you'll already be familiar with our German Shepherd Dogs, Millie, Portia and Jovi. Well on 20th December we had a new arrival "Amber" born on 25th October 2009. She has settled in well at Pottal Pool and Dalraddy, teasing the life out of the older dogs and trying to push them a little further each time! Millie the oldest and matriarch of the "pack" keeps out of the way most of the time unless she needs to step in to give correction to Amber or the others. Portia the second oldest has sulked on a daily basis since Amber arrived - she treats her with disdain as though she is above playing with a puppy. Jovi the youngest til now has surprised everyone and although previously a very shy nervous dog, she has taken Amber under her wing and never seems to tire of playing and play-fighting with her.
As I write this I can hear Amber throwing her dish around the kitchen! Seems to be her new game. She will have had all her injections by the end of March and will then be able to meet cottage guests with the others.
Our dogs are part of the family here but we understand that some of our guests in our self-catering cottage here may be nervous of big dogs, and if that is the case we simply keep them away from you!
Here is a picture taken shortly after she arrived (altogether now aaaaaahhhhhh!)
