OUR DOGS
Our pack is continually evolving and changing, so this page is often out of date! But here are a few of our oldest and best dogs from years gone by.
DORA
Dora, who is the inspiration for this whole venture and who the training arena is dedicated in memory of, was Ellena's best friend and loyal companion since she was just 15. Her gentleness and kindness knew no bounds. She worked from the tender age of 6 months beating and picking up better than most. She loved agility winning her last competition at 10 years old, loved tricks and most of all loved her pack. She passed away peacefully early in 2013 in Ellenas' arms and will never ever be forgotten.
TILDA
Tilda is a 11 year old German Shepherd bitch. She is now retired but worked well picking up, beating and on peg.
She was a registered Pets As Therapy dog visiting hospitals, hospices, care homes and schools. She is also the 'cover girl' for the PAT website! She is quick to learn and great fun in agility and tricks.
Her enthusiasm and clumsy, comical charm never fail to make anyone smile and her loyalty is second none. She is also chief puppy trainer!
PUMBA (Birdbrook Vixen)
Pumba was Ellena's main working dog. She excels at gun dog and agility and is one of the nicest girls around. She has won her first novice working test and been placed in nearly all tests she entered. She has had three litters of puppies now. Every single puppy has the most beautiful nature, training attitude and natural aptitude for work. She is the start of the now impressive line of Swiftlands Labradors.
