WELCOME TO THE WELSH COB

by Jan Irving | 10 Apr 2017 | PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED, riding and horses

Having lost Saadia to cancer and her lovely filly being caught in a fence in 2011 (our first such loss ever) we have rethought our riders’ ages and needs, and decided a Welsh Cob would suit the farm better. After a bit of a frustrating search, we came across our...

LINCOLN LONGWOOL SHEEP by: Jan Irving

by Jan Irving | 10 Apr 2017 | PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED, Sheep

LINCOLN LONGWOOLS are a product of the English county Lincoln. Similiar in age to the English Leicester breed, the Lincoln, however, did not warrant the degree of attention that their cousins did from Bakewell. The development of the Lincoln has depended largely on...

WELCOME TO BRAC ANGORAS

by Jan Irving | 10 Apr 2017 | Brac Angora Goats (Fine Mohair), PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED

REVIEW: THE GENETICS OF THE DOG edited by A Ruvinsky & J Sampson by: Jan Irving

by Jan Irving | 10 Apr 2017 | Indepth Breeding Notes, ISSUE 115: SEPTEMBER 2009, PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED

Some 40mm deep this is naturally a heady volume. For the average owner or breeder it is not essential for your own shelves, but make sure you have access to a copy. Unfortunately, breeds listed in the tables in each article are not included in the index. So it...

REVIEW: GOOD JUDGMENT by Peggy Grayson by: Jan Irving

by Jan Irving | 10 Apr 2017 | ISSUE 113: MARCH 2009, PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED

Sub-titled The New Judge’s Guide to Dog Showing and the Showring, this book has so much potential and while it does supply a heck of a lot on information I feel it fails it own objectives by the sometimes a scanty approach to topics, sometimes by harping on a...

REVIEW: WHY DOES MY DOG ACT THAT WAY? by Stanley Coren by: Jan Irving

by Jan Irving | 9 Apr 2017 | ISSUE 111: SEPTEMBER 2008, PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED, reviews - dog books and dvds

You know, this book is truly deceptive, but in the long run, really interesting. I got to page 23 and was getting very angry with the author, but I persevered and discovered his way of writing wasn’t what I expected,he was actually taking his readers on his...

REVIEW: AN ANCIENT HISTORY OF DOGS: SPANIELS THROUGH THE AGES by JC Judah by: Jan Irving

by Jan Irving | 9 Apr 2017 | ISSUE 109: 2008 MARCH, PHOTOS NEED TO BE ADDED

The title pulled me in, this is a subject close to my heart, and it was with great expectations that I undertook a study of this 2007 self published book. The spiel did make me aware the author had a heady bias to English Springers, and American style English...
