As you can see, Menna's show career speaks for itself. She has certainly made judges look at our breed in a different light (in the UK). She is not only a wonderful show dog, but fantastic to live with too. She is quite a dominant bitch, but is also quite tolerant. A super guardian and a fantastic mother too. The children from her first litter are following Menna's winning ways and showing the world that Estrela's really can compete with all other breeds!
We are eternally thankful to Menna's breeder, Sietske Christan-Luchsinger for allowing us to have such a fantastic baby girl, and hope that we have been able to repay some of our debt by sending her Nia (Sturtmoor Nia No Nonsense) from Menna's first litter. Although shown very lightly, she has already proved herself a force to be reckoned with and is very like her mother!
Menna took two years out of the ring (2009 and 2010) due to maternal duties and produced two wonderful litters. She has come back to the ring in 2011 with a bang!! Once again she will be crowned as Top Estrela Mountain Dog in the UK!!

We are hoping for PUPPIES from Marnie and Jaydee in September 2011 - please contact us if you would like more information!
Marnie loves everyone. She is very outgoing, happy and acts like a lunatic at times! Unfortunately, at 10 weeks she decided she really didn't need food, and stopped eating. This was a crucial time for her to develope the bone she needed, and has therefore lost out on that as she did not really start eating again until she was about 6 months old. Despite this, she has fantastic type, movement and temperament - what more could we ask!
Slightly overshadowed by her bigger, more powreful looking brother (Taran), in the ring she has held her own, beating him on several occasions. She too came to the World Show, but being at the end of her phantom pregnancy, she decided the judge was not allowed to touch her rear end!! This from the dog that usually kisses judges!! Unfortunately the judge (although he thought she was beautiful) had to disqualify her. It was good to see her back to her old self a few days later! Hormones can really play up with these dogs!
She is pictured above with Layla Aylott. Layla very kindly comes to shows she can get to (when not working) to help us with the dogs. She adores Marnie and Jaydee, and shows them both as often as she can. Layla has become almost part of the family, we (and especially the dogs) look forward to seeing her at every opportunity.
THANKS LAYLA!!
