Latest News & Updates

Personal circumstances meant that we were unable to get to Crufts with either of the girls this year. It was the first time I had missed it for the best part of 20 years so a big disappointment. But we were absolutely thrilled when Kai, Osca’s young son, won his second Reserve CC from the puppy class, also taking Best Puppy in Breed. Well done Kai and owners Anita and Rose. He is doing us all proud!

Full details of Kai -

Poggio Picenze of Tassrosa (Ch Oceano Atlantico della Collina Di Revigliasco di Sunhaze (Imp It) x Osca Dei Giunoni (Imp It)). Breeders: Janet Finlay and Bethany Hewart. Owners: Anita Brown and Rosemary Tassell.

Will post a photograph when I can get one!

and of course owners Rosemary and Anita. Kai – at the grand old age of 7 months – attended his first show today (the Maremma Sheepdog Club of GB championship show) and won the Dog Reserve CC! He is growing into a stunning lad and is a credit to his owners – in particular he was incredibly well schooled and balanced for one so young. He was also Best Puppy in Show over his sister Fresca – but we didn’t mind – just thrilled to see them both in the challenge for the award.

Well done all of you – I hope it is the first of many top awards for him.

Lovely too to see Cali with Paul and Sandra, for a brief visit before the show started. He too has grown into a very handsome and well mannered lad and is a credit to them. Great to see you all!

Can hardly believe that Fresca and the boys are 5 months old today. If she is anything to go by they are shooting up and all legs! Will have to take some pictures for the site. If any of the other puppy owners have 5 month birthday snaps please forward them on.

Calling all Osca’s puppies’ owners! There is a new album under Osca’s litter called Growing Up where I am putting photos of the puppies that are sent by their new families. I will make an album for each puppy as I get pictures. So far I have Cali and Fresca. I can also give you upload rights to add your own pictures. We’re looking forward to watching them grow!

We had a busy and bittersweet weekend with all the puppies leaving for their new homes (except Sue’s boy). Pictures of them with their new families are in the Gallery.
It is great to know they have all gone to such lovely people but so sad to see them go. I’m setting up a “Growing Up” section of the news page so that we can keep in touch with them – I hope all the owners will keep sending pictures and stories of how they are getting on.

Our little girl Fresca continues to be gorgeous and is settling in well with her new “mum” Roz. You will certainly hear a lot more about her!
