Bailielands Fuzzy & Fizzy




































































6 weeks old and full of character already, Fizzy ( one with one eyepatch)is the very very loving one always licking and snuggling, Fuzzy ( symmetrical markings) is the one for divilment
, also a natural bobtail, first one I've ever seen in real life. I don't dock tails any more if I can help it so this is a genuine bobtail, crikey! You live and learn.

Glens... The Smallholders Dog?






























































































Bailielands Cailin & Bailielands Sioda rathunting around the poultry pens, which are powered by eco friendly solar power :) A wee panel trickle charges my 12v battery that energies the electrified poultry netting, its working great so far, definitely worth the money.

Rat Hunting Glens










































































































Bailielands Cailin & Bailielands Sioda hunting for rats around the poultry pens.
Where our Buff Orpingtons, the big yellow ones and French Copper Black Marans ( layers of chocolate brown eggs) in the smaller wire run are kept.
This year I sold 3 pairs of young Orpingtons in 15 minutes making 120 euro in total at this months local poultry sales, couldn't get over it. Plus I heard one of my pairs resold on the day for 60 euro, blimey!
Got first years batch of buff eggs in incubator now and also 6 new Maran eggs I bought in ebay to freshen up my stock, also going to do an egg trade deal for new blood Buffs with a fellow buff breeder in Mayo. Its all go, chickens are great:)
Cailin & Sioda do very well catching any rats around, you know when a rat was caught by a glen and not a jack russell as the russell caught ones may be a little mauled, the glen caught ones look very intact except for bugging eyes as glens squeeze them and don't shake them. Grim but useless bit of info there.












Test Drive For New Camera











Snow again out here, and Cailin looking pretty.

Bailielands Deirdre/Glenda








































Visitor today Michael Moran and a pup born 20th August 2006 to us out of Gerrardstown Delight (Ruby's Sister) by Bailielands Bruce.


She's not a pup now, she's a lovely young dog, hope to see them again at PRA clinic in April here and then we might see about a suitor for her.
