Beautiful Tally has left us. It was his time to grow his glorious Welsh Dragon Wings. Tally was our first Welshie & how lucky were we to have such a beautiful, devoted friend as him in our lives? It is now so quiet & very sad here without him. His beloved mate Muriel spends her time searching for him. It is heartbreaking to watch.
We are blessed to have his two children here - Windy & Pagan. We smile as we watch his children. He lives on in both them & our hearts. Until we are reunited, safe travels across the Rainbow Bridge our special old friend.
Tally! The little Welsh Wizard that cast his Welshie spell on all he meets.
We watched a beautiful Welshie win Best in Group at Crufts & we knew we just had to have one for ourselves. We had instantly fallen in love with the stunning little red & white Spaniels from Wales! However, we wanted one that was related to this Crufts winner, or, at the very least, it had to resemble the one we had fallen in love with. To cut a long story short, we discovered that the lovely 'Oscar' (Supreme Champion Shandwick Raffles (imp UK) had arrived in Australia & was now in Brisbane, Queensland. We contacted Bev & Bruce Cornish of Ricochez Kennels & 'Oscar' had been mated to 'Belle' (Champion Goldmaid Dutch Treat), & after the longest 4 months of waiting our first little Welsh Dragon Mittens landed safely at the airport & away we went ~ headlong into the crazy, wriggling, wonderful, sometimes frustrating but very waggy world of the merry Welsh Springer Spaniel!
Tally is the spitting image of his father Oscar, & those who were lucky enough to have met his sire see the resemblance immediately. Dazzled by his glorious red & white jacket & cheeky personality he had soon taken over our hearts. He settled in a treat & we were thrilled from the start with our Welsh beastie. With his perfect 'leaf-shaped' ears, very correct proportions, absolutely breathtaking head & front, coupled with his classic & correct Welshie 'movement' it is no wonder that Tally is a very consistent winner in the show ring. A straighter moving dog you will NOT find anywhere & his 'topline' never ever falters on the move. Judges comment on this & admire his 'true' gait constantly. It really does have to be seen to be believed! You could literally put a glass of water on his back as he trots around & not one drop would spill!
Mind you, it hasn't always been plain sailing s it did take him quite a while to get over his WSS 'reserved' stage in the ring! The WSS can be standoffish with strangers. It also took him 18 months to start eating properly (WSS can also be prone to this annoying trait but most of them grow out of it by 18 months), & he is a real piggy for his food now & likes anything he can get his velvety chops around ~ in fact, we now have to watch he doesn't get too fat!
