Title: I'm back
Post by: shaendix on January 04, 2008, 10:43:09 PM: Hi there - I thought I would post here and reintroduce myself as I have been away from the forum for nearly 2 years - can't believe its been that long. :o
We have a small kennel in New Zealand where I have 5 cockers, 3 blacks (Buzz, Portia and Stella), 1 gold (Aireal) and 1 black and tan (Guinness). Our dogs lines go back to England, Austrailia and Denmark. We do show our dogs occasionally and have maybe one or two litters a year although we had none in 2007. We have a website and I have put the link on my profile.

Its great to see so many of the members are still here who were here in 2002 when I first joined, and heaps more new people. Look forward to chatting.

Cheers Sheree

Post by: Helen on January 05, 2008, 09:37:35 AM: ooooh lovely :luv: I know you guys had a mental November weather wise - mum said it was hottest for years, what's it like now?

My family (brother and family, and my mum) live at Rainbow Point (used to be on the outskirts of Lake Taupo, but with all the development it's pretty much a suburb now ::) )

Post by: shaendix on January 05, 2008, 09:47:08 AM: Its been a great summer this year lots of lovely hot days and then some cool days with a bit of rain to stop everything drying out. I have had the shorts out this year for the first time for ages - dogs didn't recognise me :005: We usually complain that its too cold in summer but not this year. Sydney is getting some flooding today - hopefully it will blow out before coming over the ditch. More housing development going in here as well. The suburbs are really moving out to meet us unfortunately. Taupo sounds lovely though.

Post by: daftcockers on January 05, 2008, 06:58:38 PM: Hi Glad you back ;), was talking about you yesterday, it sounded quite funny saying I had met you on the internet and invited you to stay. My cocker friend said I was mad, but you must have been madder to stay with me :005:. But as I pointed out it was the start of a lovely friendship, may it continue for many years. John says hi

then i think you should be posting pics of cockers enjoying a kiwi summer :luv: :luv: :luv: I was hoping to get home this Feb for a couple of weeks, but now it looks like it will be Feb 2009 (please organise some summer weather for me then!!!)
