It seems quite amazing that we are
in the last quarter of 2012 already

in 2012.
On one of the few lovely sunny days in
September we attended Richmond
Championship Show and were delighted
to be awarded 1st Junior Dog with Cameron.

Dog CC Best of Breed and ultimately

a great day!!!
After having a puncture on the
way to East of England and arriving just in time for

from the ring for nearly 2 years.
We only attended Windsor Show in July
and "Archie" Ch Penliath Belts 'N' Braces was
the only one to represent our Kennel there

The third quarter of 2011 has been an emotional
rollercoaster for Nicki and I.
On Thursday 4th August 2011 we had to say
goodbye to our beloved "Alice" just 17 days
short of her 14th Birthday. This was a day that Nicki
and I dreaded. Alice was a quite remarkable Corgi
in many ways, from the minute she was born she
appeared to know she was going to be special. She
excelled in the showring beyond our wildest dreams
but most of all she was just our wonderful girl.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the
many Judges and enthusiasts around the World
that have appreciated her qualities over the years.
We would also sincerely thank everyone for all the
wonderful messages we received after losing Alice.
Early in June we also lost our beloved Penliath Flame
Dancer "Portia" , Mother to "Reggie" Ch Penliath Bean Add.
Portia was one of those Corgis that was always full of life
and lived every day to the full, she is sadly missed.
The final few months of 2011 have had
there many highs and lows here at Penliath.
Sadly we also lost dear "Pru" Ashbarton
Spring Song at Penliath and "Mazey" Penliath
Jubilee Dancer. To loose four of our
wonderful girls in one year has been
so hard for us to come to terms with.
