Those Flatcoats
by whom I have been owned

We have owned Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers and my parents had a private pack of hunting Beagles,
but here are our Flatcoats - click on image or name for further pictures and details about each dog

 
THE FLATCOATS OF CASTLE COTTAGE
 
 

 

SAGA
Baradon Lady of the Forest
b. 6 Jan 1993 - d.19 Dec 2003.

Saga came from the Fens near Wisbeech. She was one of a litter of 9 and, although brought up with an old and rather grumpy Siamese cat, she was an 'only dog' for the first 4 years of her life - before having Folly inflicted on her.She was fearless, energetic, and - given the chance - thoroughly BAD! Of all the dogs that I have had Saga meant the most to me, if it were not for her this website would not exist, she was - and is - my muse. She was diagnosed with pancreatic Cancer just two weeks before her 11th birthday and we had her put down to avoid any untoward suffering.

 

   

FOLLY
Castlerock Leading Light
b. 23 May 1997 -

Again from a large litter (10 I think) we chose Folly for her rather dozy nature - and she is a very laid back Flatcoat. She did well to 'educate' Saga into sharing her life with another dog and has just had to take on the 'senior dog' role with the arrival of Epic. She has a wicked sense of humour, and can show a remarkable turn of speed despite her bulky physique. She is going a bit blind in her old age and her muzzle has gone grey (but then so has mine!).

 

   

EPIC
Amelia Peep
b. 17 Jan 2004-

Born in Doreset - near Corfe Castle - she was one of a litter of eleven - but when we first met her she was one of two left - and was unmercifully bullying her brother! Folly took to her straight away and still regards her as her 'pup'. Epic is over humanized - but has a lighthearted charm that means she gets away with THINGS. She was badly froghtened by fireworks from a nearby hotel, and has been desperately gun-shy ever since. Fortunately I no longer work my dogs as despite an excellent nose and real committment to the 'find' there is no way that she could be shot over..
