Pup News...

2010-06-10T04:14:00.000-07:00

Back in April, Bruno had a lady Friend visit him. She is called Muffin (Sonorra Red Spell). The outcome was 2 very strong big pups, the pups growth was so vigorous that they were born by C-Section. We can pass on that mother and pups are doing very well. Well done Muffin & Bruno. Also very well done to Kath, Geoff and Lucie who own Muffin and got her through a hard Labour. Here are mother and pups happy and content.

Proud Bruno...

Here is Bruno with one of his daughters before she went to her new home. She is called Cookie and her kennel name is Wreaywire Tweed Fahion.

We have had one of our recent pups return to us to have a tidy up before going on Holiday. Sadie came to see us and her mum Bridey new who she was straight away and they renewed their bond which you can see in their play!

Thank you Mal and Jan for giving Sadie a great life style, we look forward to the photo in her lifejacket!

Wreaywire Vin Rouge....Minnie

2010-05-12T05:35:00.000-07:00

Here is Minnie, she was from Bruno and Belle's litter last year. Her sisters are Tori and Muffin. She is a fine strong girl and we know that her mum and dad(Fiona & Jonathan) are keen for her to have a litter or two and she looks like a good breeding bitch. She likes game with a liking for pidgeon and partidge!

Wreaywire Visuelle - Muffin

2010-05-08T07:03:00.000-07:00

Here is Muffin after being stripped out last month. She is a lovely girl and we know Heather and Alan love her very much.

Tori's progress...

2010-04-06T06:41:00.000-07:00

We have had some more photos over from Ireland, and Tori is lovely.We think she has a lovely head and this shot shows it off great. Ears are nice and close to skull and point of ear closely held near to outer corner of eye, and are not set too high above the head, they are also not small. Far too many Lakies now are getting ear carriage like wire fox terriers and it so untypical. At Wreaywire we try to produce the correct Lakeland features.

Crufts 2010

This is Tori. She is from our last litter - Wreaywire Flash Harry(Bruno) x Blackdale Sparkle with Wreaywire(Belle). Tori went to live with her new Mum & Dad,Ann & John in Athboy,Ireland.

The journey home was a long one but Tori handled it with ease and was very relaxed. She has settled in very well, as you can see by the pictures on the parcel shelf waiting to board the Ferry and anouncing her arrival in Athboy! Thank you Ann & John for giving the wee girl a lovely home and life with you.

Louieville Red Phantom of Wreaywire.....Bobby

2009-10-19T02:40:00.000-07:00

We said goodbye to our Bobby over the weekend, we will miss him greatly. He was the most loyal dog i have ever known and was a 'one man dog' to me.

He was a very proud boy and you could see this clearly. He sired some lovevly pups and his good nature passes to them. His time came too soon, but only the good die young. A tribute to bobby will appear on the main site in the future.

Bobby - October 1999-October 2009.

Has this Foxhound Pack gone on strike?

2009-01-22T10:07:00.000-08:00

Look at this photo sent to me by Nicky Patterson of Auchenhove Terriers.Have these dogs gone on strike or is this Fox immortal!

Bridey...

2009-01-22T10:00:00.000-08:00

We are still waiting for Bridey to show if she is in whelp,so we are thinking along the lines that she has conceived late again,so we will be looking for her to fill out in the next two weeks and then have her scanned.Here is a pup from Bridey's first litter in December 2007,he is Called Wreaywire Red Spartan(at 3 weeks old).

Bruno in the snow...

2009-01-06T13:04:00.000-08:00

Wreaywire Flash Harry - Bruno's Progress...

2009-01-01T11:24:00.000-08:00

Bruno is now 5 months old and he is coming along nicely.He has a little more growing to do,and,once he fills out and matures he will be a fine Lakeland Terrier.He has super breeding behind him both on his sire's and dam's lines.He also has a wondeful nature too.Here is Bruno after being hand stripped,note not much furnishings yet.

Future Breeding Continued...

2008-12-10T10:35:00.000-08:00

Bridey & Belle have came into season.We have decided to put back Belle until next summer and we have mated Bridey(Wreaywire Reiver Tweed) to our own Bobby(Louieville Red Phantom of Wreaywire).Keep checking the Blog for Bridey's progress,knowing Bridey,she will have her moments!

Here is Bridey with Michelle.

Jack Bowman(Wreaywire Tempest)

2008-11-25T03:41:00.000-08:00

This is "Jack"Bowman his kennel name is Wreaywire Tempest.He fits his name very well as he is full of life,but as he is getting older he is channeling his energies into his puppy training classes.Jack now lives with his mum and dad-Helen and Mark in Newcastle,so no doubt Jack will be picking up the Geordie accent.We think he will turn out to be a very striking young man and look forward to his progress.Most people get News Flashes but Helen and Mark send us regular Jack Flashes which are very amusing!Maybe we will have to show a few on here in the Future!Here is Jack....I keep thinking was this a lull before the storm!

Lakelands and Ice cream!

2008-11-25T00:59:00.000-08:00

Over the years we have noted that our Lakies love an ice ream to share,and in particular our new girl Belle whom we acquired from Harry O'Donoghue's Blackdale Kennel.She has let us know this on more than one occasion,the best site for all things ice cream is http://www.ice-cream-recipes.com/

Stanley (Wreaywire Phantom Spirit)

2008-11-24T11:18:00.000-08:00

This is Stanley,he is owned and loved by Kevin & Jill Hunt.They kindly sent us an update on him and some photos of him.He is a very lucky Lakie as he is well travelled around the UK,enjoying many Holidays with his Mum and Dad.As you can see he really likes the seaside !

"Saffy"Wreaywire Dairymaid...

2008-11-24T10:46:00.000-08:00

The previous Blog we had about Saffy(Wreaywire Dairymaid) was sent to us by Gary,Angy and Elliott Wright whom have given one our pups a wonderful home and life in North Yorkshire.Thanks for the updates Gary...Lee.

NEW TESTIMONIAL...

2008-11-24T10:19:00.000-08:00

As you will know if you have looked at our site we have a testimonial page,so now and again we get them from people who have a Wreaywire Lakeland.We have received another from a lovely family who got Saffy(Wreaywire Dairymaid)...Here it goes..."We decided on a Lakeland to brighten up our lives and lucky for us Lee and Michelle's "Molly" had just had a litter,Angy rang and she was so impressed how Lee was so friendly and enthused about Lakies.He was so knowledgeable on how he speaks about them,that we decided that we had to get a a puppy from them.We went to see the litter and it was lovely to see them in the house like part of the "Family".Everything seemed like fate,the puppy Lee had set aside for us went directly to Angy and sat on her feet.Lee kept in touch with us by phone on how Saffy was getting on which was a reaaly nice touch,that really put our mind at rest that we were getting a well reared pup from a breeder who was passionate about the breed.Saffy came home with us 3 weeks later and she is a a joy to have,it is difficult taking her fo a walk as we get stopped so many times from people saying how cute she is,asking where we got her from and if she is going to be a show dog.THANK YOU to both of them for such a lovely dog.We still keep in touch with Lee and Michelle and would highly recommend them to anyone who would like to have a Lakeland Terrier raised with sich passion and expertise.

The name WREAYWIRE

2008-11-17T12:46:00.000-08:00

We have been asked many times how we came about our kennel name and how do you pronounce it,well here is the story....Many years ago as young lads myself,Andrew Hay and Martin Kelly would go rabbiting with a couple of ferrets and our dogs.We would spend all day up the fields working the hedges etc,with the Lakelands and a Lurcher for rabbits and Hares.More often than not we would end up near the village or Wreay which is south of Carlisle,we only lived a few miles away in Upperby.We would gain permission from the land owners and off we would go.We had such good childhoods that those memories will stay with me forever.So as you can see that is where Wreaywire comes from-Wreay(as in the village) and wire(hard wiry hair on a Lakeland)...WREAYWIRE...pronounced (ree-a-whya)......Lee Rotherham.

FUTURE BREEDING PLANS

2008-11-14T05:35:00.000-08:00

We have been planning our future breeding and Bridey or Belle will be mated when they come into season.We have specific stud dogs in mind,and for Belle she will be mated to a red dog.Bridey if selected to breed will be mated to our own Bobby(Louieville Red Phantom of Wreaywire)who is also red.Keep checking this page for future news and pictures...Lee.
