12.01.2022 To Everyone traveling to Bawley Point. Safe travels and we will see you all there. Hope you all have a great weekend and always remember the best dog on the day is the one you take home with you.

11.01.2022 I just want to give a warning to everyone after receiving some very sad news earlier today about the death of a young dog we bred. Please be careful when using ...the Hothands (or similar brands) hand warmers/foot warmers that are air activated. The main active ingredient in these is iron powder & in an amount that is extremely toxic & potentially lethal to dogs & cats. Yes, there is a small warning "keep out of reach of children and pets" but until now we weren't aware just how dangerous they could be. However, this warning is only on the external packaging, not the packaging that the individual hand warmers are in. A family who bought a puppy from us towards the end of last year lost their young dog after he found one of these (it seems to have fallen out of a jacket pocket) & ate almost all of the hand warmer, including all of the contents. He managed to find this while his family were with him in the house, like a typical golden retriever he found a "treasure" & took it secretly. His family weren't aware anything was wrong until he vomited & then they found part of the chewed hand warmer. He received urgent vet treatment, staying at the emergency vet overnight. He seemed to improve, the vets thought maybe the iron hadn't been as potent as the hand warmer had been activated & it seemed he had been able to vomit up all the contents. The next day he was not his usual self & went back to the vets, and ended up in intensive care for treatment & monitoring. Sadly, he had sustained organ damage, he deteriorated through the night & died. His family are devastated & so are we. This has been a huge warning to us I would not want to hear of this happening to anyone else. Please, if you use these types of air activated hand warmers that you make sure they are kept where your dog (or cat) can't reach them. Also, when you dispose of them make sure it's somewhere animals can't get to. Personally, I don't think I'll have these in our house at all.
