Please let me introduce you to our youngest member Thistle....

My good friend (sadly no longer with us) of many years decided to breed a litter of roughs, I was looking for a new male pup to become a stud in years to come. My friend told me of her pups due to be born and I said if there is a blue boy in the litter, he is mine. Well sadly my friend went into hospital and she died before she could even have a chance to see the pups she had waited so long to breed. But her daughter kept her mums word and so a blue boy came to us. Why the name Thistle...the Thistle is from Scotland (so are Roughs) and my friend could be a bit prickly, so Thistle is the right name for him. So, Jean my friend I will show this boy and always think of you, I know you didn’t get to meet him, but you did breed a good one a right little cracker.

Thistle bring new blood lines into our family as he has Erjon. Jopium,slatestone and amalie breeding behind him so not related to my lines at all, so good for the gene pool 

Once the showing is going again watch out for our shining star the blue boy Thistle
