The Milbrose Gang

[Shalva]

Along with my orchid addiction we have dogs... there are also two ragdoll cats... Janet and Walter...

Our kennel name is Milbrose and we show and compete in assorted venues like the LGRA (large gazehound racing association) with our hound, obedience with most of the gang, rally obedience with most of the gang... and therapy work as well as field with the retrievers.

We have 5 golden retrievers, 3 flat coated retrievers and 1 Irish Wolfhound

so without further ado....

Natalie our Irish Wolfhound... she is ten months old, has a couple of Best of Breeds under her belt and is just the sweetest thing...



Kaelyn (golden retriever, Can. Champion)



Emmett (golden retriever with obedience titles, son of Kaelyn)



Connie (golden retriever, daughter of Kaelyn)



Connor (golden, Can. Champion wiht obedience titles)



Bing (son of Kaelyn brother of Connie with significant medical issues)



Cuinn (Flat Coated Retriever Am. Can. Champion)



Meir (he is working on obedience)



and finally Shalva (Am. Can. Champion Mother of Meir)

)

I also have a dog Alex who lives in California with his Co-owner, he will probably be the dad of Connies puppies come August

He is an International Champion and is working on his UKC championship



So that is the entire gang.... its how I spend my life... I didn't have to give birth to them and when they cop an attitude they go in their crates but they are my very best friends and I can't imagine not having the gang to come home to everyday... no matter how bad a day can be... coming home to a pile of dogs will change any bad mood instantaneously

Those are very large dogs and quite a handful...I would be too tired to play with one of them even for just an hour...

Meir is a beautiful dog...I want to adopt Meir

Oh, Natalie, what a cutie!

Beautiful dogs especially the Flat Coated Retrievers - a very beautiful and energetic breed.

Nice dogs, where's the cat pix ???

[Shalva]

Janet... blue bicolor ragdoll





Walter... Seal bicolor ragdoll

[The Mutant]

How gorgeous!

in the upper picture of Janet on the back of the sofa what you can't see is that this is directly after she clubbed the head of Meir the flat coat... she was pretty irritated at the time and he was trying to annoy her so she gave him a good punch right on the snout....

this is the whole series of pictures... as you can see the cats don't put up with any guff ... she took care of business and walked off

You really have a full house!!! I imagine that it must be quite a lot of work to tend to everyone, but so well worth it. Your cats are adorable (and sure don't get bossed around!), I had never heard of that breed before. Do you show them as well?

Walter was going to be a show kitty and I decided I really had enough dogs to show... I didn't need to add any other critters to show... so they are both pets... I had some old kitties that had passed and I didnt think I would get any more kitties but the house felt so empty wihtout them... so two is my limit but I just adore them ....

Every house needs a kitty or two!!!
