Rene is Best of Breed at Darlington 2011

Babrees French Resistance

Myrna Shiboleth (Shaar Hagai, Israel) is recognised as the Worlds most foremost authority in the world on Canaan Dogs, so when she came over to judge Canaan Dogs at Darlington Championship Show on 16th December 2011, of course I had to enter Rene (Babrees French Resistance). Myrna attacted an excellent entry of 22 dogs, which [...]

Frenchie

Frenchie - Canaan Dog

Boy have we had a bad weekend. Last Thursday Frenchie took ill with being sick.  We carefully watched her during the day and she did seem a bit quieter than usual. Anyway, come Friday morning she had extremely bad sickness and diarrhoea, so we rushed her down to the vets for a checkup. Our vet, [...]

Chefa

Canaan Dog-Chefa Profile

We have a visitor at the moment, Chefa, or Chefa de Solemel as is her official name.  She is the sweetest of bitches and has come to wed her husband, Cane.  I took these photographs of her this morning while out for our early morning stroll.  As you can probably see, we had a very [...]

A Cold Winter in the Fens

Canaan Dogs in the Snow, Frenchie and Rene

Well what a winter we have had so far, and it’s barely started! We had about 4-5 inches of snow a couple of weeks ago, which of course the dogs all loved, but our chickens were definitely not impressed and there were several days they did not dare venture out from their shed! Snow is [...]

Benji left for Rainbow Bridge

Benji the Canaan Dog

It is with a very heavy heart that I have to write that our dearest Benji (Babrees Benjamin D’Israeli) was put to sleep today to save further suffering. Benji was such a true gentleman. We didn’t show him much because as an adult he hated showing, but those time we did he usually did very [...]

Dog showing

So, having stopped showing a number of years ago, I decided to show Rene. Having believed that I would never show again, Rene had not been socialised or worked on at all. As we have our own land for pleasure and exercising our dogs Rene had not even been off our territory. Now, showing such [...]

Boaz is looking for a home

Canaan Dog rehome

Boaz is a Canaan Dog in need of a new home. Born in August 2008, he is friendly and outgoing and seems to get along well with children and other dogs in a home situation. He is castrated and fully innoculated. He loves to play, needs a firm hand but with plenty of love and [...]

Frenchie is so Funny!

Canaan Dogs are full of character, and our Frenchie is no exception. Our Canaan Dogs are in kennels (when they are not running free in our paddocks), and we open their hatches to let them out at about 8am. Now the weather is improving and the sun is shining first thing in the mornings, Frenchie [...]

Babrees has a new look!

Well I thought it about time that I gave our website a bit of a facelift – I hope you like it! Pages have moved around, so if you have bookmarked something in the past, please redo your bookmark. The colour scheme I chosed seemed to be appropriate for a dog that originates from the [...]

Makiwer Enchantress for Tokra

Today was a very sad day for us. We had to make the hard decision to call Nigel, our vet, out to send Tessa over the Rainbow Bridge to save her from any further suffering. Tessa has now been laid to rest in our orchard, near her grandmother, Evie. This decision never gets any easier, [...]
