23rd March 2008 - There has not been much happening at Wolfskye for the last 2 months, due to other committments which had to take priority. This resulted in Quake and Sapphy having a holiday elsewhere. Quake should be home next week and Sapphy came home yesterday. I am pleased to report that Sapphy has come home a very different girl. She is much more confident so hopefully will get back into the show ring after all... We haven't been to any shows since 28th January and Quake's next show won't be until June as he is now out of coat. I can't wait to get back out there. It will be nice to get everything back to normal around here.

What a wonderful show career "Skye" has had. BIS, RUBIS, RUBISS AUST GRAND CH DARKSKY BOUNTY SPIRIT WWPD ROA. She has been one of the most consistent bitch's out there and I'm sure that there are many people, who will be happy that she has now retired...... She has been an absolute pleasure to show and I have had so much fun with her in the ring. She is a very showy bitch and truly loves to show so she will be seen in veterans and de-sexed classes in 2008.
