Dear Andrea  and David

I trust you are both well in these strange times? I believe you mentioned that you like to see photos of the pups you have bred, so I thought I would send you some of Clearmeadow June or Merlin/”Merli” as I call her, born 20th February.

She’s a lovely pup  biddable but with plenty of spirit and ideas of her own. She’s learning very fast and is an interesting mixture of sensitive and confident. She is utterly crazy about fetching anything and has a wonderful nose. Getting her to bring the ball to hand can be difficult as she gets very excited this is our main difficulty at present! The photos were taken on the 12th of November when Merli was 9 months old.

Wishing you a very Happy New Year, Jo.
