Ellie-May is from my very first litter of puppies. As she was the only bitch in the litter, there was no choice in which one I was to keep - but she has been the most perfect of dogs imagineable.

Ellie-May holds the KC Gold Good Citizen award and her temperament is fantastic. She is a very enthusiastic girl who loves everything and everybody - she's such a character.

In March 2007 she made me so proud by having her first litter of puppies - 9 - by Mossburn Colonel Mustard 2CC's, 1RCC, JW & SGWC.

Ellie-May had her second and final litter from CH Catcombe Cock A Doodle Doo 3CC's, 3 RCC's & 2 BOB - son of CH Catcombe Corblimey JW - 9CC's, 5RCC's, 5 BOB including RBOB Crufts 2007 & BOB Crufts 2008. Ellie had a fine litter of 10 on 26th July 2008 - 5 bitches & 5 dogs.

Sadly, I decided not to keep a puppy from Ellie, a decision I shall probably always regret, but she spends her days lazing around the house and garden, occasionally playing with her nieces and great-nieces.

Sadly, Ellie left us 6 weeks before her 15th Birthday. She was a very special girl who was loved by all who met her and has left an enormous gap in our home and lives.

Ellie was from the first litter I bred and I was so proud of her. She had the most amazing character. She was my dog of a lifetime - she will always be remembered by her funny way which never failed to make us laugh. We hope we gave her a wonderful life - she certainly enriched ours...

Kevin has bought me a locket with some of Ellie's Ashes in, I wear it permanently, so she is always close to my heart.

Sleep well Ells, re-united with your mum Mollie and daughters Bracken and Tilly. Love you xxx
