Fully Health Testedⓘ

Eithne (pronounced Enya), her mother Sibéal's lastborn puppy arrived safely (if rather later than expected) just after midnight on Easter Saturday, 8 April 2023. There was never any question that she would stay at Overdene as we only tried for a final litter from Sibéal in the hope of a girl for our direct bitch line - Eithne is our 7th generation. Her father is the lovely Woody (Shinehill Snow Patrol, owned by John & Liz Keene) - I first met Woody when he was still in Puppy classes and was thrilled to see how he has matured into a happy, friendly and gentle adult.

Eithne is currently taking her time to grow up, and we are enjoying having such a special little girl in our home. We were very pleased when Eithne's hip score came back at 5:6 (total of 11) with her elbows graded 0:0 (see results of health tests above). Eithne had her first eye test under the BVA/KC/ISDS scheme in August 2024, being pronounced "unaffected" by the conditions checked for, with a grade 0 for gonioscopy.

If all goes according to plan, we hope Eithne will have a litter during 2025.
