Limerick, Orchid, Whistle, Tilly and Mercedes

Tilly

Tilly (Pines Little Rock out of Pines Hilary) is the oldest of out Hovawarts at the grand age of 13. Tilly has never had puppies but instead has done well in both the show ring and at obedience. She is the proud winner of all three Kennel Club Good Citizen awards. Though excelling at obedience never stopped her from helping herself to the odd sausage from our breakfast when our backs are turned!

Limerick

Limerick (Pines Limerick out of Pine Illustrious Buckle) is the second eldest. Limerick is the dam of the Pines Gun litter. Her most recent achievement was winning the verteran class at Crufts this year (2009). She is also our PAT dog.

Orchid

Orchid is not only working dog but also the mother of three beautiful litters. She is the first Hovawart in the UK to achieve both CDX and UDX in Working Trials.

Whistle

Whistle (Pines Penny Whistle out of Pines Mercedes) is also a working Mum, having juts had her second litter and recetnly achieved CDX in Working Trails. Unlike Orchid who is thinking of retiring to guard the pigs at home, Whistle is hoping to achieve her UDX once her pups have left home.
