THE CLAONAIGLEN
CLAN WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU ALL A SUCCESSFUL 2010 SHOWING SEASON.
All of us at Claonaiglen would like to
congratulate Kay Baratt and Stranwith Ebenezer (a son of Dalesman)
on gaining his crown at the Scottish Hound Association.
Claonaiglen Biorbhaigh (Morag)
has gone to her new home and here she is
beneath the sign to prove that she has gone back to her roots and
where her affix has originated from.
There was almost a tear in Alan's eye as she
left with her new owners and he was very tempted to stow away in
the car and go back to his roots too as this is Alan's childhood
home. How amazing is that!
We recently made a trip up to Yorkshire to the home of Glenis and
Andrew Pink where a successful mating took place between our Ch.
Claonaiglen Orrin and the handsome Romany Rye to Greyhawks. Our
thanks to Glenis and Andrew for allowing us to use their boy on
Orrin.
Enquiries regarding puppies
can be e.mailed to us from this site. WATCH THIS SPACE!
Orrin gave birth to 12 healthy puppies on 24
April 2009.
10 Bitches and 2 Dogs. Mother and babies are doing well.
The puppies are now 6 weeks
old and fully weaned from Orrin. They are all eating and growing
well. They are all very outgoing and friendly. These photo's were
taken today on their first trip out into the garden. They had a
brilliant time running around and playing and there are several
keen gardeners in the litter

Romany Rye to Greyhawks. Owned by Mrs Glenis Pink.
1st in Limit Dog at Crufts 2009.
Our beautiful girl Cara (Killoeter Girzie at Claonaiglen) has been
awarded the title of TOP DEERHOUND BROOD BITCH 2008. Cara is the
dam to Ch. Claonaiglen Orrin and Ch. Claonaiglen Albyn to
Cloweswood.
Born on 21st November 2002 and bred by Mrs Nell MacBean, Cara had
a successful but short show career before having her first litter
from which came two champions.
Our thanks to Nell for allowing us to have Cara and to all the
judges who thought so highly of her offspring.
It is with great sadness
that we have to announce that Cara has passed away. Cara had been
very ill with a twisted spleen but seemed to be recovering well
from her surgery so it was a great shock to us when she died 6
months later. Cara was our first Deerhound bitch and our
foundation brood bitch. Cara did OK in the show ring but she
excelled as a mother and has left us with a wonderful legacy in
her daughter Orrin and Grandchildren Fionnelighe, Buie and Lochan.
It doesn't matter how many hounds one has, when you lose one for
whatever reason, a great big void appears which no other hound can
fill. We love and miss you Cara and we hope you like the Silver
Birch we have planted in your memory.
