Goodbye, my little Ysobel

WHAT'S GOING ON AT POUNDLANE 2020

Goodbye, my little Ysobel

2/10/2020

Ysobel was put to sleep Friday evening. We have had some sort of stomach upset going through the dogs, effecting six of them, which has now cleared up, but Ysobel with also her rumbling Pancreatitis, it hit her hard, and we felt that letting her gentle slip away by having her euthanised by our vet, was doing her the best service.
She was very loving quirky little thing. A brilliant mother to her litters, and even after retiring from breeding. She was often caught in the act nursing other bitches pups. We have her daughter, Primrose and Granddaughters, Bertha and Sasha. She now lies alongside her old mate, Dolly.

Dear Jane

I am so sorry to hear your very sad news, it is such a difficult and heartbreaking decision to have to make but take comfort in the knowledge that she was greatly loved and had a wonderful life.

My heart goes out to you and your family and I wish you and the pack all the very best.

Dear Jane - a difficult decision I know but one made with love. I feel for you and the family as Cavaliers are such characters they are always missed so dearly. Beautiful Ysobel lives on in your other girls which is a little comforting I’m sure, and we are lucky you share their lives with us. X

So sorry. It's lovely to think she was once nursing Blottie though.

So very sorry to read about Ysobel, sure she will be greatly missed; family things aren't so good here at the moment, but Lottie is fine and has now got a new playmate.

Welcome to this blog. I am Jane, a hobby breeder, situated in North Devon, England, UK (map at bottom of page ,shows where we are) on a quest to breed a healthier type Cavalier King Charles(small) type Spaniel.
If you are reading this, you have most probably come from my main website The POUNDLANE spaniel
Problems with putting anymore blogs on that website, I have now started this blog for 2020. Due to Covid 19 Ernest and Blottie's litter will not go ahead as first planned in March 2020, but we hope to go ahead now on Blottie's next heat in October 2020. This couple produced a beautiful litter together Looks like it's ten pups for Blottie the end of 2017.
If you wish to know more, you can ring me, Jane for a chat on 01769 560969
We have also decided to pair Ernest and Blottie's daughter, Teagol with our very smart little Working Cocker spaniel boy, Puddin' in 2020. She is due on heat middle of May 2020 and if we are coming out of retrictions due to Covid 19, we may go ahead with this pairing. Updates can be found on the blog (to your left).
