Welcome to our site. We are a small kennel occasionally producing home reared puppies. We are involved in showing, working, agility and obedience with our dogs. Flo our Italian Spinone recovered from her first litter to go back showing off getting a third place at Crufts 2009. The picture above is of Dora our most recent addition from Flo's litter also qualifying for Crufts. From the same litter Joe (Boxlock Finlay) is still winning and has had success in Ireland gaining his first "Green Star" as well as winning his class at the the Spinone Club's championship show this year. Trella (Boxlock Florence) is now already an American Champion after doing brilliantly in her shows in the US. She is continuing to win as well as getting stages to working awards. With regards to puppies , Flo is due before the end of this month, September. As always we have a list of prospective new homes already but may have some available depending on litter size. It is a repeat mating (as the last litter was so good) with, now record holding, Show Champion Adinas Mandriano at Valabeau

The dogs now live in three seperate homes now as our family has grown older. They all meet up quite often and enjoy running rip as a pack on walks. 


Florence (Bannonbrig Painted Lady of Boxlock), or Flo for short, is our 1st Italian Spinone. She was bred by the Spencers (Bannonbrig Kennel) in Wigan. Now biggest of all the dogs (although Dora is now taller) and she is a handful especially with the thought of a walk put in her head. She does agility and obedience. She is also our first dog that we have 'shown'. She qualified for Crufts 2009 getting third in her class and had a litter all within a year.

Dora (Boxlock Flora) is from Flo's last litter. She is a character of course and possibly had some mountain goat genes put in somewhere demonstrated by her climbing antics. She qualified for Crufts 09 in her first show and is enjoyin learning the basics of dog agility. Some of her litter mates are also doing very well in shows. Check out the Puppies 2008 page.

Tessa is from the Shotaan kennel like Inga before her she guards the house and torments any dog that visits. Be warned that if you come to visit she is very playful and may guide you to the house if invited.

Tinker (Gunstock Dana) came from Gaynor and Trevor Bailey (Gunstock Kennels) in North Wales. She is a compact and has a curly coat like her dad FTCh Haskayne Moss of Glensue (National Champion. She wasn't cut out to be a mum and only had one litter. She is still very playful and sometimes has a mad ten minutes to an hour tearing about on walks.

Baloo (Boxlock Eamon) came from Melly's last litter and lives with Katy. Tinker is his Grandma. He is such a calm gentleman. He has had the nickname 'Baloodini' for his escape artist repetoire. He seems to have the cat like ability to squeeze through the tiniest of holes. He hasn't had any training but his instincts and breeding came to the fore in a recent scurry and his "Spin Swim" weekend. (just click on his) picture to find out more)
