I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped me with my dogs over the past few years. To name everyone would fill this page 3 times over but many of you out there will know who you are. However I do need to thank a few very special people.

Jean & John Gillespie of Lochranza Kennels - they have been my rocks and taught me nearly all I know.

Kate & Paul of Trentshome - well these pair have been brilliant in every way from building kennels, to hearing me off load on the phone when things have gone wrong here, what would we do without them ? I hope we never find out.

Anne & Alan Webster of the famous Asquanne's Cocker spaniels for their encouragement and of course the use of their stud dogs that have helped to shape the current Lochranza team.

Tanya Lewis of Penmartan - for encouraging me with Norbert.

Mark Boswell of Marquell - for the lovely Millie and the endless cups of coffee and cake.
