And this is exactly the way little Eliza Langman-Rouse came into the world....</span><br />

I can honestly say it is the most painful yet amazing experience I have ever imagined. Seeing her looking at me with her big brown eyes, exquisite and inquisitive all at the same time melted both of our hearts and healed so much in less than a second. She has already changed our lives and yet made everything so complete. Very surreal!</span><br />

Reef gazes at her for hours, Fiji steals her toys, Bailey is very interested in her noises, Popi sleeps alongside her, Tik wiggles at her and Riot has not yet noticed her! We are very lucky to have such kind dogs. </span><br />

She shocked us by having them 6 days early, and Matt also shocked me by being the best Mid husband ever.<br />
<br />
Free has four lovely pups, all fairly classic and nicely marked. She has two girls and two boys and I am pretty certain that three out of the four are staying with some FANTASTIC Devon Dogs Clients so I am over the moon.<br />

Below is Reef, Free and our last bunch of puppy cuddles and visitors last year :) We do love having our puppies. <br />

I will really need some newspaper ASAP :) PLEASE help - drop it to my van anytime!<br />
<br />
If you would like a visit for a cuddle let us know and we will let you know when and also if you are considering a future Devongem puppy we do have a second litter expected in November as we were unsure whether Free would have enough pups so please do contact us to see if you would be a suitable home for one of these gorgeous pups. We do have a list but things are always changing! <br />
<br />
Hope to see you all soon,<br />

Thankyou all for your enquiries. Frees' pups are pretty much spoken for but Poppy has some flexibility in her list so feel free to enquire for this litter or Poppy x Reef will probably repeat in 18months/2 years and Free x Jacquis choice of dog next year. <br />

Free is enjoying all of her food and extra fuss. It is really funny in the last week of pregnancy the bitches seem to have this calm look of knowldge in their eyes and seem to sleep and rest a little more. Free still wants all of her walks though and I tried to leave her in the stables yesterday whilst letting out the young dogs and guest dogs at Bowerland and she was not having any of it. So normal walks it is! <br />
<br />
I will keep you all updated on Free and Poppys progress and we should know in a week or two through scan whether Poppy is in pup. <br />

Dont get me wrong, when you sell a puppy you know that the ownership is now gone however that does not stop you wanting them to do well and I have to say they have exceeded my expectations. Some are with experienced owners, others are with first time owners yet all are doing themselves and me very proud, I am happy for you all.<br />

We are expecting some more pups shortly - lovely Freebie to Reef - The Free pups will be lovely! These are all very spoken for.<br />
<br />
And also a very talented bitch Poppy was mated to Reef last week - I cannot wait for this litter, they will be very talented and I expect similar to the Popi x Reef for temperament and type. See pictures below. We will scan at 3 weeks. <br />

I have had lots of enquiries <br />
and as with all her litters we have a waiting list but even so things always change so do <br />
feel free to contact us. <br />
<br />
Reef has also just been mated to a friends bitch, a stunning kind tempered and well balanced <br />
tri colour birch - we are keeping everything crossed for a litter from this stunning girly, her health, temperament and type is all perfect!! Pictures will follow shortly and we will be helping home this litter - they will be border collies and have a very good pedigree! <br />
<br />
I hope some of you start to bring some newspapers to class - we have very little so far! If you do bring any drop it by the container - thankyou all so much in advance, <br />
<br />

They are due the last weekend of September so no shows for us as we will be hanging around Bowerland eagerly awaiting a new arrival or two.<br />
<br />
I find this so exciting and if all turns out okay we hope to have another litter in a years time. I do not breed often but really to keep our line going and in the hands of great people. We hope for a bitch in this letter to go to a breed home so we can see this fantastic line continuing if health and temperament tests are good. <br />
<br />
The Devongems have been doing oh so well :) Popi had a 3rd in the Agility Club Champ Final narrowly missing the ticket, Brooke, Riot and Tiki Dee have all gone into G5, Cove was in the DIN final, Mist was in the KCI Novice Cup, Devo is one win off G7 Mark tells me, Chilli is looking lovely and Zing has started his KC comps, and the honary Devongems spics and coast have started competing - Spice won her first SC and Coast had a 2nd and 3rd with his first two clears :) Get you guys :) I am way too proud :) I am so proud of Reef and Mrs Pops - great pups even if I do say so myself :) And handsome to boot :) <br />

<br />
What with Shawn, Fern, Rhianna and Val these guys have it covered even when Matt and I are busy - which we have been with Greg.<br />
<br />
It was great to get some fantastic training in, Fiji was a star and Riot looked awesome - these guys have a good future ahead of them. Tik had hurt her chin so couldn't train and so it was down to Fiji and Riot. Greg was great and had loads of feedback for them.<br />
<br />
We are still waiting patiently for little miss Free - she has so many eager people on the list I really do hope we have puppies. <br />
<br />
Talking of puppies here are little miss Tuesy and Fiji - gorgeous girls! Keeping both Jo and I very busy I am sure :)<br />

Clement StoneWhat a great few weeks for the Devongems. An excellent few emails and texts and some lovely cuddles. I am sure every breeder brims with pride but I really do when I snuggle these pups. I am not saying they are the easiest but hey who wants easy......?<br />
<br />
Devongem Dark Knight qualified for the Olympia semis today, he was always my pick of litter, a handsome pushy and exceedingly strong bc boy. And then cheeky has had trophies at the big shows and got a semi day too and moved to grade 4! Tik has grown so much as a dog and not in height for those of you that know her, I mean the more I work her the more she gives me. She wears her heart on her sleeve - she is a cutie pie. <br />
<br />
And then Rock and Cove - these boys are the light of their owners lives - I love the regular texts, pics, and words of praise, I am over the moon with how you love them. <br />
<br />
I snuggled with ditto too at the weekend and she had a race around with Fiji, I love this pup, a very pretty girly! And then her brother Rhyme - he has to be the most handsome boy really, well after Riot that is ;) <br />
<br />
We had 7 new pups born this week who will possibly be registered under the our affix - we get on so well with the breeder and respect her so much, these are wsd pups and simply stunning!! There are two reds, one blue and four blacks - all tri as Molly and coast are both classic tris! These pups are all homed and I can't wait until they are old enough for me to start training :):)<br />
<br />
Our litter will hopefully be mated soon, free is the sweetest girly so fingers crossed we get a mating :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Well done to all the lovelydevongems whatever you are up to I ammore than proud of you! <br />

Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best that you can do. It does not matter what others think, it is of prime importance, however, what you think about you. You can never do your best, which should always be your trademark, if you are cutting corners and shirking responsibilities. You are special. Act it. Never neglect the little things.”<br />

We are looking forward to the Coast x Molly pups - Coast is a wsd and Molly a BC, both are health tested and pups are all booked from this litter. Free is also coming into season - lets keep our fingers crossed, I think she could have gorgeous puppies!<br />
<br />
The cottages are booming and we have lots of new interest everyday, thankyou all for your fantastic support.<br />

<br />
But this week I have been rather busy and had to rely on a few others to help me with dogs and it just makes me realise how much I love spending time with my dogs. Fiji and I have loads we want to do but the most important thing to me right now is the 24/7 life skills - I am working on lots of Susan Garretts fantastic programme and with a gentle nudge from Lynda Orton Hill relishing every challenge and hoping I can improve my own dog training skills to become a better dog trainer and gain a better understanding of what we are looking for as dog trainers.<br />
<br />
I have had some fantastic emails, cards, phone calls and messages over the last week - Brooke has had numerous places and at least 2 wins, Boss is looking gorgeous, Cove has moved into G2 already and Chillis's mum sent me a really lovely email saying how pleased she is with her and how clever the little chilli bean is - this is fab as she was quite a sensitive girly in the litter so I am so pleased that her nnatural aptitude for work is showing - I just love this Popi / Reef mating. They are cracking and I think their shape is far better than the first Devongem litter and are much more the 'type' I would like to be breeding. <br />
<br />
So pleased that everyone is so happy and doing so well, keep up the fantastic work, I am so pleased you are happy guys, I certainly am. <br />

Reef and her played so nicely :)<br />
<br />
Then we moved over to the show and Tiki doing her first ever kc run, in a class of 200 she was 5th behind two of my customers :):) Tiki really looked like she knew her job, I was dead proud of her, she then had 3 runs of 5 faults and another clear and 6th in a class of 200 again. I know she is a very small bc and only just measures large but I am going to try my hardest to get the best out of her as she is desperately trying to get the best out of me - more running lessons me thinks! <br />
<br />
Then Riot - he is a different kettle of fish, powerful and very strong minded - his weaves and contacts are looking fantastic - he just needs some more self control! He did compete last year and has definately gone up a gear! He is a gorgeous build and I am very tempted to put him to free later this year. <br />
<br />
Then cove :):) fern has chatted to me about struggling with him but this weekend he decided it was all ok - he had 1st, 2 x 2nds, and lots of other places - brilliant brilliant !! Well done fern and cove you guys have a lovely relationship. <br />
<br />
Then Brooke - I didn't see her work but LInda is a lovely owner for her and I am sure they will do well. I did snuggle her in Lindas van though - cute!<br />
<br />
<br />
I did manage to also see bandit, chilli, zing and a few others around the rings. It really is funny to see them all - I can't wait to have our next litter, we have some amazing homes lined up, some really lovely people and all customers ! <br />
<br />
I also saw ali& niks Jack, mickey and a few others. I have to say I am not a White factor fan but Mick is just lovely. And Jack is a gorgeous shape and very worky. I also saw 5 from Clover x Reef! 5 is officially mental but then sam and Tom seem to make all of their dogs crazy, she is so funny and very very playful but sam was working really hard on other games too. And then the baby devongems - ditto, dare and rock - I do have to say they are all gorgeous and really playful, I saw all three around the rings tugging like troopers and focusing beautifully, all three looked stunning. I can't wait to see RHyme too - Dave MUnnings says he is stunning! <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi6-RXgE4pVH7j7l_kYjlSD0LYkDI_T0e7k_50kicZA3zVsKTzDlCP2tm7zbH1otOHDxn2LXAPvcSTkAPAx9_D4JGfExtuOtbfIKTZwrBU46SuAoqbYeSd2olhs177J04EkRPk5Db94xb/s1600/DF+Pup+Reunion+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisi6-RXgE4pVH7j7l_kYjlSD0LYkDI_T0e7k_50kicZA3zVsKTzDlCP2tm7zbH1otOHDxn2LXAPvcSTkAPAx9_D4JGfExtuOtbfIKTZwrBU46SuAoqbYeSd2olhs177J04EkRPk5Db94xb/s320/DF+Pup+Reunion+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Lastly I saw boss - he has to be the dog that reminds me most of reef - scopey and big, reef has really come out in this litter and the stride length is phenomenal - I think dave will do brilliantly with him.<br />
<br />
Lastly Fiji La and her sisters :) I LOVE MY PUPPY :):) and all of her litter - gorgeous :) I will add more pictures asap - they are on my FB pages :)<br />

<br />
Training is going really well, we have some great dogs and handlers at the moment and it is FABULOUS watching their partnerships develop. I love how everyone of them is different yet all are working and achieveing their goals - take Vivienne, her dogs do running contacts, have brilliant work ethic but wont tug. Alexis on the other hand, her dog has good tug, stop contacts and again a brilliant work ethic and then there is Gary, stop contacts, great tug, lovely work ethic and a newer handler - all are achieving so much and have already been out there doing well this year. It is such a pleasure to be part of all of these relationships. I love the creative ideas we are developing and enjoy the challenge of their differences - I mean how else can you handle your dog from a distance eh Jan?<br />
<br />
This weekend we have our first shows of the year, we are lucky enough not to be camping as we live so close and it means the other dogs can stay at home with their fantastic fairy godmother :)<br />
<br />
New Wednesday evening workshops are just coming out - make sure you look at these. They are almost full and have only been out for a few days :)<br />
<br />
Look forward to seeing you all soon,<br />

Matt and Riot won 3 jumpings last year and Tik ran two classes at UKA and both dogs did really well so it will be interesting to see how they get on in competition however for now we are really enjoying training them. We havent really entered and camping shows together until after Easter so we shall look forward to those :)<br />

Sometimes you need to just take it all in your stride and allow yourself a second to enjoy the proc world aness. We are all chasing a similar dream in the agility world and sometimes we are trying so hard we forget what its really about. <br />
<br />
I have really enjoyed hearing from Jon and Rock recently as well as Dan &Ditto. They seem to have such lovely, natural fun with their pups - you guys are a pleasure. Both G2&3 handlers yet inspirational. I have also seen some great progree from Zing recently, have loads of contact with Dave with Boss and I continue to have regular contact with Brooke. <br />
<br />
Other pups are also making great progress I hear and I personally cant wait to see some of them out and about at shows :)<br />

I am in love with this pup, mainly because she is just the prettiest thing alive (I AM NOT BIASED) and she has fitted in really nicely except for her cat fettish - the cats think she is hilarious, she thinks the cats are sheep! <br />
<br />
The other Devongems are working hard at the moment and Spring is in the air and I have to say everyone is feeling rather positive. The Devongem HQ are really coming together. <br />
<br />
On another note we are having Susan Garrett coming to stay - oh we have our work cut out here, it is a hive of activity and we are constantly trying to improve Bowerland. <br />
<br />
Hoping that you are all having a lovely start to the Spring,<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am definately proud of the pups progress :) It is lovely having litters with some great owners who love their pups and the best bit has to be the pleasure of training some of these guys :) I honestly love that bit. Above is Brooke and below is Rock. Fern was at Stretcholt with Cove too and I have also seen Rhyme at Bowerland and Newhall and Ditto too - Dan is hoping to bring her to Bowerland too sometime to work on play and motivation - NOT that she needs it she is MAD! She is definately the most confident pup I have bred! Zing is now weaving and Devo was down last week looking very grown up - Mark is aiming high this year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Curiosity has its own reason for existing.What a fun week :) The Devongem dogs have had lots of training, Coast has been to two new venues and the pup is out and about - great excuse for the pub! She has also decided that she does not officially require any fluffy doorstops in the house, in fact she will deal with them - no questions asked!<br />
<br />

She is 7 weeks and full of it, I really hope she stays that way. <br />
<br />
With regards to work/training and the balance we are just about managing the juggling act but there is a lot going on. We have so many up and coming workshops etc but the one I am most excited about is the Greg Derrett seminar - please try to come to this. It should be fantastic!<br />
<br />
The Devongem dogs had a great day today walking with Gemma Hanekoms dogs, Jo Richardson and her dogs, Neil and Jules and a lot of mud! It is great to be able to take time out and enjoy living here. It is also a fantastic way to end a training day!<br />
<br />
Lastly more socialising - we are off to the pub - again, not Fiji but us adults - great fun :)<br />

What a credit to those dogs and thier owners, gorgeous. <br />

<br />
An exciting time here at the Devongem Kennel - Fiji is coming home. I am really excited about having a gorgeous pup, I really can't believe I am allowed to have her, I loved her at two days old, she was the one, that pulled my heart strings, a very exciting prospect - I have always wanted a perfectly marked BC with an easy going way - lets hope she is as she seems - I am sure she will be. <br />

Lots of border collies and soon to arrive Fiji (see Lauren Langman training blog) in the Bowerland fields and Woodlands - oh what fun! <br />
<br />
I feel sad we will not be having Spring pups BUT on the plus side we can concentrate on our youngsters who are all training up to compete this year, we are investing a lot of time in our fantastic customers and young dogs right now - great fun! I am also amazed that all of the people on Frees list want to stay put - they all want a free puppy - lovely :)<br />
<br />
Reefs pups are looking great - Mandy's 8 pups look like they will be a real handful - bust already and Gemmas pups are JUST WOW! I cant wait to have cuddles.<br />
