Hope you are all well, just a few photos of Anya - not good one sorry. I have been slack and these are the only photos I
have of Anya at the moment they were taken last week, she is a typical Zippo child - very energetic these days LOL.
We hope to get some good photos of the pups this weekend as it is their first show. Cheers, Coralee ** New Zealand

Our dear Thornapple Family member, Jayne Holligan, has moved to the Lake District in England.
Jayne shares photos of her new home, her friend, Alan's, sheep farm and Buttermere Lake. Jayne tells us
they have their own language in the Lake District!
" ... when they stand and talk to one another I have to ask them to translate !!!!! They talk what I can only
describe as old English .. its a very native dialect with its own spelling too !!!! Alan's dad got one of his
signs made into a postcard thats sold to tourists ---it says"
Beware Lams Ont Road !
They have words like
Ratching ( we say ferreting .. which means looking around )
Liggin means Lying down
Gimmer is a female
Laal - Little
Ont - On The
Wid - with

Jayne lives the simple life!

My name is Bohunka Huňková and I'm from Czech Republic. I'm dog fancier,
exactly Australien Shepherd.In our breeding kennel we hawe 6 aussies.
In my kennel was born the first litter of aussies in Czech Republic under FCI.
I decided to write you, because I very admire your breeding. Aussies from
your kennel are exemplar for me. I hope, that my dreams come truth and one day
I will have a dog from your breeding kennel at home.I also writing these mail, becouse
I want to send you the photos of my puppys, which are after CH. THORNAPPLE AFTERSHOCK
,,Diablo" and after my female BONNY SUE PUELLA FERA. All are train up in my kennel. But
I think, that Bitta has informed you. Diablo is beautiful dog and also big personality. I hope,
that all puppys will be as successful as their father Diablo. They are all now with their new owner,
who will take them to the show and doing dog sports with them. The only female from these litter
stayed in my kennel. Amount in full were born 4 puppys, 3 dogs and 1 girl. I'm sending to you their
photos in supplement. With kind regards, Bohunka

Not too shabby for a puppy who Amy entered in a few shows for ring experience! Glamour needs 1 single point to finish hers!)

WOW, HUGE CONGRATS, Marie!!! WAY TO GO!

Okay, so I know I am totally pulling a 'retail holiday season' which is out WAY too far in advance...
but I just had to share these. We have been chosen to do the cover image of a magazine and they are
setting the October issue ... hence our 'Super Festive Dogs'. Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend! Ami (Romanelli)

OH MY, what we will do for a biscuit!!!!
Thank you for sharing, Ami! You make Labor Day special!

This past Saturday, Jake and Riot joined their pals Diesel and Major (And of course Dianne and Erica
Escalada) and Jake's daughter from the first Chante x Jake litter (Thornapple Shaken Not Stirred) Abby on
Palm Beach Island for a day of surf and sand. Abby is quite the swimmer and retriever. It was wonderful
to get to spend time relaxing with Abby and her family. She really is a beautiful moving bitch... so clean
coming and going and at the side, even on the loose sand. She has nice neck and shoulder layback and a rock
solid topline. She is everything I hope these current babies grow up like. She is playful and outgoing... has a great toy
drive. Nikki really loves her and keeps her in great condition. They are doing really well in the agility classes also!
Thank you for the update on Abby, Ami! (photo credits Ami Romanelli) Ami has a full repeat litter of
Jake & Chante babies at home. Photos coming very soon!

Father Daughter Fun in the Surf!

Hello, Here some pictures and his - Sydor's - first agility lesson, this likes he very much.
Everybody loves him, and many people said, we will have a dog from Thornapple too.
He is so beautiful and together with Easton and their bleu eyes, they steal the show here. Petra

Puppy Update from Nikki Hengy!
The chunky monkeys, er puppies!!, are growing by leaps and bounds!
We managed to take a quick break from the Milk Wagon (Misty) for
the Week One Photo Shoot. Personalities are coming out, I can't say
for enough how pleased I am with this litter. The little boy, Zander,
sure favors his daddy, Cruzan!! Jolie loves to eat - it's her favorite
thing in the world. Tia is like big sister, Zoe - a true princess. Zara
is the sweetheart and loves to be held. Zuni is the adventuresome one
- into everything and loves to explore! Take a gaze at the babies for
some virtual puppy breath. Enjoy!
