Ellie-May (Cilgwri Lady Elinor) (Ellie-May's whelping log)
This is Ellie-May (initially called Ellie but then renamed Ellie-May after the pretty one in the film the Beverly Hillbillies!) born 17th December 2002 and she is the daughter of our Grace.
She has been shown a bit and has been reasonably successful, seldom out of the top two, as she is a very good looking hound particularly about the head, which is almost the Bloodhound ideal... Showing however has never been her favourite occupation she much prefers the leisurely life at home. When we had our last litter she was really fantastic with the puppies so we have great hopes of her as a caring mother.

We plan a maitng with Elli-May when she next coems into season - around late Spring/early Summer with summer puopies...hopefully! . The father is Chami (Ch Chami Truffe Medievale) who is a lovely dog -and both a Champion and a Senior trialing hound - (we aim to breed 'dual purpose' hounds) and a perfect match for Ellie-May. Both Ellie-May and Chami have temperaments to die for and look super together - a match made in heaven?And the puppies should all be Liver and Tans like mum and dad....

We are starting to put together our list of potential owners and vetting those new to the breed and we already have quite a lot of interest which is very good at this early stage.
