Golden Oldies
SULA
Nedlezah Ae Fond Kiss
(CH Eyevalley Cannyman JW x Nedlezah Muck)
11/02/2006 – 05/12/2019
Sula was a wonderful little Bitch, whose mother was Muck,Nedlezah Muck.
Full of mischief and a great escape artist – she could jump anything! She constantly wagged her tail and put on a funny smiley face! She loved her home comforts and was the first to sneak into the house.
Sula went to Crufts in 2007 and had her first litter with Paddie – Ch Lovehayne Quentin, Jw in January 2008. She wasn’t shown again. Her Son, Nedlezah Stay My Charmer at Cranngary “Robbie” is shown extensively by Gail Greig (Cranngary) and with great success.
Sula had a litter of pups on 18th April 2010 to “Jamie” Largymore Galeas Salazar 3 Boys & 2 Girls. They all went to lovely forever homes apart from one little Girl “Gunna” who stole my heart and remained here with her mother. Sula was a Granny many times over and liked nothing better than to lie in the whelping box with her Grandchildren or in fact with any puppies!
Bute
Nedlezah Golden Mission
(Rigerin Missionary Man x Nedlezah McKay)
09/08/2006 – 24/02/2018
Bute was from Gigha’s last litter and was deep golden in colour, unlike her mum. She was very like her Dad “Doyle” who sadly passed away in 2008. She was a lively bitch with a beautiful nature. Bute was not shown during 2009, as she became a Mum in April 2009 and produced 10 beautiful pups.Bute produced her second litter of lovely pups on Tuesday 22nd March 2011 by “Jamie” Largymore Galeas Salazar, 4 Girls & 7 Boys. Rum from this litter is being shown by Cathy McShane (Rigerin) and qualified for Crufts 2015 and now has achieved his Stud Book number.
Mull
Nedlezah Lochy
(Bluebraes Falcon x Nedlezah Muck)
07/05/2004 – 27/01/2018
“Mull” was a fantastic girl – very unlike her Mum, Muck in looks but had a very gentle likeable nature. She had beautiful offspring and her daughter, Rough and Granddaughter, Eday stay here at Blacklaw. Rough and Mull were so alike and were constantly mistaken for each other. Mull showed for many years and even qualified for Crufts up until last year. She was a dear old lady and will never be forgotten.
Rhum
Nedlezah Rhum
(Darrochonna Sullivan x Braemal Bliss)
05/04/1999 – 01/09/2012
‘Rhum’ was the daughter of Paddy and litter sister of Gigha. Totally different in every way but a total character. He entered the show ring as a pup but it quickly became evident that he was not a ‘Crufts’ contender!!! He enjoyed himself from then on at home. He chased all the girls about but was never able to sire a litter!! We miss him greatly.
Muck
Nedlezah Muck
(Weirston Hot Shot x Nedlezah McKay)
2001 – 2011
Muck was born on 30th July 2001 and was the daughter of “Gigha” . She died very tragically on the 2nd November 2011. Muck was without doubt the most personable dog I have ever owned and most definitely knew exactly what was going on around her and within our family. She sensed when situations were good and bad and always had something to add to our conversations. Muck was a wonderful mother to Sula and Mull and her death has left an enormous hole in our hearts.
Paddy
Braemal Bliss
(Hazelden Handsome Talker x Dalnacarro Dreamgirl)
1995 – 2008
Paddy was a lovely old Girl who sadly died on 16th July 2008. She was born on 15th July 1995. I owned her father, Hazelden Handsome Talker (Santoyre Sweet Talking Gal x Sansue Royal Fling of Darrochonna). Paddy had three lovely litters and was my foundation Bitch. She was the mother of “Gigha” and “Rhum”, who were from the same litter, and “Eigg”, who died on the 14th July 2009, two days before his mother.
Gigha
Nedlezah McKay
(Darrochonna Sullivan x Braemal Bliss)
1999 – 2009
“Gigha” was the daughter of Paddy and litter sister of Rhum. They were totally different in nature – Gigha having been blessed with all the brains and Rhum with none!! Gigha was a wonderful mum and had several litters out of which we kept “Muck” Nedlezah Muck (Braemal Bliss x Weirston Hot Shot) and also “Bute” Nedlezah Golden Mission (Braemal Bliss x Rigerin Missionary Man). Her main pastime was digging and seeking out voles and rabbits and she also enjoyed swimming. Gigha had a superb temperament and was very vocal.
Alfie
Hazelden Handsome Talker
(Sansue Royal Fling of Darrochonna x Santory Sweet Talking Gal)
1988 – 2003
“Alfie” was a mischievous happy boy and friend to everybody. He was the proud father of “Paddy” and lived alongside friends “Blair”, “Sydney”, “Hazel” and another of his daughter’s “Frostie” who was from a mating with “Hazel” Hazelden Sweet Talking Gal” (Camrose Early Morn of Braydan x Braydan Spot on) at Hazelden Mains Farm – hence the name!
Blair
Sportsway Handsome
(Sportsway Aurum x Sansue Gideon of Dooneryan)
1975 -1990
Blair was born on 1st September 1975 and was my first Golden Retriever and without doubt ‘Simply the Best’. He was the perfect family member and my first baby! I took him to Dog shows along with my first child who was in a carry-cot and although he and I were totally naive about showing we came home with prizes! He was loved by everyone and known to all in the neighbourhood – He was a true gentleman.
