This is Part One of the story - Our story A to Z - wth some lovely photos!!

When we had our first Border Terrier litter we decided to name the puppies each with a name starting with A.   

Each following litter was then to increment to the next letter of the alphabet.  
Our story begins with A and now is up to Z.  The alphabet is now complete. 
If you want the full story go to the bottom of this page and work up but if you want the current information first start with the litter appearing below.  We will update as we have more puppies.

Our T Litter was born 19th December 2005, just after our S litter (see below) and we were still grieving when Chandi went into labour.  She had a rough start to her labour but gave us 3 live puppies - 1 boy and 2 girls.  Chandi helped raise Quecha's puppies as well as her own.  What a wonderful mother she is.    Sire:Ch Guilcroft Dom perignon X Dam:Ch Guilcroft Moet Chandon.  Chandi's puppies are living in the ACT and NSW and are giving their new owners lots of pleasure.

Sire:Ch Guilcroft Play To Win X Dam:Guilcroft Quechabydesign.  After the awful start to their life these puppies flourished with the help of Ch Guilcroft Moet Chandon, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Muffin and an Elkhound named Dolly.
