In the beginning

This is the story of Wicket, our Gordon Setter bitch (Latchmere The Enigma). She is currently three years old, and three weeks pregnant, but this is not the beginning. It all began when Wicket was born, due to complications at birth she had to have her tailed docked. The Mutton family gained Wicket, when friend and breeder (Carol) asked, if we could have her.

At a young age we knew wicket was special.

Wicket The Enigma
Just like any other young pup, she was special, our young Wicket was always to be heard and seen! How Wicket gained her name: she was nicknamed Stumpy or Stumps by the breeder's partner (Dean), and the Mutton Family (I.e Mud-mum) are raving cricket fans so the natural progression began.

Carol and Mud-mum always expressed, a wish to see Wicket mated. All tho Wicket cannot be shown (due to missing tail), she has the potential. We looked through many possible Sires, for our lovely and energetic Wicket. And was left with only two choices. 

Wicket was mated to Jethro (Aust CH Deveron Easier Said Than Done). A rather funny ordeal all tho Wicket doesn't believe so. The Mutton Family are all waiting for the little horrors to arrive. To finish this beginning of the start to new life heres a picture of a very un-happy Wiki!

"Not happy Jan!!"
