When we were catching up with all of our 'Paoates Puppy News' a very smart little lady- Jessie Fitzpatrick- thought it would be a good idea for her puppy 'Bessie' to meet her litter mates............

This idea snowballed somewhat and resulted in todays walk. Most of you had at least an hours drive... some nearly 2. To have such a large gathering of cockers, and people who had never met before today, was overwhelming. The cockers, as expected took it all in their usual busy pace and the children were perfect!

We hope you all enjoyed the day. Special thanks to Tony who helped us plan the walk, created the video and ' had a word' with Kent Highways regarding the road closure!

A personal thankyou from me to Mr Rafter and Holly for carrying little Erin the last leg of the walk....she was so worn out and would have gone home with you!! We have uploaded a few photos and a video
