Last but certainly by no means least is my long-suffering husband, Brian. Considering he didn't ever grow up with animals, he is doing very well to now live with 14 Golden retrievers! Brian is a tremendous support to me with all I am endeavouring to achieve with my dogs. He took early retirement in 2006 after working for 38 years for the same employer. I don't think he has ever worked as hard as he does here at Barnsgold though! Brian is a Cornwall League Cricket Umpire, and is very pleased that the cricket season is almost upon us again. As well as enjoying cricket, Brian sings with the Burraton Male Voice Choir, Serves at St Nicholas & St Faith Church, and is on the P.C.C. We have, and continue to, build and maintain many areas together around the property, in an attempt to make everything the best it can be for the dogs - I must stress though that we don't use kennels here as we want our 'family' with us, as they are companion dogs, and not suited to kennels. I am very grateful for all Brian's support, and wish him a very happy, successful and enjoyable 2008 cricket season, as do all the dogs!

Well unfortunately the 2008 cricket season was a bit of a wash-out, but indoor league has started in ernest, so thankfully Brian is a happy bunny again! Phewwww!! Hope you enjoy it Umps x
