Moving forward.......our 2nd litter
After losing Tess in November 2017, we did continue to show Rosie through 2018 but towards the end of that year, we decided to breed a litter from her.
We spent a lot of time considering suitable stud dogs and eventually agreed to use a dog we had known for a while - since he was a puppy actually - CH BIGGLESWICK SPLASH OF GINGE. He was the top-winning male Stafford in the UK in 2017, with 4 CC's & 2 RCC's

We were absolutely delighted when Rosie gave birth to 3 beautiful puppies on 14th March 2019 - a Girl and 2 Boys.
Here they are at just a few hours old - from left to right - Belle, Frank & Fynn.
Belle was the only Girl in this litter - and the only Girl we had bred - so she was definitely not going anywhere!!
My brother and his partner Jaki had lost Sam - Barielle Black Buccaneer Of Hamason - just a few weeks before our puppies arrived.
They were adamant that they did not want another dog but once Fynn came along, both David and Jaki were smitten and Fynn had found his home - just next door to us!!
That left Frank, who was the absolutely double of his Sire - "H". So Jayne and Karl Lewis, who own H, absolutely fell in love with him and he went to live with them.
Their "pet names" were how we decided on their Kennel Club names:
HAMASON BELLE O'THE BALL
HAMASON TO BE FRANK
HAMASON FYNNBAR FIRECRAKER.
