CRAFTY KENNELS

This week I took a trip over to Galway to visit the Crafty Kennels.............

Shane gave me instructions.....".go left at T.....along on left by big trees.....our house has a red door"

At the front of the House is a impressive gallop

And a field thats just been re-seeded with a new gallop

I couldnt help thinking this would make a fine coursing ground

The whole place is set in 50 acres of walled estate

At one time derelict....bit by bit a renovation is going on

Id say this is one very hard working family......nothing was out of place

The kennels are spotless and as fine a set up you would see anywhere

kennels and feed room downstairs

With treatment room and more kennels upstairs

Noelle feeds best meat, bred and vegetables

and the whole kennel had super backs and gleaming coats

The pups have a constant run of large fields.....they swop fields on a regular basis to keep them interested
