Waldmeister Bruno and Waldmeister Carlos, owned and loved by Harriet and Robin, made us all very proud by passing the KC Good Citizen Bronze award on Friday 27th March 2009!!!  An excellent achievement for 2 young, headstrong, hunting dogs!  In June 2009, the boys both achieved their Silver awards, proving that dedication and consistent training can have startling results!!  Well done Harriet!!

Well done also to Jackson (below), who gained his Bronze Good Citizen Award for his new owners, Kate and John - truly versatile dachshunds!
