Red Bitch pup for sale
Hiya
I am looking for a good home for a red shiba bitch "Carol" She is one of Merrys babys. I want a good pet home preferably with no other dogs as she is rather dominant.
Carol isnt quite a year old yet, but she is only a small girl and not big enough for showing. Its such a shame, but its far better she now goes to a home where she will be loved and cared for than sat here (not that I dont love and care for her).

There is a genuine reason for me parting with her. it is not her fault, she has no vices and is a beautiful little girl with a huge personality! but she is a typical shiba girl and likes to be the boss :)

if you are inteested please email me
ros@skiandu.com
or ring me on 01205 461272 after 6pm (but not when Eastenders is on pls )

NOT GUILTY!!
I know many of you have been following the attempts of my X as he took me to court.

Had he have won I would have lost my dogs, my home, my business EVERYTHING.

Whilst I am not going into detail here. I am sure you will all take great pleasure from reading the news which confirms what I have said all along.

I AM NOT GUILTY.

marriage breakups are the worst things to deal with in life. especially where small children are concerned.

You can all rest assured that now afte today. nathaniel (My son), my home and business are all safe and My X cannot lay claim to anything.

its been a hard few months.
Tonight my son, my dogs and I will sleep sound, well and safe.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this.
THANK YOU on behalf of my son, home and dogs!

Stolen shiba FOUND
Just to let you all know that Tahnee the stolen shiba is back home safe and sound.
Thought you might like to know Tahnee has been found safe and well.
Thanks to a poster in the local pet shop, spotted by some young kids today, who just happened to know of a lady who had one of those little dogs, brought to her apparently by some kids on Tuesday night.
Lady brought Tahnee straight round to the pet shop and handed her over.
No more details at the moment.
Once again, please accept my grateful thanks for all your help and support on behalf of Tahnees owner Gill May, she is delighted, and is in floods of tears.

STOLEN SHIBA
Could you please pass the word.
A 9 year old red shiba bitch has been stolen from the back garden of
her home in Cleethorpes.
This happened about 8.30 last night while the bitch was out for her
evening pee.
She is a much loved house dog who is extremely friendly and would
happily go with anyone.
Her owners are distraught and extremely concerned as the litle bitch
suffers from epilepsey. She is spayed so will be no use as a brood
bitch.
If you see anyone walking a fairly plump red shiba, please go up to her
and call "Tahnee" this is her name and she will happily respond.

please call any of these following numbers:
01384 214868
07882115065
07835551690
or email

Update on dogs still looking for homes
Still looking for homes are Bonnie Dyson. Dodoro and Jonesey.
All the remaining dogs are now rehomed subject to collection next week.
Merry, bessie and carol have gone as a group.

Cariad Sadly the decision has been made that as she is ten eyars old its probably in her best interest to Put her to Sleep as no one seems interested in taking on such an old dog. PLEASE come forward if you can give this loving shiba a home as I do not want her to suffer.

The samoyeds are possibly going as a pair as well but this is to be confirmed.

All I can say about this is nathaniel and I will never EVER forgive Daniel for forcing me to do this. Our feelings towards this cannot be put into words. the fact he is forcing me to give up my lifes work and is causing me so much pain is beyond belief that another human can do this to someone else. For someone who prfessed to once have loved me to destroy not only my lifes love, but to cause a little boy so much disappointment as I have to explain to a five year old why his dog and mine all have to go.

All I can say is ROT IN HELL daniel. What goes around comes around. nathaniel and I will be there to watch and gloat as you now gloat over us when it comes to you!

All it will take is for you to make ONE phone call to the police to call this entire thing off and cancell the court case, drop the charges whatever it takes! At least that will show there is some feeling in your cold soul.

I say goodbye to Merry, Bessie and Carol After Wednesday if this stupid court case goes ahead!

Its in your hands Daniel. MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS

SKIANDU KENNELS FORCED TO CLOSE AND SELL UP BY DANIEL
Depending on the outcome of the court case next week I will have my entire kennel of dogs looking for new homes.

My X husband is forcing me into this. He wasnt satisfied with ruining my life. he realised I still had my dogs and he knows that they are the one thing I live for.
Thanks to him insisting on going ahead it looks as though my lifetimes work will come to an end.

Dogs looking for homes are..
ILLIA (Arianrhod komia Ilia) male samoyed. I am sure this lad will make champion, he just needs someone to take him on and do what I have been unable to do due to other commitments.

Summer (Syanaria summer sumphony) Samoyed bitch. A superb personality. From the best lines in the UK. I think everyone know the syanaria affix!. This one will do any kennel proud.

Carol (Skiandu Spectal Symphony) 5 month old bitch with so much potential. Very outgoing, fantastic movement and a super head. This is a merry/dyson baby so has everything going for her.

Bessie The well known black and tan bitch that did all the winning last year. She has 2 Best in shows and 5 Best puppy in show wins under her belt. This one will go straight to the top. This will be the hardest one to say goodbye to as she is nathaniels own dog, but Daniel is forcing this on us all, so everyone of tem must go

Merry (Steldawn little Songbird for skiandu) The one who was unbeaten (with the exception of marnie) for 2 years running. One of the top bitches in the UK at the moment. Produces superb pups and is a pleasure to live with.

Cariad Bless her this one is the family pet, but no less loving. Ok she has no show potential, but for someone looking to give an older dog a home, then feel free to ask about her.

Dyson. The backbone of my kennel. This lad has sired some superb pups. He is a true gentleman.

Jonesey. What can i say. adorable to the end. This is another fella who in his early years pulled out all the stops to be one of the youngest Best in Show winning shibas.

Dodoro- My white male. As handsome as they come. And gentle too.

Finally Bonnie. A dear sweetheart who needs to be loved and cuddled. a superb house pet loving and not a bad bone in her body. LOVES her toys.

Moving these dogs is breaking my heart. theres only one thing can stop this happening now and thats for Daniel to do, but he wont as all he wants is to destroy me. he KNOWS this is teh one thing I live for and all I live for. How can one human be so unkind heartless and tterly selfish towards another?

I am not allowed to contact daniel in any way directly or indirectly. But I publically appeal here and now for daniel to drop these charges, to search in his cold heart and find something in there to show he has a soul and somehow can find it in him to leave me my dogs
