I would like to introduce myself and tell you about myself.

My Name is Linda Walsh dogs have been a part of my life, for as long as I can remember. My father kept G.S.D's, Collies we also had Chow, a St Bernard and racing Greyhounds. We lived on a farm on the outskirts of London in the 60's.

I bred my first litter of Border Collies at the time they where not recognised by the Kennel Club for showing. My first job was working with racing Greyhounds, in 1974 I started breeding and showing German Shepherds and my first bitch was called Balacents pippa-Dee and this is where the Pippaway affix came from.

The bitch was a gorgeous black with a little bit of gold, we called her Witch. Witch was the start of a wonderful life, 27 years of lovely temperaments, lots of love.

In 2001 I was asked by a breeder of Newfoundlands if they could name a new puppy after Witch, I felt honoured. After all these years someone still remembered a wonderful bitch.

In the 80's I fell in love with the Japanese Spitz, I then went on to owning German Spitz, Standard Longhaired Dachshunds and of cause the American Cocker Spaniel.

I share this passion with my daughter Sarah.

I have Judged G.S.D's, Cocker Spaniels, American Cocker Spaniels, German Spitz, Japanese Spitz, and all varieties of Dachshunds.
