Guess the breed! This puppy came in to see us today. Can anyone guess what breed of puppy this is?
Well done to those that correctly said Hovawart!

I have a new assistant today “helping” me with my paperwork. Tiggy 😂😂

3067 meters climbed – and 3067 meters descended which is tough going on the knees! 1071 miles driven by 3 dedicated drivers 124 litres of water drunk (kindly donated by Swithland Water https://www.swithlandspringwater.co.uk/) 27 Climbers with the age range between 11 and 53, this weekend successfully completed the National 3 Peaks Challenge to raise funds for the Matt Hampson Foundation and The Cinnamon Trust. We left Chine House on Friday afternoon for the long journey to Fo...rt William. Absolutely stunning scenery on the way up and watching the sun set over the Scottish mountains. After our very late evening meal it was off to bed and then up again for 6am breakfast. A short drive to the base of Ben Nevis and our climbers were ready for the off at 7am. As the first climbers arrived back at base, we became aware of an injury to one of our team, Jess had fallen badly and injured her ankle and was unable to walk. It was touch and go if we were going to call Mountain Rescue – Martin ran down to the Mini Buses for the first aid kit and ran back to Jess with bandages and strapped her ankle. The decision was made to get the remaining climbers into 2 of the buses and head towards Scafell Pike. One bus remained and Martin and David got Jess down to the bus and then headed off to try and catch up – unfortunately they were just too far behind to make Scafell so headed to our next scheduled stop to meet up with the team before heading to Snowdon. Although we were a little behind schedule due to traffic and limited speed on the mini buses the challenge was completed when the team arrived in Llanberis after climbing Snowdon. A very tired lot then made our way home to Chine House where we received a hero’s welcome from family and friends, and special thanks to Annie and Leo Manger for their fantastic welcome home posters. The last photos are of our team and what they did when they got home (after showering!) – as you can see most of us missed our furry friends and a decent meal, oh and perhaps the odd glass of wine! Jess had in fact broken her ankle and is now wearing a very dashing moon boot! Chine House would like to thank all our supporters who have helped us smash our £3000 target! With the cash donations still coming in we’re hoping to reach £6000 which is absolutely phenomenal! https://www.justgiving.com/cro…/chineho useveterinaryhospital

No signals around Snowdon so just getting chance to post now of the ascent to the top. There will be some very sore people tomorrow but so we’ll done for achieving this enormous challenge. Thank you again to everyone that donated it’s really motivated the team tremendously. 🙏 🙏🙏 https://www.justgiving.com/cr…/chinehou seveterinaryhospital…

Update. Drivers are at base camp of snowdon waiting for team Chine to finish the challenge. Unfortunately one of the team had a bad fall on Ben Nevis and suspected torn ligaments in her ankle. Ouch! Jess was about a mile from reaching the bottom of Ben Nevis. It was touch and go if we were going to call mountain rescue to get her down. Not all heroes wear capes... Martin ran down picked up some bandages and ran back up to strap Jess’s ankle then helped her down the mountain. Everyone is good if not a little tired. Thank you again for your kind donations we’ve smashed it.
