You are comfy, Mum!
Within any pack situation there is a hierarchy and Carolyne is
definitely top Bitch
(Alasdair would say in more ways than one!!)
All the dogs know who is boss when Carolyne walks into the kennels, but she has a form of empathy, and total respect with them.
She can almost read their minds at time and
they obey her without her even
saying a word to them,
sometimes it just takes a look from her.
Fascinating to watch.

Carolyne and Alasdair breed, exhibit & work
Beagles, English Foxhounds & German Shepherds under the
'Haughmill' affix.
Carolyne and Alasdair have owned and bred
German Shepherds for over 30 years and Beagles for nearly 25 years.
German Shepherds, Foxhounds and Beagles have been in Carolyne's
family for over 100 years, so the Dog World has really
been a way of life for Carolyne since she was a small child, with one
side of the family having 4 generations of Chief Whipper-ins for the Hunt and
on the other side a Grand-father who bred and exhibited GSD's,
along with Carolyne's Great Aunt Cissie, who is 101 this year.
(and still makes her opinion on current breeding plans known!)
Carolynes love for the breed has never dwindled,
introducing Alasdair, whos background was Terriers,
to the Beagles & GSD breed when they married in 1983.
Now adding training classes for Ringcraft and Behavior
each week in the grounds of 'Haughmill'.

Haughmill Kennels were originally established in 1983
at Petterden nr Dundee with a high reputation for its show beagles.
It ran for 13 years breeding some of the top Beagles in Scotland.
At that time German Shepherds were always around but for
companionship and work and not exhibiting.
After the years went by Carolyne and Alasdair took a sabbatical,
during which time they moved to Mallorca and opened
a bar/restaurant but they missed their families
(AND the British weather) so much that they returned to Scotland.
Now Haughmill has been re-established near Polmont, Stirlingshire for English Foxhounds, Beagles and German Shepherds.

They currently have only a small number of
carefully screened Beagles,
Foxhounds and German Shepherds, but knowing Carolyne's passion for canines, this number will rise.
Carolyne is at her best mucking out the kennels and many a day is found just sitting in amongst them, ALWAYS taking photographs of her beloved dogs too!!

Haughmill Show Team 2010

Haughmill is a privately ran Show kennel.
We are not a commercial breeding establishment.
We are not a commercial breeding establishment.
The Winter of 2009/2010 brought the worst or best, depending on how one looks at it, snow for nearly 25 years.
I personally thought it was brilliant as it gave me the opportunity to get the camera out and let some of the dogs run wild and have loads of fun in the drifts.
Click the link below to see some of the 'thousands' of photographs which were taken during this rather chilly spell.
Hope you enjoy them as much as I did when I took them.
