Sabah's Sensible Home Page

Hi, my housemates call me Sabah but my fancy registered kennel name is Torsinki Swing Time. I was born in the Summer of 2006 and so that makes me the ripe old age of three. I live in my Dorset home with Elsa who is just over a year older than me (although the way she behaves you would think she was two years younger than me).

The rather handsome young dog you can see below is Cooper, also known as Muskan Make My Day. Quite recently Cooper made My day and as a result of this I now have four beautiful puppies, two Sabahs and two Coopers.

The picture of me at the top of the page was taken at the end of July. You may just be able to make out the small bulge in my tummy. Since my puppies have arrived I have completely regained my figure

This is a whole new venture for me although I did have quite a lot to do with raising Elsa's ten puppies a couple of years ago.

Day Seven

It certainly takes it out of you. There may only be four of them but they seem to have adopted a shift system as far as mealtimes go. No sooner has one finished than the next one comes along. I have been going out for the occasional walk but I don't really like to go too far. I got into trouble last night when I went out with Elsa. I found this very interesting smelly spot on the grass up the road so I did what dog's naturally do - I rolled in it. In fact I'd had a few quick rolls in it before I was spotted. You should have heard the commotion he caused. I went home in disgrace and had to be shampooed before they would let me back into the house. I heard him say that it was some old cooking fat that I rolled in. I swear blind that I didn't see a cat anywhere near me.

Day Two

It's not often that you come back from the vets with more than you went with. A lot of the chaps I meet have said that the reverse is very often true, although what they mean by that I'm not sure. Anyway I had a bit of a problem with my puppies a few days ago and to cut a long story short, I took the easy way out and had (sorry it's my dinner time so I will have to leave this 'til later).

These pictures of Cooper were kindly supplied by his owners, Mr & Mrs Frank (when you put your mouse pointer over the image it will change).

Cooper is a very handsome young dog and does very well in the show ring. He has been awarded his Junior Warrant along with Best in Show (BIS) at the Cornwall Gundog Club Show, BIS at the United Retriever Club Autumn Show and Reserve BIS at the Golden Retriever Club of Wales Show.

The picture below is of me when I first came to live with my new owners in Dorset.

This next picture is of me on one of my holidays last year. I had found this rather juicy and smelly bog in the Pentland Hills in Scotland. My owner wasn't best pleased because we were about three hours away from clean water at the time and it was quite a warm day too!!
