"Fund Raising for Heathlands Animal Sanctuary

Freddie, Tyler and Lacey would like to thank everyone who bought towels and/or bookmarks in aid of Heathlands. A total of £52.50 was collected and a cheque for this amount was sent to Heathlands on December 15th. All the money collected was passed on as the towels and embroidery materials were donated by Carol.

If you would like an embroidered towel in the new year, please ask. Your dog's name can be embroidered on too if you wish. If you or someone you know are looking for a new dog next year, please remember Heathlands have all their dogs on view at www,heathlands.org.uk" or something similar!

One of the best things to happen to me this year was getting this little 'kid' who lives around the edge of the field  to feed from my hand!! .....Alan

I'm often asked how I got started 'in dogs' and what I've done - so I've listed a few bits on 'My Page' - Alan

 

Recipe for Home made Training Treats 

Pilchard Cake
Large tin of Pilchards in tomato sauce
2 eggs
1 tbsp Garlic powder (or 2 fresh cloves crushed)
½ lb Plain flour
½ tbsp Olive oil
Put the Pilchards in a large bowl and mash with a fork then add the eggs, Olive oil, Garlic and flour and mix thoroughly by hand.Split the mixture and spread the first batch thinly onto a large glass flan dish, (or Pyrex plate). Microwave on full power for 6 or 7 minutes, in 2 minutes bursts, turning the mixture a ¼ turn on the turntable each time.If using a conventional oven, preheat to 375F- 190C – Gas mark 5 and bake for about 20 minutes.The mixture should be firm and shrink away from the sides of the dish and easily turn out onto a cake rack to cool. (if sticking, cook longer). When cold, slice into treat sized chunks to use or freeze

Cheese & Garlic Training Treats 
1 cup wholemeal flour
1 cup grated cheese (strong cheddar)
1 tablespoon garlic powder - not garlic salt
1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine
1/2 cup of milk (I use goats)
Mix flour and cheese together - add garlic and soft butter - slowly add milk till you form a stiff dough - (you may not need all the milk)
Kneed on a floured board for a few minutes
Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness
Cut in to pieces and place on ungreased cooking tin
Bake at 180 degrees for 15 minutes
Let cool - till cold and firm - store in air tight container and or fridge.  

Liver & Garlic Training Treats 
Using ox or pigs liver gives the best results.
Place the uncooked liver on a baking tray – sprinkle with Garlic powder (not garlic salt)
Place in the oven at 180 degrees and cook till ‘dry’ – then cut into small pieces add more garlic powder – return to oven and cook slowly – till the liver is hard all the way through.
Let cool, and when cold can be bagged and will keep for weeks.
Can be cooked in a Pyrex dish in a microwave oven - with CARE.
