Meet The Gang!!

Ivy House Farm, in addition to being the 'hub' of Dave Yates Cycles & Engineering is a smallholding of just under 4 acres. With lots of space Dave & Debbie's menagerie is ever increasing - here are a few of 'The Gang.'

After winning Best of Breed at Crufts in 2000, Birdie, a.k.a. Sh Ch Kazval Cage aux Folles came to 'retire' at Ivy House Farm. (She is Duggie's aunt)

 

Why try to do a job yourself when you have 2 willing 'helpers' ?

 

Proud parents (Molly and Wally) out for a stroll with their offspring, who, like most babies - eat a lot, drink a lot and look cute (below)
