OUR LOGO      

The logo for the Society was formed after much deliberation and because there were so many "Oaks", "Acorns" or "Pines" we decided upon the mystical "Yew"

The Yew Tree was chosen for what the Yew stands for ...“The symbol of magic “, “To protect “, “For everlasting Life” and the most relevant to our aims ….”The bringer of dreams” which we use as our statement in our logo.

It is said that The Yew Tree was planted and always found, in many a graveyard where the souls of the dead would travel through its roots and upwards through the body and out through the leaves towards heaven, a story which bodes well for training our puppies for a successful career into adulthood - we have had many success stories.   

            Our logo is made up from our name and our statement, The Yew Tree , the Celtic sign for the “Yew” and  the friendship of dogs.    

            Our Society aims to provide a friendly sociable atmosphere in which to train in, a wealth of knowledge within the Society, its members and the committee who are there to help with whatever they can. We really cannot emphasize the importance of a gentle, calm approach to training our puppies at such an impressionable age, as well as the older dog just coming into the showing world. 

Sometimes we may come across a dog that perhaps has a slight behavioral problem which we would find difficult to start its training with the other dogs in the class, if this was the case we would then refer him/her to our resident pet behaviorist to be assessed for what training would be initially most suitable….we would then progress from there. This initial assessment is put in place to ensure that difficult dogs will not disturb the training of our puppies or our more mature show dogs. 

We love our dogs and we love to train and there’s nothing better than watching you get that 1st place rosette with your dog or puppy at a Show, no matter how long you’ve been showing.
