My name is Enid Lake and I live on the Isle of Skye, NW Scotland, so my dogs are country dogs. As I have severe asthma I do not work them for shooting but I do obedience training, to keep them on their toes.

   My dog is Glen and my bitch is Jodie, both Kennel Club Registered pedigree English Springer Spaniels (liver and white) from famous field trial lines. I will only take one litter from Jodie in 2008, about eight pups which should be ready for homing in late Spring. My kennel name is Sgurr (meaning the peak in Gaelic) and pedigree names are taken from the Scottish hills.

   My pups are reared in a home environment and Jodie is an excellent mother. I ensure that the pups are well socialized with people, dogs and other animals before they leave us. My aim in breeding is to produce healthy pups with excellent temperament suitable as either working dogs or country companions.
