Islwyn Album

Champion Lodway Lancer of Islwyn

This page is dedicated to the memory of two very special hounds

not forgetting any of our other Bassets with whom we shared our lives and we miss very much, many of whom can be seen on our hounds page.

Here's a selection of photographs we would like to shared with you
All are precious memories which we will treasure as long as we live.
