Flinthill Monty Don was born on February 4, 2009. His mother is our Thyme (Sh Ch Flinthill Wild Thyme JW) and his father is Helga Edmondson and Cicely Robertshaw’s black and white dog, Crookrise Floyd.

Monty and his sister, Daisy (Flinthill Daisychain) are real partners in crime and spend hours playing rough and tumble together. There’s even more fun and games when his brothers and sister, Wendy and Bruce Chaplin’s Sebastion (Flinthill Borage), Barbara Wilkinson’s Tia (Flinthill Forget Me Not) and the Patterson family’s Theo (Flinthill Turfmaster) come to visit!

Monty loves being in the show ring and we were delighted when he went best puppy at Leadgate Dog Club match night aged five months.
