During a trip to Crufts and the St. Patrick's Day Show in Dublin, I managed to visit Claire Anne and Maurice Ahern, of Pipstrelle fame. I was made to feel very welcome in their home and before the day was over, I owned Pipstrelle Sierra Sue. Susie was in season, but not ready to breed so I left her there and she was bred to Pipistrelle Nooky Booky and she was sent over later. About five weeks after she arrived in America, Susie presented three puppies.
