Many of you have met Vern – our gorgeous Labrador guide dog stud who has already fathered over 30 potential guide dogs (not all in one go, he’s fathered 4 litters so far – so the Guinness Book of Records can relax!).

Some of Vern’s “little ‘uns” are already working guide dogs and his latest litter is just going into training. 

Every Christmas we run a raffle to raise funds for Guide Dogs for the Blind. There are 4,800 guide dogs in the UK – each one making a life changing difference to blind and partially sighted people and their families. 

For every donation of £5 you will receive one entry into our raffle to WIN A 2 NIGHT BREAK AT AVONLEA. If you wish to donate more you will receive an extra entry for each multiple of £5 you donate. PLEASE LEAVE YOUR NAME TO BE ENTERED INTO THE DRAW
