A Family of Dragons - They would love you all to meet their beautiful baby Dragons. They have several of these delightful creatures, all carefully hatched from their eggs at a small dragon sanctuary in the Welsh Marches. All the dragons are members of the species Draco Occidentalis, the European Dragon, easily recognisable by its familiar shape, graceful movement and enthusiastic love of sausages. Gently handled from hatching, they are friendly to humans and well mannered, although a Dragon is never entirely predictable.
