First time we’ve been to LKA, and I love that it’s at Stafford, so much closer to home than the NEC! Eira was in Minor Puppy B, and came first in a strong class. She was much more settled, and on a new snake chain, gold rose coloured to compliment her liver spots. She copedContinue reading “Ladies Kennel Association Champ Show”

Mini photoshoot
When we were at the Sedgley and Gornal show we had the opportunity to have a photoshoot with Eira. She wasn’t there stillest puppy, but we love the results … She really is a pretty girl 💜🤍🤎
British Utility Breeds Association Champ show
Yesterday I took Eira and Seren to BUBA, first time managing the two girls on my own, but it all went smoothly. Eira was up first, having 2 classes, Minor Puppy Bitch and Novice Bitch. She nearly sent me flying in Minor Puppy, her movement was all over the place and rushed, so we didn’tContinue reading “British Utility Breeds Association Champ show”
A few critiques
CITY OF BIRMINGHAM – 2025 DALMATIAN Vd (2,1) 1 Wallington, Sophtspot In The Zone Nicely marked, with a good head and expression. Pleasing body and bone with a nice flow of neck into a good topline.

A couple of Open shows
We took Eira to Darwen Canine society’s Premier Open show last weekend. She was the only girl in the class, and behaved really well. Sadly the ring was tiny so she couldn’t settle into her stride. She got placed 2nd, so I was over the moon with her. We went to Sedgley and Gornal’s premierContinue reading “A couple of Open shows”

North of England Champ show
Only Eira was entered, and unfortunately she still has issues when being presented to the judge, so no placing for her. She was better than the last show and happy to say hello to lots of people.
British Dalmatian Club Champ show
Lottie took Eira to Eira’s first champ show. It was a big entry, so loud and echoey. Eira was in a big minor puppy class and unfortunately was spooked so didn’t stand for the judge. she looked fab in the line up and ran well. Lottie was in her first class as a veteran andContinue reading “British Dalmatian Club Champ show”
Handling class
Eira and I attended a handling class run by Marina White. It was a 2 hour workshop but quite intensive for both Eira and myself. We learned a few tips and have come away feeling quite confident about starting Eira’s show career.
Hydrotherapy
Eira has been having some fun swim and hydro treadmill sessions. She doesn’t need them, but I want her get used to them in case she needs hydrotherapy treatment in the future. Whilst she’s a bit vocal she doesn’t need them love these sessions, maybe a bit too much!! She loves splashing rather than swimmingContinue reading “Hydrotherapy”
