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.

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”

Eira has been a busy girl, attending both puppy and ringcraft classes, going to hydro sessions with Lottie, and swimming and going on the hydro treadmill. She’s attended a couple of shows, and been in the show ring once. SheContinue reading “Eira at 5 months”
