This was a champ show with the club open show following on from the Champ show judging. Seren was entered in Limit in the champ show. I knows she wasn’t probably going to get placed, but she needs to get back in the ring and start settling down, she’s been quite fidgety. The club openContinue reading “Darlington champ show and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Open show”

Blue litter play date
I love arranging play dates for the puppies, I try to arrange a few up until their 1st birthday. It helps reinforce their sibling bonds and means that they will be ok meeting up over their life times. It also gives the owners a chance to meet, and get to know each other. We haveContinue reading “Blue litter play date”
Puppy photoshoot
Natalie from Hellherder Photography came to do a photoshoot when the pups were 7 weeks old. It was a mayhem!! The pups kept breaking out of the temporary pen, they just wanted to love her and her partner, but we did manage to get some fabulous photos of them all, both individually and in littleContinue reading “Puppy photoshoot”
Eira goes to ringcraft
It’s important that show puppies learn from an early age what to do in the ring, how to stand and move on a show lead. I have been taking Eira to a couple of ringcraft. We were lucky to get on a puppy based ringcraft at Allstars dog training near Crewe. The 4 week courseContinue reading “Eira goes to ringcraft”
City of Birmingham Champ show
We took Mac and Eire along, it was Eira’s first time at a champ show, she went along to get used to being in a crate, and experience the sounds and smells of a show. She had a wander round and even a little go in the ring after the show. Mac was in VeteranContinue reading “City of Birmingham Champ show”

Christmas 2024 with the Spots
It’s been a Christmas with a difference as we have been without Mac, he’s been on his holibobs elsewhere. The girls enjoyed their time in the Lake District, although it was grey and wet. Their Naini spoiled them and Seren got several toys to love. it was very quiet and peaceful, even the pheasants andContinue reading “Christmas 2024 with the Spots”
British Utility Breeds Association Champ Show
The last show of the year for us, and just Mac and Seren. It wasn’t really our day, Mac got a Very Highly Commended, Seren, in the biggest class of the day, wasn’t placed. We are now going to take some time out, have a rest and plan next year’s show schedule.
North of England Dalmatian Club champ show
I took Mac and Seren to the club show, with the damper weather I didn’t want Loodles in a crate all day. The hall was cold and the matting got slippier and slippier as the day went on. Both showed their socks off in strong, large classes, but it wasn’t their day. Seren, particularly, didContinue reading “North of England Dalmatian Club champ show”
