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.

Birmingham City Champ Show
A first for us, we’ve not been before. Dave drew the short straw and the very early start to come with me as we were taking all 3 Spots.
