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”
British Dalmatian Club Champ Show
It was a huge entry for the BDC Champ show, with a judge for the girls (John McCarthy) and a judge for the dogs (Mrs Jenvall). Lots of class clashes as we had 2 rings, but all three got short listed in big classes and Lottie got reserve in her mid limit class, so aContinue reading “British Dalmatian Club Champ Show”
Midland Counties Champ Show
We took all three Spots to Stafford showground for Midland Champ show, under judge Bill Deamer. The classes were huge, so no placings for any of the Spots, but they all looked great.
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. He was rewarded with a bacon and egg butty for breakfast and a very a nice late lunch! He also had the responsibility of taking theContinue reading “Birmingham City Champ Show”
Sisters
Peggy (Ailsadot Astral Andromeda, Miss Lilac) has been helping rebuild Seren’s confidence following a dog attack last year. We’ve been on 2 walks with the girls’ the first one in Stalybridge Country Park, and the second one round Windy Bank Woods. Seren was a little nervous and cautious to begin with, whilst Peggy was desperateContinue reading “Sisters”
The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show
It’s only the 2nd time I’ve gone to Builth Wells for a show, it’s not that far, but it takes nearly 4 hours! We booked a lovely AirBnB about 30 minutes from the Showground to make it easier to get to in the morning. It was a really cold, wind day, struggled to believe it’sContinue reading “The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show”
Critiques from Boston Champ Show
Judge Lee CoxSerenLimitThe largest class of the day and some really good bitches in it.1: Ailsadot Astral Lyra (Mrs C Wallington). b/s of obvious quality and superb for type, delightful head and expression, well off for substance but totally feminine. Moved out precisely. In great condition. With the average amount of luck, she should beContinue reading “Critiques from Boston Champ Show”
Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show
I love a joint champ show, and it’s a first for us, going to Kelso, and for the first SUBA champ show. Yesterday we took Mac and Seren his time, although Lottie did join us later to say hi to people! We started with SUBA, with Mac in Veteran, I still can’t believe he’s aContinue reading “Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show”
