Birmingham National Champ show

I’ve always loved this show, lovely big outside rings, so 8 entered Mac, Seren and Eira. Sadly we were inside, with a small crate area, so Seren stayed at home. Mac was handled by Marina, first time he’s gone with someone else, and he did us proud, getting 2nd in a very strong Open class,Continue reading “Birmingham National Champ show”

West of England Ladies Kennel Society Champ show

It’s only our 2nd time going to WELKs, I admit to not liking the drive! Seren came as a junior, but it was Eira’s last time out as a puppy. First time on grass, she was a wee bit bouncy! Although she didn’t place in a strong, big puppy class, she did pull it outContinue reading “West of England Ladies Kennel Society Champ show”

Scottish Utility BreedsClub Champ Show

What an early start!! Out at 5am with Mac, Seren, Eira and Beth to go to Edinburgh for the day. Our judge was Gillian Marley, who had previously judged Mac and Seren before. Sadly both girls were not placed in their classes, but I was pleased with both of them, especially Seren, who hasn’t beenContinue reading “Scottish Utility BreedsClub Champ Show”

Crufts and Discover dogs

Eira was lucky enough to get a slot on the Dalmatian stand in Discover Dogs. She shared the slot with the lovely Albie, and they got on like a house on fire. Eira was really good with the public, especially the children, so gentle and calm with them. She enjoyed all the treats and fuss!Continue reading “Crufts and Discover dogs”

Some Critiques for Eira

BUBA Champ Show under Janet Kay Dalmatian – Novice Bitch 1ST – Ailsadot Blue Orchid (Mrs C Wallington) (L) This youngster needs time as a minor puppy; she was a little bewildered by the show ring. Saying that she was a lovely, shapely girl with ample, round bone and substance. Her head was feminine withContinue reading “Some Critiques for Eira”

Ladies Kennel Association Champ Show

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”

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”
