National Dog Show

Crufts Weekend

Whilst Crufts is the biggest dog show in the world, it’s still a dog show, just one that means long days! Only the girls came along, we decided taking 2 cars was a bit much, Dave wasn’t bothered about going, and Mac prefers to stay at home and mooch, rather than be benched for hours.Continue reading “Crufts Weekend”

Discover Dogs at Crufts

I love taking the girls’ to do Discover Dogs at Crufts. It’s a great opportunity to show off our amazing breed and dispel some myths people have about them. Both girls’ love saying hello, especially Lottie, who spent the 2 and a half hours smiling and sneezing at everyone! Seren found it a bit tiring,Continue reading “Discover Dogs at Crufts”

Manchester Champ Show

Our first time to this show, just the girls’. It was in the main hall at the Staffordshire County Show ground. It was very loud and the benching was away from the ring.
