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”

Some critiques from recent and not so recent shows!

Mac’s critique from Gillian Marley at Scottish Utility Breed Association Champ show, 11th April 2025.  VD/B (5) 1 Wallington, Sophtspot In The Zone. At nearly 10 years old this boy has a balanced outline. I liked his size, he is in very good overall condition both in substance and muscle tone. He has a pleasingContinue reading “Some critiques from recent and not so recent shows!”

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”

A few critiques

CITY OF BIRMINGHAM – 2025 DALMATIAN  Vd (2,1) 1 Wallington,  Sophtspot In The Zone Nicely marked, with a good head and expression. Pleasing body and bone with a nice flow of neck into a good topline. OK for rear angulation, with well muscled quarters, and a good second thigh. Feet OK, but might benefit fromContinue reading “A few critiques”

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”

Driffield Champ shows

So we are back showing after 8 months out!! There were 2 Champs shows as last year’s show was cancelled due to the storm. Driffield 2025 was judged by Jackie Kitchener. Mac took 2nd in a strong Open class. Seren was not placed in her large open class. Driffield 49th (last year’s show) was judgedContinue reading “Driffield Champ shows”

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”
