Finally the signs of Spring are appearing. It’s hard to believe that this time two years ago we were planning the Ailsadot Astral litter. Both Mac and Lottie have matured nicely over the last couple of years, and Seren is beginning to mature, she’s still very much a puppy mentally, and going through another growthContinue reading “Spring is coming”

Christmas 2022
We always spend Christmas with the girls’ grandparents, my parents. But covid meant that we missed a couple of years, and last year Seren was in season, so it was lovely to be back there this year. My parents live in the Lake District so we were surrounded by beautiful scenery, snow on the topsContinue reading “Christmas 2022”
Formby Beach
We always go to the beach during the Christmas holiday, it’s a bit of a family ritual. As always we go early so we are usually leaving as everyone else is arriving! The tide was a it’s highest, something we haven’t experienced before, so the Spots were totally confused, as they are used to runningContinue reading “Formby Beach”
Early morning trip to the beach
I love an early trip to the beach, a good walk before it gets too busy. The dogs love the space, lots of chasing and playing.
Formby Beach
With the weather being so hot we decided to head to the beach for an early morning run, let the Spots let of some steam, but keep cool in the sea. The tide was at it’s lowest so we had a bit of walk down to the sea. The Spots loved chasing each other andContinue reading “Formby Beach”
Leeds Champ Show
Frank Kane (he of Crufts fame) was judging Dalmatians at Leeds, so I decided to take all three to the show.

Mac got third inContinue reading “Leeds Champ Show”

All three Spots qualified for Crufts this year, so off we went to the biggest dog show in the world. This was Mac and Seren’s first time, Lottie’s second time, and classes were huge!
