Handling class

Eira and I attended a handling class run by Marina White. It was a 2 hour workshop but quite intensive for both Eira and myself. We learned a few tips and have come away feeling quite confident about starting Eira’s show career.

Eira at 5 months

Where has the time gone!! I can’t believe the puppies are 5 months old already.

Considering he hasn’t been in a ring since February 2020, he coped really well. it was great just getting back into the swing of showing and seeing faces I haven’t seen in months and months. We took Seren too, she sat in her crate, hadContinue reading “First ringcraft in a while”

Ringcraft in the garden

With no shows or ringcraft we are having to improvise, so whilst we were visiting my parents we did a bit of practise as they have the space to run. And the girls had a go too …

Ringcraft

I usually go to ringcraft in my own with one of the Spots. Tonight Beth decided she would like to come. After watching for a while she decided to have a go with Lottie, and she did really well.
