Time in the Lakes

Seren is currently in season so she is having a holiday in the Lakes. She is loving mooching, playing with her frisbee and Mac’s ball. The weather is being kind to us, lots of sunshine. She’s got about another week to go before she returns home. I’m jealous that I can’t spend it with her,Continue reading “Time in the Lakes”

Critique from the Scottish Kennel Club May Show

Seren’s critique from the May SKC show. Thank you to judge Jenny Wright for such a comprehensive, honest and helpful critique.I always find showing Seren more stressful than Lottie or Mac, maybe it’s because she’s my homebred baby, and my pick of the litter, but I love what she does in the ring and howContinue reading “Critique from the Scottish Kennel Club May Show”

Mud, glorious mud!

We took the Spots to a secure field, as Mac is super sensitive to smells at the moment so has to be on a lead for walks. The secure field allows him to mooch around rather than going where I am. The pond/puddle has become a squelchy mud pond, and all 3 loved going forContinue reading “Mud, glorious mud!”

We stayed in our usual hotel and Seren had the choice of who she slept withContinue reading “Scotland”

National Champ Show

First champ show since Crufts, and it was just Seren and I. I do like National, lovely, big ring, spacious benching, and it’s always been good weather. Under judge Charlotte Page, Seren got a respectable Reserve in a strong Post Graduate class. I was super pleased with how she went for me, especially as itContinue reading “National Champ Show”

The Spots love going to my parents, they love the space, the stream, the ponies … they love everything!! We’ve had some trees cut down after storm damage, so it seemed the ideal opportunity to get some core balance and on practise … Seren also had her third birthday … Naini made her cake andContinue reading “A weekend at Naini’s”

Photoshoot

I wanted to get some more professional photos of the Spots, maybe for adverts, so I asked the lovely Natalie from Hellherder Photography to do a photo shoot. We travelled down a a lovely secure field in Ashby de la Zouche for it. The field was at the top of the hill and we hadContinue reading “Photoshoot”

Easter break

Ellie came back from university so we’ve had a few days off, doing the beach and going to my parents in the Lake District. The Spots love both the beach and Naini’s, they are their ideas of heaven! We like to go to Formby, I love the mix of dunes and sand, you can getContinue reading “Easter break”
