We’ve had a few days off, so as well as doing lots of jobs, we decided to have a day out in the Peak District. Chee Dale was perfect, a reasonable flat walk, with plenty of shade and water for the Spots. Chee Dale is a beautiful place, a lovely walk, but definitely one forContinue reading “Chee Dale”

Last year’s show was a fantastic one for Seren, getting Best Junior in Breed. So this year we risked forward and put her both in Post Graduate and then in Limit to see if she get placed high enough to get her Kennel Club Stud Book Number.

A bit a snuffle enrichment
I like to use enrichment activities to help build calm and peace in the house, especially as we have a very barky dog across the street, and when lots is going on on the street. I don’t use snuffle enrichment everyday, and I use a variety, matched to each dog’s patience and frustration levels. LottieContinue reading “A bit a snuffle enrichment”
A glorious bank holiday weekend
The weather has been fantastic, the Spots have loved being out in the sunshine. We spent the bank holiday in the Lake District, so the Spots had a great time playing in the paddocks, paddling in the stream and sunbathing. As well as lots of playing and fun, they did also do some thoughtful posingContinue reading “A glorious bank holiday weekend”

Pollard Open Show
Another warm day, and another outdoor show. First time there, tiny, uneven ring, so probably our one and only time there. We put the beach tent up away from the rings, so Seren could have a bit of peace. First time for her in a crate in a tent, she doesn’t do new experiences overlyContinue reading “Pollard Open Show”
The beach
We love a beach trip, as long as it’s out early and leaving before everyone else arrives!! We went to Formby this morning, and it was a little different for the dogs as there was a sea mist, so low visibility and weird sounds. The dogs loved playing in the sand, paddling in the seaContinue reading “The beach”
National Dog Show
Just Seren for National this year … it was a warm day, after all the rain, a bit slippy underfoot. Seren showed her socks off, and got Very Highly Commended in a strong Graduate class of 13. Nothing in the Good Citizen stakes class, we missed the Post Grad stakes as it clashed with herContinue reading “National Dog Show”
Play field morning
I love being able to book a secure field for an hour every now and then. It’s a godsend when Mac is particularly sniffy, as it means I can relax, he can roam freely and walks don’t get cut short! I love this particular field, it’s got interesting agility style bits, woody parts and openContinue reading “Play field morning”
