Boston Champ Show

First show of 2023, and we took a long trek south to Peterborough. Lottie, Seren and Beth were very excited as it meant a night in a hotel! And the girls’ love a hotel room! Seren was in a big Yearling class, and even though she was a bit fidgety, she still got placed second.Continue reading “Boston Champ Show”

Coventry Ladies Kennel Association Open Show

New Years Day and a trip down the M6 with Seren, Lottie and Beth to an open show with a breed specialist judge. Seren was in a decent Post Graduate class.

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”

Sedgley and Gornal Premier Open Show

A lovely show not too far down the road. Seren has had some time out of the ring and ringcraft following her season, phantom, kennel cough and a haematoma that needed treating … bit of a rough 3 months. She was unsettled at her last show so I thought a few smaller shows might helpContinue reading “Sedgley and Gornal Premier Open Show”

It was a big class, so I was pleased with her Reserve placing. Lottie was in her last Post Grad class, and it was a big one!Continue reading “North of England Dalmatian Club Champ show”

Scottish Kennel Club Champ Show

I love going to the SKC, a lovely show, and I love the tartan prize cards and rosettes! Seren was Reserve in a big Junior class. She’s not feeling the best, starting with a phantom pregnancy so hormonal and moody.
