Mac took 2nd in a strong Open class. Seren was not placed in her large open class. Driffield 49th (last year’s show) was judgedContinue reading “Driffield Champ shows”

British Utility Breeds Association Champ Show
The last show of the year for us, and just Mac and Seren. It wasn’t really our day, Mac got a Very Highly Commended, Seren, in the biggest class of the day, wasn’t placed. We are now going to take some time out, have a rest and plan next year’s show schedule.
North of England Dalmatian Club champ show
I took Mac and Seren to the club show, with the damper weather I didn’t want Loodles in a crate all day. The hall was cold and the matting got slippier and slippier as the day went on. Both showed their socks off in strong, large classes, but it wasn’t their day. Seren, particularly, didContinue reading “North of England Dalmatian Club champ show”
Midland Counties Champ Show
We took all three Spots to Stafford showground for Midland Champ show, under judge Bill Deamer. The classes were huge, so no placings for any of the Spots, but they all looked great.
Birmingham City Champ Show
A first for us, we’ve not been before. Dave drew the short straw and the very early start to come with me as we were taking all 3 Spots. He was rewarded with a bacon and egg butty for breakfast and a very a nice late lunch! He also had the responsibility of taking theContinue reading “Birmingham City Champ Show”
The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show
It’s only the 2nd time I’ve gone to Builth Wells for a show, it’s not that far, but it takes nearly 4 hours! We booked a lovely AirBnB about 30 minutes from the Showground to make it easier to get to in the morning. It was a really cold, wind day, struggled to believe it’sContinue reading “The Welsh Kennel Club Champ Show”
Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show
I love a joint champ show, and it’s a first for us, going to Kelso, and for the first SUBA champ show. Yesterday we took Mac and Seren his time, although Lottie did join us later to say hi to people! We started with SUBA, with Mac in Veteran, I still can’t believe he’s aContinue reading “Scottish Utility Breeds Association Champ show, and Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show”
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”
Scotland
Seren, Ellie and I had a bit of a road trip to Edinburgh for the Scottish Kennel Club May Champ show and October Champ Show being held on the same day, and the Dalmatian Club of Scotland Champ show. 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”
