Blackpool Champ Show

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. Lottie was also entered in Limit, so EllieContinue reading “Blackpool Champ Show”

Albus went to Southern Counties Champ Show

And did amazingly well! He was entered in Post Graduate dog and Special Beginners dog, and won first place in both classes, taking him into his first dog challenge and qualifying him for Crufts 2024. I’m so proud of him and his owner, a fantastic team.

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”

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”

Crufts Weekend

Whilst Crufts is the biggest dog show in the world, it’s still a dog show, just one that means long days! Only the girls came along, we decided taking 2 cars was a bit much, Dave wasn’t bothered about going, and Mac prefers to stay at home and mooch, rather than be benched for hours.Continue reading “Crufts Weekend”

All three Spots went to the last Joint Dalmatian Clubs Champ show, and all came home with a rosette and place card. Seren was up first in a large Yearling class, and placed 3rd.
