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. She found the flooring a bit slippy and was a bit fidgety, but she won her class and went on to get Reserve BestContinue reading “Coventry Ladies Kennel Association Open Show”

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”

North of England Dalmatian Club Champ show

Our first show in a while, sometimes it’s good to have a little break. Seren was in her first Yearling class, and very much the baby in it. 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”

A Couple of Open Shows

I love it when there are a couple of shows on the same day at the same venue. Whilst it makes for a longer day, it allows more time to chat and socialise. Today we had the Lancaster and District Canine Society and the Morecombe and Heysham Canine Association shows. It was a bit hecticContinue reading “A Couple of Open Shows”

Leeds Champ Show

Frank Kane (he of Crufts fame) was judging Dalmatians at Leeds, so I decided to take all three to the show. The girls showed their socks off in big classes, Mac was less enthusiastic on the run, so didn’t get as highly placed as he could have done, but that life. Mac got third inContinue reading “Leeds Champ Show”
